AirPosture uses the motion sensors built into AirPods to capture head posture, and when it detects forward head tilt, it reminds the user by voice to sit up straight.
Different AirPods models have different sensor configurations and degrees of firmware openness, and the sampling frequency and precision of the available data affect the sensitivity and false-alarm rate of the reminders.
Earbud-based solutions can only reflect head posture indirectly and cannot measure spinal curvature the way a cervical patch can, so they are essentially head-posture reminders rather than spinal-posture monitoring.
AirPods estimate head orientation and rotation by fusing data such as that from the accelerometer and gyroscope, achieving the effect in spatial audio where the sound field stays fixed as the head moves.
The AirPods series has built-in accelerometers and gyroscopes, originally used for features such as spatial audio and head tracking.
The new version of AirPosture adds an AirPods voice coach feature and a weekly posture data review, and keeps the iPhone and Mac in sync.
When AirPods are put on, Cue automatically activates system focus mode, blocks distracting websites, and starts a timer in the notch area.
AirPods connection status can be monitored via the CoreBluetooth or Core Audio framework, combined with AudioSession device change notifications to determine wearing behavior.
When AirPods are removed, Cue enters break time and re-opens the previously blocked websites.
Cue is a macOS productivity tool that automatically puts a Mac into focus mode when the user puts on AirPods.
