POZY - Combat text neck with your digital pet

by•
DID YOU KNOW YOUR PHONE IS HEAVY? When you look down at your screen, you aren't just holding your phone. You are adding up to 27kg (60lbs) of effective pressure to your cervical spine. That is like carrying a 7-year-old child around your neck! Ignore the slouch, and you risk developing "Text Neck" and chronic strain. But you can't improve what you can't measure. It uses your phone's built-in sensors to track your angle and guide you toward better habits all while keeping a cute digital pet

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the maker of Pozy, and I’m super excited to finally share it with you all. Like many of you, I spend way too much time staring at my phone. I realized that "text neck" was becoming a real issue for me, but I didn't want to buy expensive wearable hardware to fix it. I thought, "My phone already has sensors, why can't it just tell me when I'm slouching?" That’s why I built Pozy. It uses your phone’s internal gyroscope and accelerometer to detect the angle of your device. If you're holding your phone in a way that causes bad posture, Pozy gives you a gentle reminder to lift it up. Core features: 📱 Works in the background while you use other apps. 🤫 Gentle, non-intrusive reminders. 📊 Tracks your posture habits over time. I’d love to hear your feedback on the sensitivity settings and the UI. Let me know what you think in the comments! Cheers, Mahesh
