I made a small VS Code extension for developers who forget to move for hours (aka: me).

PostureLoop gives posture/break reminders only when they won’t interrupt you.
It watches your typing + editor activity to tell whether you’re in deep work or idle, and adapts the timing automatically.

This is a demo of a product or project that isn't on-topic for r/programming. r/programming is a technical subreddit and isn't a place to show off your project or to solicit feedback.
If this is an ad for a product, it's simply not welcome here.
If it is a project that you made, the submission must focus on what makes it technically interesting and not simply what the project does or that you are the author. Simply linking to a github repo is not sufficient

So if you're in deep work outside your IDE, it just interrupts?

It only tracks activity inside Code, so if you’re deep in work elsewhere. it wont interupts..
I’m thinking about building a small desktop companion app later.
That one would be allowed to watch system-level activity (keyboard/mouse across apps), so it could time reminders based on your actual workflow instead of just the editor

I really don't get stuff like this, you need a few hours of work to get anything done, you can't be interrupted every hour

when I’m deep in something, I don’t want anything popping up every 30–60 minutes either.
That’s actually why I built this the way I did.
The reminders don’t fire during deep work, the extension watches keyboard/editor activity and delays anything until you slow down or go idle. So if you’re in a multi-hour flow session, it stays quiet.
It’s more for the moments between sessions, not the middle of one.
