You are probably hunched over reading this. SitSense turns your laptop camera into a real time posture coach. No wearables. No hardware. Just open your browser. Get nudged when you start slouching, track your posture score, build streaks, and rank up from Shrimp to Giraffe.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Like a lot of you, I spend most of my day at a laptop. At some point I realized my posture was getting worse every year, but every solution required buying a wearable gadget or strapping something to your back. So I built SitSense. It turns your laptop webcam into a real time posture coach. No wearables, no hardware, nothing to install. Just open it in your browser and it nudges you when you start slouching. It tracks posture in real time, gives you a posture score, and helps you build better habits with streaks and simple feedback. The goal is to make posture awareness effortless while you work. I would love feedback from this community on a few things: • Does the idea of a webcam posture coach feel useful or weird? • What would make this something you would actually keep open during the workday? • Any features you would want to see? You can try it instantly here: https://sitsense.app Really excited to hear what you all think 🙏

@cagarwal70 Congrats on your launch! To directly answer your feedback questions: the webcam coach idea feels useful, not weird — the weirder part was always wearing something. What would keep me using it all day is a “quiet hours” setting and a weekly posture trend report.

@jacklyn_i Will definitely look into adding that what do you think you'd like to ese in your weekly posture trend report?

I appreciate the “no wearables, no hardware, nothing to install” Congrats on achieving this! Any plans for a focus mode integration, where SitSense only monitors during active work sessions and pauses during breaks? This make it more like a coach rather than surveillance.

@jerrybyday Hey Jeremiah, yes we already have a break reminder and break system in place! Definitely still needs some work though!

As someone who's been working from the same desk for 3 years and just paid $800 for physical therapy, I'm curious about your privacy model - is all the posture detection happening locally or does my slouching data make a round trip to your servers? The real-time feedback loop sounds perfect for preventing the slow creep of bad habits that only hurt after months of reinforcement.

it will be great if the app could track your posture via webcam and send you notification when you go on the orange/red zone (bad posture). Good luck!
