Abuela
21d agoYour grandma now lives in the MacBook notch. She has opinions about how you're sitting. Abuela is a tiny on‑device posture coach for Mac users that watches you through the webcam, offers animated feedback (beams, golden shake, red flush) and provides a posture dashboard with daily charts. All processing stays on the device, with no data collection or networking.

Key Capabilities
01
Camera‑based posture monitoring
Uses the Mac’s built‑in camera to track head‑over‑shoulder alignment, shoulder levelness, forward lean, and head tilt in real time.
02
Personalized calibration
A 3‑second calibration captures the user’s natural sitting posture to set a baseline for alerts.
03
Animated real‑time feedback
Displays grandma‑style reactions—beaming, golden shaking, red flushing—and chimes when slouching is detected.
04
Sustained‑slouch alerts
Triggers alerts only when a slouch is held long enough, ignoring brief lean‑ins while reading code.
05
Posture dashboard with charts
Shows time spent upright, drifting, and slouched for the current session, day, week, and month with trend charts.
06
On‑device privacy
All vision processing runs locally; no account, analytics, or network transmission—camera turns off when the app is paused.
07
Recalibration on demand
Allows the user to recalibrate their baseline with a single click at any time.
08
Mac notch integration
Positions the coach in the MacBook notch and works on other displays as well.
