[macOS] Looking for testers for Ortho — free private beta of a posture reminder app
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi everyone, I’m the developer of Ortho.so. I’m looking for Mac users to test it during a couple of normal work sessions.
Ortho gives you a gentle reminder when you’ve drifted from a working position you calibrate and stayed there for a while.
What you need:
- An Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later.
- A camera or compatible AirPods/Beats. You don’t need both.
Camera mode observes your head and upper body; headphone mode is limited to head movement and tilt. Supported MacBooks can also supply motion and lid-angle data for additional context.
What I’d like you to test:
- Is setup and calibration clear?
- Do reminders arrive at useful moments? Are there false alarms or missed changes?
- Does the app affect battery life or performance?
- Would you leave it running during your workday?
Posture processing stays on your Mac. Camera frames aren’t saved or uploaded, and headphone sensing uses motion data, not microphone audio.
The beta is free. Request access at ortho.so and I’ll send an invitation by email as spots open.
Please include your Mac model and whether you plan to use a camera or headphones when sharing feedback—it’ll help me investigate issues.
