Fix your desk, not your score
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Requires AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, AirPods Max or Beats Fit Pro.
Most headphones cannot do this.
Most posture apps score you against the position you started in. If you begin a
session already hunched over a laptop, they call that hunched position "good"
and congratulate you for holding it.
Axis doesn't do that.
Your headphones already contain the motion sensors Apple built for spatial
audio. Axis reads them and measures your neck against a fixed upright neutral:
neck vertical, ears over your shoulders, gaze level. Ninety degrees. That target
never moves, so your score means the same thing on every session, on every day.
LEADS WITH THE FIX, NOT THE NUMBER
A session doesn't end with a grade. It ends with the single change most worth
making, and the evidence behind it.
"Raise your screen. Your head sat 26° forward for almost the whole session and
barely moved. A steady angle like that comes from where the screen is, not from
how hard you were concentrating."
Axis can tell those apart. A neck that starts upright and sinks over an hour is
fatigue, and the fix is your chair and your break cadence. A neck that sits at
the same deep angle the whole time is furniture, and the fix is screen height.
Same average angle, completely different problem.
If the same finding comes back three sessions running, Axis says so. A problem
that keeps returning is the strongest argument for actually changing something.
BUILT FOR SITTING AT A COMPUTER
Axis is for desk work, and only desk work. Not walking, not driving, not
workouts, not sleep. Away from a desk your head moves constantly and for good
reasons, so a posture reading there would be noise.
It knows when you've left. Walk away mid-session and Axis pauses rather than
recording your kitchen trip as terrible posture. Time it didn't measure never
counts toward your score.
HONEST BY DESIGN
- One calibration learns how your headphones sit in your ears, so your neutral
is yours and not an average.
- If your desk can't reach neutral, Axis tells you why and shows you the fix,
then lets you track anyway with honest low scores.
- If your headphones stop reporting, it says so and stops counting. It will
never credit you with posture it didn't measure.
- Every session shows the full breakdown: time at neutral, time drifting, time
with your head forward, and your longest unbroken stretch.
Three sensitivity levels, from textbook-strict to forgiving while your setup is
still a work in progress.
WHAT YOU NEED
Supported headphones, connected and worn:
- AirPods (3rd generation)
- AirPods Pro (1st and 2nd generation)
- AirPods Max
- Beats Fit Pro
Most other headphones cannot do this. The motion sensors Axis needs are specific
to these models.
Leave Axis open on the desk beside you. It keeps the screen awake for the length
of a session, so you can work normally without touching your phone.
TRY IT, THEN BUY IT ONCE
Three days free, starting when you finish calibration rather than when you
install. After that, a single payment unlocks Axis permanently on every device
signed in to your Apple Account.
No subscription. No account. Nothing to cancel.
YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE
Axis has no account, no server, and no analytics. Your sessions never leave your
device.
