# 📱 Judgy Reachy No Phone 🤖 - Feel free to shame yourself and others!

**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 YOLO26n 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** - YOLO26n 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

## Usage

### Start Reachy Mini Daemon

Make sure your reachy-mini-daemon is running please check [Reachy Mini Quickstart](https://github.com/pollen-robotics/reachy_mini/blob/develop/docs/SDK/quickstart.md) to know how to run:
- Simulation vs. Lite vs. Wireless
- MacOS vs. Windows/Linux

### Launch the App

The app will automatically detect if you're in simulation mode and use the appropriate camera:
- **Simulation mode**: Uses your laptop webcam
- **Real robot**: Uses robot's camera

Access the web UI at **http://localhost:8042**

## Configuration

### Settings (via Web UI)

- **Groq API Key**: Optional, for LLM-generated responses
- **ElevenLabs API Key**: Optional, for premium TTS voice
- **Cooldown**: Time between shames (10-120 seconds)
- **Praise Mode**: Enable/disable praise when phone is put down

### Pre-written Snarky Lines

The app includes 20+ pre-written responses with personalities that work without any API.

## Stats Tracked

- **Pickups Today**: Count of phone pickups in current session
- **Current Streak**: Current period without phone pickup
- **Best Streak**: Longest period without phone pickup

## Technical Details

- **Detection**: YOLO26 nano model for fast inference
- **Phone Class ID**: COCO dataset class 67 ("cell phone")
- **Camera Capture**: ~100 FPS max (0.01s sleep)
- **Detection Rate**: Every 3rd frame (~33 FPS)
- **Detection Threshold**: 3 consecutive frames to confirm pickup
- **Putdown Threshold**: 15 frames to confirm phone down (avoids flicker)

## Requirements

- Reachy Mini robot with camera
- Python 3.10+
- Internet connection (for first-time YOLO model download, LLM, and TTS)
