A Linux app that dims your screen when you slouch
Project description
postured
A Linux app that dims your screen when you slouch. Optionally locks your screen when you step away.
Uses your webcam and MediaPipe pose detection to monitor your posture. When slouching is detected, the screen dims as a reminder to sit up straight. Runs locally with minimal CPU usage.
Install
pip install postured
Or with uv:
uv pip install postured
Usage
postured
Desktop Integration
To add postured to your application menu:
postured --install-desktop
This installs the .desktop file and icon to ~/.local/share/.
Settings
Right-click the tray icon to access:
- Sensitivity - affects detection threshold and dim intensity; higher values trigger on smaller posture deviations and dim the screen more
- Lock when away - lock screen when you step away from the camera
D-Bus Interface
