About SuperShrimp

SuperShrimp is a desktop application that uses a computer's webcam and on-device artificial intelligence to monitor and analyze user posture in real time. Designed for individuals who spend long hours at a desk, the app provides a live posture score from 0 to 100, alerts users when they slouch, and offers detailed analytics on posture habits over time. The tool runs entirely offline and locally processes all video data, meaning no images are captured or stored externally, and no internet connection is required for posture detection. SuperShrimp is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux, and works with built-in laptop cameras, external USB webcams, and iPhone continuity cameras.

Beyond simple monitoring, SuperShrimp incorporates a gamification system where users earn experience points (XP) for maintaining good posture. These points allow an on-screen shrimp avatar to evolve across ten levels, and a live leaderboard fosters friendly competition among users. The app provides daily and weekly score trends, a split of good versus bad posture time, and non-intrusive notifications that pop up when posture drops. SuperShrimp is available as a one-time payment of $17 (with a future price increase to $29), includes one year of updates, and is licensed for a single device, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. The tool is positioned as a cost-effective alternative to expensive back pain treatments, aiming to help users build healthier sitting habits.
