## Description

**Neck Up by MoltyOrtho** is an intuitive Chrome extension designed to help users detect and correct bad neck postures caused by prolonged use of mobile devices like phones and tablets. It measures the angle of your device using the X, Y, Z coordinates to monitor whether you're holding your device at a healthy posture angle.

The extension runs discreetly in the background, providing real-time feedback with notifications and detailed reports on your posture throughout the day. By classifying posture angles into Excellent, Good, Average, or Bad, Neck Up helps reduce neck strain and promotes healthier device usage habits without requiring any external wearables. Track your hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly posture statistics to improve your neck health over time.
