PostureMinder
Reminds you to sit up straight with pop-up notifications at specified time intervals.
Sitting up straight while at your desk can make a big difference to your posture and overall health.
This simple, elegant extension is easily customizable. Set how often you'd like to see a PostureMinder, then sit back and let it do its work! Useful features include:
== Easy on/off ==
Turn off the extension so you don't embarrass yourself during a presentation.
== Walk reminders ==
In addition to sitting up straight, you should also step away from your device every once in a while.
Set how often you'd like to see a Walk Reminder.
== Snarky ==
Fun, snarky messages will grab your attention and keep you entertained.
==Sync across devices==
Your settings will sync if you have the extension installed across multiple instances of Chrome.

Works super well, there was a comment on the multiple screen pop-up which can be useful feature but to overcome that just enable the sound notification and you'll redirect your attention to your main screen. This is one of those few programs that should be embedded software in any desktop environment for better health. Thank you Devs
I never had any problems getting this to work. Helpful and not intrusive. Literally the only flaw is that, when I'm working on multiple monitors, the reminder only pops up on the screen that is the "main" one. If I'm not looking at that screen than I don't notice it at all, so it would be nice to have an option to have it pop up on all the screens. Otherwise a great extension, I consider it as necessary as Dark Reader and uBlock Origin.
Flat-out doesn't work properly. I never get pop-up alerts and the audio reminder chimes when it wants to and not to the time you set.
i can't delete that...
Initially, this worked great, and I appreciated the reminders! But after a few days I stopped getting the posture reminders I set for every 20 minutes. Now I only get my walk reminders every hour. I tried changing the timing and removing and reinstalling, but neither worked.

Started using this for work after getting RSI. Work as intended but is down to the user to make sure they follow the reminder. Would love a volume adjuster tho, as I find it quite abrupt. Now time to find a H2O reminder, unless you want to add that to :P

Absolutely loving this extension so far! I have it set for 15 minute intervals and my body is already thanking me for standing up and stretching just a little bit.

The Reminder does not appear only a sound. I use Microsoft Edge

I use 25 min intervals to tell me to fix my posture, in that time I remember to fix my posture once and then I get a helpful reminder from this extension, I just absolutely love it

The app seems fine but I really don't like the use of ableist language ("posture check, Quasimodo"). I won't be using this one anymore.

Simple and works as expected. If it's possible, a notification volume setting would be useful. By default, it's way too loud imo.

Very useful, especially for someone like myself who always forgot to adjust my posture or get up for a little walk.

This app is perfect! I love the phrasing of the reminders, the ability to set the timing, and the absence of anything annoying.

Love this extension. Has really been a great help to get the old posture a bit less crooked. I noticed the difference most when I reinstalled the computer and didn't activate this extension again, with the result of going banana shaped again. I wouldn't hate having more variation in the messages, as they work best when I have to connect the brain to read what it wants.

I have used this extension for about a month now and it is really useful. I can really recommend using it in combination with actually learning what good posture is from the Gokhale method! (just search for that, there are some good free video's to start learning)

Only reason this doesn't get five stars right now is due to the notifications not popping up. I see others have run into this as well. It worked flawlessly the first day and that was it :( I have tried removing and reinstalling the extension twice with no luck and have been using chrome the entire time. I really hope this bug is fixed soon because I've been looking for an app like this! Great job with it otherwise.

Was really excited for this extension, but unfortunately it doesn't work on Edge. Don't waste your time.
