Spine Align

Spine Align is a simple menu-bar app that uses your webcam to help prevent hunching over at your computer. It estimates the distance from your face to the screen. When you get too close to the screen, Spine Align will alert you to move back again. All MacBooks and iMacs come with a built in iSight/FaceTime camera which is ideal for monitoring your posture. Nowadays we spend a lot of time working at computers. This can lead to hunching over, particularly when using laptops. The neck has a tendency to extend forwards over time which can lead to neck and back pain. A lot of the time we don’t notice we are even moving forwards. It can be hard work, constantly remembering to reset your posture. Spine Align is here to help! It does the monitoring for you, so you can concentrate on everything else. By monitoring the distance of your face to the screen, it can limit the effects of extending your neck and help to prevent bad posture.
