Looking for a posture reminder app?
A free app that detects forward head posture with your webcam and lets you know when you've held it too long. Try it right in your browser — no install required.
Why a reminder beats "correction" for tech neck
Forward head posture — often called tech neck — is when your head drifts forward as you stare at a screen for too long. Plenty of people search for ways to "fix" it, but the truth is that no app or gadget can physically straighten your neck for you. What the latest evidence points to is simple: it's not about holding one "perfect" position, but about not staying in any single position too long and changing it often.
The best posture is — your next one.
How BaroSit detects tech neck
BaroSit analyzes your webcam feed entirely on your device (your video is never stored or sent anywhere) to read how far your head has drifted forward, in real time. When forward head posture lasts a while, a small on-screen nudge gives you a gentle reminder to shift your position for a moment.
- Real-time detection of 7 posture types — forward head, chin-on-hand, shoulder tilt, slouching and more
- No nagging — when you move well, you get encouragement and points instead
- Video is processed on-device — nothing ever leaves your computer
- The desktop app keeps detecting in the background even when the window is closed, with a mini widget
Try it instantly on the web with no install, or download the Windows or macOS app to run it in the background. It's free.
