Headjust

I work long hours with headphones on, and I kept running into the same pattern: I’d start a session feeling fine, then a couple hours later I’d realize I’d been leaning forward or holding my head in one position without noticing. Not because I was trying to. Just because focus has a way of quietly rearranging you. I tried a few “reminder” style approaches and apps, but they didn’t stick. The problem wasn’t motivation. It was awareness. I didn’t want an app telling me what to do. I wanted something that simply showed me what was happening, in the moment, with zero friction. So I built…

What it does

A native macOS app that uses your headphones to visualize head movement, helping you stay fluid and balanced throughout your day. It surfaces subtle head shifts in real time and translates them into a simple balance score, so you can notice your sitting habits and adjust naturally as you work.

A native macOS app that shows what your head's been up to. Your headphones surface the tilt and lean you never noticed. Requires macOS 15.6+ Compatible with AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation and later), AirPods Max, and Beats headphones that support dynamic head tracking. See how Headjust turns the raw spatial motion data from your AirPods into a real-time balance score. When you work, you move. You lean in to read. You turn to a second screen.

It translates your invisible habits into a simple Balance Score ,…from headjust.app

    Hello, I'm Kushagra and I am the indie developer behind LookAway (I've posted about it earlier but it has received quite a lot of updates since the last time so I am posting it again). LookAway is a native break reminder for macOS that doesn't interrupt. I built it because I work from home and I spend a lot of time in front of my screens.
