Open-source wellness companion for screen time

Sit Better. Blink More. Sip Regularly.

SitBlinkSip watches your posture, blinking behavior, and hydration breaks through your webcam while you work, then nudges you when it's time to reset — so healthier habits build themselves.

Three habits. One companion.

Long hours at a screen make it easy to forget your body. SitBlinkSip keeps an eye on three simple things so you don't have to.

Reduced blink rate during screen use is linked to dry-eye symptoms and digital eye strain — see the research.

SitPosture Monitoring

Stay aware of your posture while you work.

SitBlinkSip watches for slouching and leaning through your webcam and lets you know when it's time to sit back up.

BlinkEye Blink Detection

Give your eyes the attention they deserve.

Long focus sessions change how often and how completely we blink. SitBlinkSip keeps track and reminds you when it matters.

SipWater Break Reminders

Stay hydrated while you stay focused.

Deep work makes it easy to forget the basics. Get timely nudges to reach for water and keep hydration on track.

How It Works

Technology that works quietly in the background.

SitBlinkSip helps you do your work without forgetting yourself — here's what actually happens once you hit start.

01

Start working

Open SitBlinkSip before you start your work session.

02

Stay focused

Keep working normally while SitBlinkSip quietly monitors posture, blinking, and time since your last break.

03

Get reminded

Receive a gentle notification when poor posture, prolonged lack of blinking, or a hydration break needs your attention.

04

Build better habits

Develop healthier work routines over time, session after session.

Desktop App

No browser tab. No server. Just the tray icon.

SitBlinkSip Desktop watches your posture, blink rate, and water breaks locally through your webcam, packaged as one native app that runs quietly in the background — nothing to host, nothing to keep open.
