You can measure my productivity by how slouched I am. Sitting up straight at my desk, chair locked, perfect posture? I’m doing nothing, maybe looking through System Preferences to change the system highlight color. Sliding down in my chair like jelly, with my shoulders where my butt should be and my head resting on the lumbar support? I’m building the next iPhone and it’ll be done by 2 AM.

Sounds like you're literally the target audience for this app.

Not if there is a hard positive correlation between productivity and slouching, like they say.

I can't seem to open it. It keeps saying "Apple could not verify “Posturr.app” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy.". I tried opening by right-cliking on the app file, holding option, etc. I'm on Sequoia 15.7.3 (24G419)

you have to go into your Privacy & Security settings and scroll down until you see something like "Posturr.app was blocked to protect your Mac." and then press "Open Anyway"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sure, but getting the right environment is a prerequisite. In my case it’s a Herman Miller Embody chair [1] that stops me getting into a bad position (it’s not impossible, it just encourages good posture). [1] https://www.hermanmiller.com/en_gb/products/seating/office-c...

Totally a tangent here but it amazes me how a company as big as Herman Miller could screw a product page up so much by not even having a picture of the damn product.

I had the same problem.

Gamer lean is when it gets really serious.
