Posturr is a macOS application that uses computer vision and machine learning — specifically Apple’s Vision framework — to monitor a user’s posture in real time and encourage healthier habits by visually responding when poor posture is detected. Running locally on the Mac, the app accesses the built-in camera to detect when you slouch or sit incorrectly, and when it recognizes sustained slouching, it applies a progressive visual blur to the screen as a subtle but effective cue to straighten up. This approach turns posture correction into an interactive feedback loop that doesn’t require wearables or external sensors, prioritizing privacy because all image processing happens on the device with no cloud transmission. It’s helpful for people who spend long hours working at a desk and want a gentle reminder to maintain ergonomic alignment without intrusive notifications.
