Getting started

  1. Open Posture404. A small round badge appears in the bottom right corner of your screen. There is no Dock icon.
  2. Click the badge. The first time, answer a few questions about your screens, allow the camera, and follow the one minute guided setup.
  3. Click the badge again any time to start a 50 minute sprint. Click it during a sprint to see the timer or stop.
  4. Right-click the badge for the menu: Show stats, Move now, Settings and Setup.

Common questions

Is anything recorded?
No. The camera is analysed live and discarded. See the privacy policy.
The border or badge does not show on my second monitor.
Run Setup > Guided setup again and tell it where your second screen is.
It paused by itself.
Posture404 pauses while another app is using the camera and microphone, for example a video call, and says "Turned off, you're in a meeting."
It keeps saying orange when I sit well.
Right-click the badge > Setup > Quick re-center, and sit tall for 8 seconds. If your chair or screen moved a lot, run the guided setup again.
How do I get the gentle voice?
Right-click the badge > Settings > Voice > Set up the Zoe voice, and follow the steps. It uses Zoe (Enhanced), a free Apple voice. Then choose "Voice advice + border" in Settings.
The camera permission was refused.
Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera and switch Posture404 on, then click the badge again.

Claude Code (optional)

If you use Claude Code, three small hooks let Posture404 give a break prompt when a long run is going. Add them to the hooks section of ~/.claude/settings.json (keep any hooks you already have):

"UserPromptSubmit": [{"hooks": [{"type": "command", "timeout": 5,
  "command": "notifyutil -p com.spike.posturespike.run-start >/dev/null 2>&1; exit 0"}]}],
"Stop": [{"hooks": [{"type": "command", "timeout": 5,
  "command": "notifyutil -p com.spike.posturespike.run-end >/dev/null 2>&1; exit 0"}]}],
"Notification": [{"hooks": [{"type": "command", "timeout": 5,
  "command": "notifyutil -p com.spike.posturespike.needs-you >/dev/null 2>&1; exit 0"}]}]

Each hook sends an empty signal on your Mac. No prompt text leaves Claude Code.

Removing Posture404

Quit it from the badge's right-click menu and drag it to the Trash. That removes its data too.
