Hey makers 👋 As a student, I spend hours a day in front of my macOS screen. Keeping a bad posture for so long hurts your eyes and your back. So I made posture.watch. It analyzes your eyes and warns you when you get too close to the screen. You can configure the seconds interval, and set your preferred distance. Feel fry to ask for a free copy :)

A very useful product, truly amazing. I suggest adding a feature where the screen is forcibly locked for a certain period during reminders.

@zhiqi_shi Will do!

What a great idea and so helpful! Any chance you are launching for windows too?

@natalia_eiriz I'm still thinking about it. This would require a replacement of Apple's AI toolkit. For now replacements are extremely heavy and resource consuming on Windows platforms.

@bockerwee thanks Ali! Will definitely follow up!

Applies to me. In the last year my eyesight got worse rapidly. Posture is good so far but that eyesight. 😭 Neat idea.

@bockerwee This is such a useful tool, especially for someone like me who spends all day looking at screens. My posture has gotten pretty bad, so having real-time reminders to fix it is exactly what I need. The eye distance feature is such a smart idea! Maybe adding a stretch reminder would make it even better. Wishing you lots of success with this—so many people like me will benefit from it!

I love this idea, it's like what I need - sitting in front of the laptop so much.

What an amazing idea! Posture is such an overlooked issue, especially for students and professionals who spend long hours in front of a screen. The fact that posture.watch analyzes eye distance and offers warnings is super helpful for promoting healthier habits. Best of luck with your launch, this is a tool a lot of people will benefit from 🚀👏
