ErgoCam is a real-time posture coach that uses your iPhone's front camera to spot the bad habits that quietly wreck your back, neck, and shoulders — before the pain shows up. THREE MODES, ONE APP • Phone:catches tech neck (chin tucked toward your collar), screens held too close, and head-tilt strain while you scroll. • Desk: watches your shoulders, chest, and chin in real time. Alerts the moment you slump toward the screen. • Driving: mount the phone on the dash. ErgoCam watches for drowsiness (eye closure, head dropping) and slumped driving posture. Audio-only alerts keep your eyes on the road. CALIBRATED TO YOU • One-tap calibrate per mode — phone, desk, and driving each remember their own baseline, so the app never fires "bad posture" on a healthy variant. • Fine-tune by tapping your shoulders, chin, and chest on a frozen frame. The app uses YOUR anatomy as the slouch reference, not a generic model. • Driving uses a five-point side profile (ear, neck, shoulder, side of upper back, side of lower back) so it understands posture from a dashboard angle. REAL CONTROLS • On/off switches for tech neck and head-tilt detection if a detector keeps firing on a posture you consider fine. • A "back straight" sensitivity slider that scales slouch, forward-head, and chest-gap alerts together. • Sound + haptic, visual flash banner, or silent visual-only mode for meetings. • Reminder pings if you want a gentle check-in even when ErgoCam isn't on screen. DESIGNED TO ACTUALLY STAY ON • Won't go dark — ErgoCam keeps the screen awake while it's watching, so your auto-lock doesn't quietly shut posture coaching off. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Every Vision computation happens on your iPhone. Camera frames never leave the device — no cloud upload, no account required. WHO IT'S FOR • Remote workers who slump into their laptops by 4 PM. • Anyone who scrolls in bed and wonders why their neck hurts. • Drivers without built-in driver-monitoring — especially long-haul, older drivers, and parents of new drivers. • People who've tried posture-correcting straps and want a smarter, less annoying nudge. Sit up. Look up. Drive safe. • Chin & neck position tracking Helps identify forward-head posture and neck compression. • Eye fatigue & drowsiness detection Monitors eyelid openness and fatigue indicators during long sessions. • Smart wellness reminders Receive posture corrections, stretch reminders, and focus breaks. • Privacy-first design All processing happens locally on your device. No cloud tracking. No recordings uploaded. • Lightweight & automatic Runs quietly in the background while you work. IDEAL FOR • Remote workers • Students • Developers • Designers • Gamers • Office professionals • Anyone spending long hours in front of a screen WHY ERGOCAM? Most people do not realize how often they slouch, lean forward, or strain their neck until discomfort appears. ErgoCam brings real-time awareness to your posture using the camera already built into your Mac. Better posture starts with awareness. ErgoCam — See your posture. Improve your habits.
