Upsaro for developers

A posture reminder for developers who forget they have a neck

Debugging pulls you toward the screen one centimetre at a time. By the end of the day your head is a hand's width closer to the monitor and your neck is doing the work. Upsaro notices the lean-in so you don't have to.

Sound familiar?

Focus makes you lean in

The harder the problem, the closer you get to the code. Nobody notices their own slouch mid-thought.

Long sessions, few breaks

A two-hour flow state is great for the sprint and hard on your neck, upper back and eyes.

Timers break your flow

Fixed-interval break apps interrupt you at the worst moment, whether you're slouching or not.

How Upsaro helps

  • ✓ Nudges only when you actually lean in past your own trigger distance, not on a timer
  • ✓ One system notification per slip; no screen dimming, no pop-up in your editor
  • ✓ Global keyboard shortcut to pause it before a pairing session or a demo
  • ✓ Runs on your machine: no video is recorded, stored or sent anywhere
Quick win

Push the monitor back to about arm's length and raise it so the top line sits at or just below eye level. Then let Upsaro tell you when you creep forward again.

Try Upsaro on your own desk.
