Free means free
An hour of AI posture monitoring every day, permanently, no card required. Enough to cover your longest daily study block and build the habit before you spend anything.
Posture app for students
Study long. Sit like you'll graduate.
Student posture is desk-worker posture on hard mode: laptop on a dorm desk, library chairs designed by someone who hates you, cram sessions that run past midnight. SitApp uses your laptop's webcam and on-device AI to catch the study slump as it happens - and the free tier is actually free, because we remember the budget.

The problem
The numbers from campus are rough
Studies of student populations keep finding pain rates that would alarm an occupational health department:
How SitApp helps
Built for the way students actually work.
Calibrated to wherever you study
Separate calibration profiles per study spot, because your posture baseline at a proper desk and in the library are different problems. Keeping several saved at once is a Pro feature - the free hour works anywhere, one saved setup at a time.
Private enough for shared housing
Everything runs on-device. No images leave your laptop, nothing is uploaded, and it works offline - what your webcam sees in your room stays in your room.
Streaks that outlast motivation
Daily streaks and achievement levels do for posture what your language-app owl does for vocabulary - minus the passive aggression. Mostly.
Platforms
Whatever's in your backpack, it runs.
macOS
Direct download or Mac App Store, Intel and Apple Silicon - the campus default, covered.
Windows
Code-signed installer for Windows 10+. Works on the sensible mid-range laptop you actually bought.
Linux
Native .deb and AppImage, for the CS students who installed Arch in week two.
FAQ
Questions students ask us.
Is it actually free, or free-trial free?
Actually free: one hour of monitoring per day, forever, no credit card. Pro ($3.99/month or $34.99/year) removes the daily cap, but the free tier doesn't expire and doesn't nag you into upgrading.
I study in different places every day. Does that break it?
No - it's designed for exactly that. You can calibrate posture profiles for your dorm desk, the library, and wherever else you set up. Keeping several saved at once (up to 5) is part of Pro.
Is the webcam feed private? I live with roommates.
Completely. All detection happens on your laptop - no images or video are stored, uploaded, or visible to anyone, including us. It also runs offline, so it works in a dead-wifi lecture hall too.
Will it run on an older laptop?
SitApp needs about 700MB of disk space and a working webcam, and runs on macOS 12+, Windows 10+, and most modern Linux distros. On older hardware the on-device AI uses noticeable CPU - the free tier is a zero-cost way to find out how it behaves on your machine.
