Notice it. Reset. See your day.

01 / The drift

Posture does not collapse all at once.

It creeps in over a few hours at the desk, a little forward, a little rounded, until you look up and you're already hunched.

02 / The cue

Cue notices the change and keeps it small.

The dot moves from calm to pay-attention, then gets out of your way when you come back to baseline.

03 / The pattern

After one session, you can see what happened.

A clear record of the desk day you actually had, with the patterns named and nothing to study.

Why a coach

Feedback while you work.

Your desk setup matters. Cue adds something different: a reminder when your position changes from the baseline you chose. Keep your attention on the work, with a small cue when it is time to reset.

A baseline that is yours

Set a comfortable position at your desk. Cue looks for changes in your head, shoulders, and distance from the camera.

It nudges instead of nagging

A small dot changes color as your position drifts. Return to your baseline and it settles. Pause tracking whenever you need to.

It remembers your day

Review your scores, hourly patterns, and milestones. Your recorded sessions give you something concrete to reflect on.

Your camera feed never leaves your computer.

Cue uses the live webcam view on your computer to estimate posture locally. It does not store photos, save videos, or upload your camera feed.

Video uploadNo

Cue does not upload your camera feed.

Saved media0

No photos, videos, or camera recordings are saved by Cue.

Camera processingLocal

Posture checks happen on your computer from the live camera view.

One work session

Install it. Set your baseline. Work normally.

Cue is intentionally narrow: webcam-based, local, and quiet enough to leave in the background while you work.

The questions a webcam app should answer.

Will Cue actually fix my posture?

Cue is a reminder to notice your position and make your own adjustment. It compares webcam landmarks with your baseline and shows a dot and recorded scores. It does not guarantee lasting posture changes, diagnose a condition, or replace professional advice.

Does my camera feed ever leave my computer?

No. Camera frames are processed on your computer and are not recorded or uploaded. Numeric posture history is saved locally. Account services receive sign-in and device/license details plus daily tracked-time totals and related metadata. Optional feedback and website analytics are described on the Privacy page.

Why does my computer warn me about the download?

Windows may warn about a newer or unfamiliar download. Use the release details on the Windows download page to check the publisher and checksum. If the signature or download does not match, stop and contact support. A warning is a reason to verify the file, not to ignore it.

Does it work at night or in low light?

Cue includes low-light adjustments, but a clear view of your head and shoulders matters. Dim lighting, backlighting, clothing, and camera placement can affect detection. Try your usual setup with the free download; add light if tracking becomes unreliable.

Does it work at a standing desk?

Yes. Cue scores you against the baseline you set, not against some ideal chair position. Sit, stand, switch halfway through the day. Just re-capture your baseline when you change setups.

Will it slow my computer down or drain my battery?

Cue runs pose detection locally, so it uses processor time and keeps the webcam in use while tracking. Performance modes reduce how often it checks, and Battery Saver can activate when unplugged. Usage varies by computer and lighting. Try the free version on your hardware, and Pause to release the webcam.

What does it cost?

Cue has a free download with no card required. Pro is designed for unlimited daily tracking. The Pricing page shows the current free allowance, paid-plan availability, billing periods, and any one-time offer before you choose.

What do I need to run it?

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), a compatible webcam with a clear view of your head and shoulders, and an email address for activation. Camera permissions and available computer resources affect setup. Start free to check compatibility before buying.

Are Mac and Linux coming?

They are planned, but public installers are not available yet. Cue is available for Windows today. Do not buy it for a Mac or Linux computer until that platform's download is released.

Can I use Cue during a video call?

Some webcams and camera drivers cannot be shared between apps. If your meeting app cannot open the camera, Pause Cue before the call and resume afterwards. Pausing releases Cue's camera connection.

Why is my webcam light on?

Cue needs the webcam while checking posture. The light can stay on while tracking or waiting for you to return. Click Pause or quit Cue to release the camera. An active camera light does not mean Cue is recording or uploading video.
