📱 Judgy Reachy No Phone 🤖
A Reachy Mini app that detects when you pick up your phone and shames you with snarky comments.
Stop checking your phone and get back to work! This app uses computer vision to detect when you pick up your phone and makes Reachy Mini give you a judgmental, snarky comment to shame you back to productivity.
Features
- 📱 Phone Detection: Uses YOLOv8 to detect when you pick up your phone
- 🗣️ Snarky Responses: LLM-generated or pre-written judgmental comments
- 🔊 Text-to-Speech: Robot speaks the shame out loud with expressive voice
- 🤖 Expressive Animations: Different reactions based on offense count
- 📊 Stats Tracking: Pickup count, shame count, longest phone-free streak
- 🎮 Web UI: Gradio interface for monitoring and configuration
How It Works
- Camera watches you - Reachy Mini monitors the camera feed
- Phone detected - YOLOv8 detects when you pick up your phone
- Shame delivered - Robot gives you a snarky comment via TTS
- Robot reacts - Expressive animations get more dramatic with repeat offenses
Robot Reactions
| Offense Count | Animation | Reaction |
|---|---|---|
| 1st pickup | Curious head tilt | "The phone? Already?" |
| 2-3 pickups | Disappointed head shake | "Again?" |
| 4+ pickups | Dramatic sigh, looks away | "I've lost count." |
| Phone down | Approving nod | "Good. Back to work." |
