What is Straighty?
Build better desk habits with Straighty - the intelligent posture awareness app for Mac.
Straighty uses your Mac's built-in camera and computer vision to monitor your sitting position in real-time, providing gentle reminders to help you maintain consistent posture awareness throughout your workday. No wearables required - just smart notifications when you need them.
How It Works
Calibrate the app to your preferred sitting position, and Straighty tracks your head, neck, and shoulder alignment. When your posture changes from your baseline, you'll receive gentle audio cues or notifications as reminders to check your positioning.
Key Features
- Smart Position Monitoring: Computer vision technology tracks your body positioning relative to your calibrated baseline for personalized awareness.
- Pomodoro Integration: Work in focused 25-minute sessions with built-in posture monitoring and productivity break reminders.
- Battery Saver Mode: Choose interval-based checking (30 seconds to 10 minutes) instead of continuous monitoring to preserve system resources.
- Movement Break Reminders: Guided stretching exercises encourage regular movement during work breaks.
- Personal Calibration: One-click setup adapts to your individual sitting preferences and workspace setup.
- Gentle Notifications: Choose from soft voice reminders, chimes, or discrete notifications that won't disrupt your workflow.
- Privacy Focused: All processing happens locally on your Mac. No personal data leaves your device.
Ideal For
- Remote workers and students
- Anyone seeking better workspace ergonomics
- People building consistent desk habits
- Professionals using productivity techniques

- Camera permissions required for position monitoring
