What Slouch Sniper is
Slouch Sniper is built by Karol Kłusek. It "uses your webcam and on-device AI to detect your posture in real-time", and his own line says it "helps fix forward-head posture". It learns your neutral posture when you first start. You can adjust how sensitive it is, how much the screen dims and its quiet hours. It runs on Windows and on Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and newer); its site says Intel Mac and mobile support are still in progress.1
On Setapp, a subscription service for Mac apps, Slouch Sniper had a score of 85% from 40 ratings on 8 November 2026. Slouch Sniper's own site quotes six users, one of whom says "Not annoying at all, just a subtle reminder."1,4
A dim screen or a glow
When you slouch, Slouch Sniper "gently dims your screen as a subtle reminder to sit up straight. The moment you sit tall again, the screen returns to normal."1
Poxture App waits a little before it nudges. It checks once a minute. When you've been looking down or slouching for about half a minute, by default, a soft glow at the top of the screen tells you. A card shows how to fix it, so you know what was wrong as well as that something was.
Price and free trial
On 8 November 2026 Slouch Sniper's site offered a "$19 one-time purchase for a lifetime license", with no subscription. The free trial is 7 days on Mac, starting when you create your account in the app, and 3 days on Windows. Setapp also sells it as a subscription, from $4.99 a month for the app alone. Its refund policy takes requests within 30 days of purchase.1,3,4
Poxture App is free to use: the first hour of each day is free for good, and for your first 14 days every feature works all day, with no card needed. $19 once keeps it on all day, with a full refund within 14 days, no questions.
Privacy
Slouch Sniper says "Posture detection runs on your device. Live video is never streamed or recorded." It also has optional photo sharing: "No photos leave your computer unless you choose to share them", and sharing is off unless you turn it on. Its privacy policy covers account, purchase, device, usage and diagnostic data, and cookies for analytics and marketing.1,2
Poxture App has no photo feature to turn on. It never saves, sends or shows a camera picture, and camera images never leave your Mac. 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 lists every item.
