## What it is
Dorso is a macOS menu bar application that monitors your posture in real time using your Mac's camera or AirPods motion sensors. When it detects slouching, it progressively blurs your screen as a reminder to sit up straight, with all processing done locally on-device.

## Use cases
- remind me to fix my posture while working at my mac
- blur my screen when i slouch
- track posture without using my camera
- monitor head position using airpods motion sensors
- build better sitting habits during long work sessions
- get posture analytics and stats over time

## When to choose
- you want a privacy-focused, fully local posture monitor on macOS
- you prefer camera-free tracking via AirPods motion sensors
- you want a lightweight menu bar app with multi-display support

## When to avoid
- you need posture monitoring on Windows or Linux
- you have no camera or compatible AirPods
- you dislike screen-blur feedback and prefer alerts or notifications
