SlouchLess v1.0.0
SlouchLess v1.0.0
SlouchLess is a lightweight desktop app that watches your posture through your camera and nudges you when you start slouching.
How it works
- Uses MediaPipe pose detection to track your neck, shoulders, and head position in real time.
- A short guided calibration (sit upright, then slouch on cue) learns your personal posture thresholds instead of relying on one-size-fits-all defaults.
- Adapts its detection method to where your webcam actually sits - above your monitor or below it - since that changes which signals are reliable.
- Pops up a (mildly judgmental) reminder once it's confident you've been slouching for some time.
Getting started
- Download the build for your OS below.
- Run it.
- Answer the setup questions (choose camera, camera position, and whether to calibrate).
- If calibrating, follow the on-screen prompts: sit upright, then slouch, each cued by a beep.
- Minimize the video window and get back to work - it'll only interrupt you when you actually need it.
Requirements
- Windows 11 (64-bit) or Linux (tested on Ubuntu 22.04)
- A webcam or built-in camera
Known limitations
- Only tested on Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 - other versions/distros may work but aren't verified.
- Supports two camera positions, above or below the monitor. Results in other setups aren't verified.
- The exe is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run - click "More info" → "Run anyway."
