Hey it's Marc!
I made an app to fix my terrible posture.
It uses my MacBook Pro camera to watch me work.
When AI detects that I’m sitting like a shrimp 🦐, it sends me a notification with a preview of my posture so I can reposition myself.
Everything stays local. It works offline too.

And because apparently my brain only responds to fake rewards, I added XP: good posture makes my shrimp evolve (currently level 7).
@marclou What a magical love story in this video. Good posture is the key not only to physical beauty but also to good health

this is clever - using existing webcam instead of requiring new hardware. how accurate is the posture detection? we work with wearables data all day and know how tricky body positioning can be to get right, especially with just computer vision.

Love that this runs completely on-device — no creepy webcam footage going to the cloud. The shrimp evolution gamification is a nice touch too. Quick question though: does the posture scoring adapt to different body types or sitting setups? Like someone using a standing desk converter vs a traditional chair would have pretty different 'good posture' baselines.

Looks pretty good, will be trying it out pretty soon :)
I'm assuming it will need the camera access all the time, is that safe

I really like this idea. I struggle with posture a lot too 😅
I’ve tried using a posture corrector, but it can get pretty uncomfortable after a while.
This feels like a much nicer approach.

Didn't see what versions of MacOS you support.
