Posture Reminder AI FAQ for Mac

macOS Focus can silence Posture Reminder AI notifications unless the app is allowed in that Focus profile.

1. Open Settings on your Mac.
2. Go to Focus.
3. Select the Focus mode you use for work.
4. In Allowed Apps, add Posture Reminder AI.

Once allowed, posture reminders can appear even while Focus is on.

Yes. Posture Reminder AI is designed so your posture data stays on your Mac.

• No cloud processing: posture analysis runs locally on your device.
• No recording: the app does not store or upload photos or video.
• No data resale: your posture data is used only to personalize reminders for you.

The camera is used only for live posture detection, similar to a coach watching your posture in real time without keeping a recording.

You can enable Launch at Login inside the app.

1. Open Posture Reminder AI.
2. Go to Settings.
3. Turn on Launch at Login.

After that, Posture Reminder AI opens automatically in the background whenever you sign in to your Mac.

This is usually a camera permission issue.

1. Open the Settings app on your Mac.
2. Go to Privacy & Security > Camera.
3. Make sure Posture Reminder AI is allowed to access your camera.
4. Quit and reopen the app.

If the selected camera is disconnected or already in use by another app, reconnect it or choose a different camera in Posture Reminder AI settings.

You can choose how often Posture Reminder AI reminds you after it detects posture drift.

Open Posture Reminder AI > Settings, choose your reminder interval, then restart the app to apply the change.

If you are just getting started, use a shorter interval. Once better posture feels more automatic, move to a longer interval.

Yes. Posture Reminder AI works with an external monitor setup as long as a camera can see you.

You can use your Mac's built-in camera, an external webcam, or a supported iPhone camera in Settings.

After switching cameras, restart the app so the new camera is used for posture tracking.

The camera is how Posture Reminder AI tells the difference between your upright posture and the slump you want it to catch.

• Private on-device processing: posture analysis runs locally on your Mac.
• No recording: the app does not store or upload photos or video of you.
• Real-time reminders: once setup is complete, the app can alert you as soon as your posture drifts.

Without a camera view, the app has no signal to measure your posture.

Posture Reminder AI uses on-device computer vision and a personalized model built from the setup examples you record.

During setup, you capture your natural upright posture and the slump you want the app to catch.

After that, the app monitors posture in real time on your Mac and sends a reminder when it detects that same drift.

For a technical overview, read how Posture Reminder AI works.

Reset your posture setup after any change that affects how you look on camera.

• You switched from the built-in camera to an external webcam or iPhone camera.
• You moved desks, changed monitor height, or switched between sitting and standing.
• The app suddenly starts missing reminders or treating upright posture as slouching.

Setup takes about a minute and usually restores accurate reminders.

To use Posture Reminder AI on Mac, you need:

• A Mac running the latest macOS Tahoe release or newer.
• A built-in camera, external webcam, or supported iPhone camera through Continuity Camera.

For the most consistent posture tracking, keep your camera angle and desk setup steady after setup.

Yes. Posture Reminder AI is currently available only on Mac.

There is no Windows, iPhone, or Android version today.

The app is built specifically for macOS and uses Apple's on-device machine learning frameworks to analyze posture privately on your Mac. If you want support for another platform, contact us.
