Ten squats, counted on your Mac.
Each counted rep clicks
Next break in 50:00. The countdown restarts automatically.
One complete break, start to finish
The full-screen break stays visible until you finish ten squats, complete a timed break, or use an exit.
Apple Vision tracks your hips and knees through the camera. Half squats and bouncing do not count.
Frames become a rep count in memory on your Mac. They are not saved or uploaded.
The count, the next instruction, and your camera framing stay visible while you move.

One break, start to finish
01 · THE COUNTDOWN
Unsittable lives in the menu bar and counts down to your next break. Fifty minutes by default, adjustable in Settings.
You can pause breaks for an hour or until tomorrow. Once a break is due, it starts.
Menu bar · 49:58 to break
02 · THE MOVEMENT
The camera opens and Apple Vision tracks your hips and knees. A rep counts when your hips drop low enough and come back up. Half squats and bouncing do not count.
Face the camera or stand side-on. If a rep does not count, the screen tells you why.
Hips below knees · rep 4 counted
03 · BACK TO WORK
Your screen returns exactly where you left it. No summary, no streak, no share button.
The next countdown starts automatically.
Next break in 50:00
You control when breaks are active, and camera problems never trap you.
Privacy
Camera frames go through Apple Vision on your Mac and become a rep count. They are never uploaded, written to disk, or used for training.
The app has no account, analytics, or telemetry. Network access is limited to license activation, manual validation, and optional update checks. Camera frames and movement data never leave your Mac.
Safety
An app that can lock you out because of a camera glitch is a bug, not discipline. Every break state has a way out.
One button swaps squats for a plain countdown. It is available from every camera screen.
Every break has a maximum length. When it passes, the overlay closes on its own.
Hold the corner control for 2.5 seconds to end the break right away.
The keyboard exit works in every break state, even if the pointer is unavailable.
Questions
No. Camera frames are analyzed in memory by Apple Vision and discarded. Nothing is recorded or saved. Network access is limited to license activation, manual validation, and optional update checks, never camera data.
The break falls back to a plain timed countdown. Denied permission, a busy camera, or a frozen feed all lead to the timer rather than trapping you behind the overlay.
If another app is using the camera when a break starts, Unsittable does not fight it. The break runs as a timed countdown instead. You can also pause breaks for an hour before an important call.
Facing the camera works best and is the recommended setup. Standing side-on is supported too: tracking locks onto your most visible leg and uses hip movement to count.
Use the timed break. It is a full option, not a penalty. Lower-impact movements are planned but not in the app yet.
Use Unsittable free for 3 days. After that a key costs $19 once and activates up to 3 Macs. No subscription and no account.
