This is awesome! I have wanted something like this for ages. Can you please also add posture tracking? Rounded shoulders, hunching, leg up, etc. I have ADHD and constantly fidget and get myself in working positions that are definitely not good for me in the long run.

Thanks for the suggestion! I totally agree - my posture gets worse and worse as the time goes by. Hopefully FarSight can be somewhat useful as a reminder to keep your posture straight.

The body posture is much harder to capture, especially if the camera is directly in front of you. But I'll definitely look into this for the future version. Thanks again!

I saw an app a while ago that uses the camera to just track the top of your head, and alerts you if it lowers too much. It's a simple solution that works great for slouching.

It may have been this: https://nekoze.app

Oh that's good to know. Looks like it hasn't been maintained much, sadly. That might be a future feature that I can work on.
