This utility model relates to the technical field of posture correctors, and discloses a posture corrector with posture correction reminders. It includes a vertically arranged support base and a clamping mechanism. A posture correction component is installed on the front end of the support base. A mounting position is provided on the top of the support base, and a distance sensor is installed in the mounting position.
