Posturenet — Real-time Posture Assistant for macOS
Posturenet is an intelligent posture-monitoring application built for macOS devices running Monterey that have a front-facing camera. It continuously watches for poor posture and gives on-the-fly guidance to help users sit straighter, ease back discomfort, and stay more focused while working.
How the system detects posture issues
- Personalized machine-learning models adapt to each user's posture patterns to improve detection accuracy over time.
- Deep neural networks analyze camera input in real time to spot slouching and other posture deviations.
- Immediate on-screen alerts and gentle reminders are issued so users can correct their position right away.
Quick setup and privacy-first design
Posturenet is engineered for a fast, no-fuss start — setup takes under a minute. All processing and posture records remain on the device; nothing is uploaded or shared externally, preserving user privacy.
Supported hardware and connections
- Works primarily on macOS machines, but you can also use an iPhone as a camera through Continuity Camera or connect an external webcam for posture tracking.
- The app requires a compatible front-facing camera and macOS Monterey (or later) to function properly.
Customization and calibration
- Users can recalibrate the detection baseline to match their preferred ergonomic position for more accurate monitoring.
- Alert frequency and notification style are adjustable so reminders fit each user’s workflow and tolerance.
Trial period and subscription
Posturenet offers a full-featured free trial that lasts 72 hours; after the trial, a subscription is required to continue using the app’s premium features.
