Blink rate test
See whether focused screen work is quietly suppressing your blink rate. Works with your phone camera, laptop camera, or webcam. It runs entirely in your browser and the camera feed never leaves your device.
Prop your phone at desk height for front checks, or turn it sideways for side-view posture scans. Same test, same URL, no app.
Open phone linkWhat this test measures
This check reads your blinks / min from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (12-15). The model maps the joints involved and averages the angle so a single fidget doesn't skew your result.
How to read your result
Green means you're inside the healthy range. Amber means you're drifting and it's worth a small adjustment. Coral means the angle is past the comfort line for long enough to cause strain. Your number updates live, so you can watch a fix land in real time.
What to fix first
- Adjust the one input driving the biggest signal — screen height, chair depth or input distance.
- Re-run the test and watch the meter move before you change anything else.
- Set a reminder so the corrected posture becomes the default, not the exception.
When to use WorkPose Pro
One test reads one signal. If you want this checked continuously — combined with posture, eye strain and fatigue, with live nudges and a progress history — that's what Pro does. It turns a one-off number into a habit that holds.
How this facial check works
- The facial model watches eye landmarks and tracks closure over time instead of judging from a single frame.
- Long blinks are separated from normal blinking so focused work is not mislabeled as fatigue.
- The test is facial-only and is useful as a quick screen-work check before choosing a larger posture scan.
How to use your result
- Blink rhythm: if your blink pattern is low during focused work, use a short eye break before your eyes feel dry.
- Long blinks: repeated long closures are a stronger signal than low blink rate alone.
- Normal result: keep working, but rerun the check during a longer session if eye strain appears later.
Why blink rate matters
People often blink less when they concentrate on a screen. That can make eyes feel dry or strained even when the person is mentally focused.
How WorkPose uses it
WorkPose can use blink behavior to time smart eye-break nudges during work sessions, without turning every focused coding session into a fatigue warning.
What to try next
- Take a short blink break.
- Use the 20-20-20 rule.
- Increase text size before leaning in.
- Run a full posture scan if eye strain pairs with head or shoulder drift.
