What's new in SitApp

A history of features, improvements, and fixes shipped to the posture Droid.

v8.1.1 - April 27, 2026

New

• New toggle in Settings → Alerts lets you turn off the "Not slouching?" prompt during long alerts.

Improved

• Slouch calibration now asks for the kind of slouch you'd want the Droid to catch, helping it learn your real-world posture.
• The webcam selector is available during onboarding for everyone, even with a single camera.
• Streaks now stay visible through brief connection hiccups instead of momentarily blanking.

Fixed

• The slouch warning preview shows your active camera, even when it's not the system default.
• The warning window's corner hint sits in a consistent spot whether the warning appears at the top or bottom of your screen.
• Streaks and session time correctly pause when the Droid loses sight of you, so unmonitored time no longer counts toward your goals.
• New users see the corner preview during the onboarding demo right after granting camera permission.

v8.0 - April 27, 2026

New

• The daily share card got a redesign. The Droid now reports back like a field dispatch, calling out exactly how many minutes you slouched today with a bit of personality.

Improved

• Syncing is faster and more reliable across the board, with smoother offline recovery when your connection drops.

Fixed

• The app now stays connected on corporate networks where strict proxies used to interrupt syncing.
• Social sign-ins reliably return to the right window, even on machines that still have older versions of the app installed.
• The app quietly heals itself if its local cache ever gets into a bad state, so a manual restart is no longer needed.

v7.9 - April 24, 2026

Improved

• Posture detection runs on a faster, more accurate pose model.
• Multi-desk setups now keep each location's calibration accurate when you switch between them.
• Drift detection picks up faster when you move to a clearly different spot.

Fixed

• The menu bar icon now self-heals if it ever disappears after your Mac wakes from sleep.

v7.7 - April 19, 2026

Improved

• Posture detection tracks more naturally now, with smoother motion and less jitter when you're moving around.
• The Droid is more reliable on machines where another app is using the same internal port - sounds and previews always load correctly.

Fixed

• Windows updates now recover gracefully when leftover files from a previous update are in the way.

v7.5 - April 18, 2026

New

• Setup drift detection: when your camera angle, lighting, or clothing changes mid-session, the Droid notices and pauses alerts until you recalibrate, so you don't get false warnings.
• Monitoring reminders: get a gentle nudge during your working hours if monitoring is off, so you don't go a whole day without it after restarting.

Improved

• Clicking a toast notification no longer pulls the main window forward and steals focus from whatever you were working on.

Fixed

• Windows startup is now more reliable, with clear messaging if something goes wrong instead of a stuck loading spinner.
• Your sign-in stays put across upgrades on Windows, so you won't get unexpectedly signed out.
• Dismissing the upcoming-break warning now works cleanly without affecting your next scheduled break.
• Display configuration changes on Windows, like plugging in a monitor or adjusting DPI, are now handled smoothly.

v7.4 - April 10, 2026

New

Fixed

• The warning screen no longer appears after you pause monitoring.

v7.3 - April 8, 2026

New

• A local automation API lets external scripts start and stop tracking, pull session stats, and expose Prometheus-style metrics for monitoring dashboards.
• New launch options to auto-start tracking and export your session summary to a JSON file when SitApp quits.
• SitApp now records a detailed history of your posture readings on your machine, so you can look back at trends over time.
• A new readings endpoint lets you query that history by time range, with sessions and breaks included.

Improved

• The false-positive toast handles clicks more reliably, with cleaner hover and dismiss behavior.

Fixed

• The tray icon updates more safely in the background, even during shutdown.
• Unmaximizing the main window is now smooth on Linux desktops like KDE Plasma.

v7.2.0 - April 3, 2026

New

• A new Posture Split chart on the dashboard shows your good and bad posture time at a glance.
• A new Score Trend chart tracks your posture score over time, with an average reference line.

Fixed

• Streaks now increment day after day instead of resetting back to Day 1.
• Posture detection recovers more reliably after your computer wakes from sleep or the camera stream briefly stalls.
• The break overlay now stays on top reliably across every break, and the app shuts down more gracefully on Windows when an alert is firing.

New

• Pick which speaker or headphones play your alert sounds in Settings > Alert Audio.

• The "Not slouching?" prompt now appears faster, and the Droid is more careful to keep real slouches in memory when you correct it.
• Manual update checks are available from Settings, and update notices appear on every initial screen so you never miss one.

Fixed

• Updates on macOS now install reliably the first time, and window rendering on Windows is smoother when dragging across monitors.

New

• Webcam selection in Settings moved inline with a click-to-activate preview, so your camera light stays off until you ask for it.
