# 📱 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

1. **Camera watches you** - Reachy Mini monitors the camera feed
2. **Phone detected** - YOLOv8 detects when you pick up your phone
3. **Shame delivered** - Robot gives you a snarky comment via TTS
4. **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." |
