It uses your webcam to check how you sit, in real time, on your own computer. Its home page lists your head pushing forward (it calls this turtle neck), your chin resting on your hand, shoulder tilt, a rounded back, how close you sit to the screen, uneven shoulders and head tilt (its guide page lists six, without head tilt). You set it up by sitting the way you usually sit for 5 seconds, and that becomes your baseline. It also has break reminders at 30, 50 and 120 minutes, daily statistics and a low-power mode.[1,2] ## Move often, or fix the habit BaroSit says it does not force perfect alignment. It sits in the tray and sends a desktop notification when your posture stays off for long, so you shift position. A small floating bar shows your posture score. If you want a stronger nudge, you can pick a glow at the screen edge, a pop-up in the middle of the screen, a widget that grows for a moment, or a sound.[1,2] Poxture App works from a different idea: a good posture is one you can hold for a long time without strain. When you have been looking down or slouching for about 30 seconds, by default, a soft glow grows at the top of your screen and a card names the habit and shows how to fix it. When you sit right again, the glow turns green, so you know you fixed it. It checks [eight habits](https://poxture.com/guides), including looking down, sitting still too long and not working from a proper desk setup. ## Free now, priced later BaroSit is a free beta today, and during the beta you sign in on its site to download the desktop app. The site's own code describes the plans after the official launch: a free plan for the web browser only, and Pro, for the desktop app, at ₩4,900 a month or ₩36,000 a year, VAT included and renewing on its own.

There is no subscription. ## Privacy BaroSit says all posture analysis happens on your device, and webcam video is never stored or sent. Its privacy policy says it never collects camera frames, photos or recordings. If you sign in and sync, it stores your email or social login, a nickname, your posture event history, daily scores and settings in a cloud database in Seoul. An anonymous install ID and crash reports are optional. Its settings also offer a silhouette mode that shows "only an outline instead of the video", so the app can show your camera picture on screen. Its pages don't say which one is the default.[1,2,4] Poxture App has no account to sync: your activation key comes by email. Its camera images never leave your Mac, and it never saves or shows a camera picture. Poxture App sends usage counts with a random install number and, once a day, rounded posture scores with no install number, and supporters can turn both off in Settings. The [privacy page](https://poxture.com/privacy/app) lists all of it. ## Where they run BaroSit has a Mac app for macOS 12 Monterey or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel, which you download from its site after signing in.
