Developer eye strain check
Check low-blink deep-work patterns without mistaking focus for fatigue. 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 strain index from a short on-device camera scan and compares it against an evidence-based comfort range (< 20). 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 check is tuned for deep screen work where blink rate can fall while attention remains high.
- It separates eye strain risk from possible fatigue so coding focus is not treated as a bad result.
- It can point you toward WorkPose sessions when facial signals and posture drift show up together.
How to use your result
- Developer focus pattern: low blink behavior during concentration is an eye-strain prompt, not a fatigue label.
- Repeated head drops: raise your laptop or editor view before your neck starts carrying the session.
- Long blinks or reset-needed signals: stop the work block and restart with a shorter interval.
Why developers need a different fatigue check
Deep work can reduce blink behavior while attention stays high. A useful desk tool should notice eye strain risk without interrupting every focused session.
How WorkPose helps during real work
Members can run WorkPose sessions while coding to combine facial signals with posture drift, sit-stand reminders, and screen-break nudges.
Simple next steps
- Increase editor font size.
- Use eye breaks between focus blocks.
- Check laptop height if head drops repeat.
- Run a posture scan after a long coding session.
