Slouch Sniper

The application runs on Windows and Apple‑silicon Macs and uses the built‑in webcam to monitor the user’s sitting posture in real time. An on‑device AI model analyzes the video feed locally, so no image data leaves the computer, and determines when the user is slouching or has a forward‑head posture. When a deviation is detected, the program dims the screen until the user returns to an upright position, providing an immediate, visual cue without requiring any wearable sensors.

Designed as a gentle posture coach, the software records posture metrics over time, allowing users to track trends and build habits through repeated feedback. The dimming effect is intended to be subtle rather than disruptive, and the interface is described as clean and low‑impact on battery life. The app also includes a blog with practical ergonomics advice and a subscription option for updates, but the core functionality remains the on‑device, privacy‑preserving webcam‑based slouch detection and screen‑dimming reminder.
