For everyone who sits too long, at home or the office

The longer you sit, the easier it is to freeze into one position. BaroSit watches your posture through your webcam and reminds you to move whenever you've held a position too long.

Sitting too long: the real problem isn't your "shape"

As work-from-home becomes the norm, the commute and the walks between meetings disappear — and the hours spent glued to one spot grow. Most people fuss over "good posture," but what the evidence really points to isn't the shape of your posture; it's staying in one position for too long. Hold any posture long enough and the load piles up on the same spots.

If you can't sit less, start by changing it more often.
