How it works

Gentle awareness, from the first calibration.

Squintly is designed to stay out of your way. Set it up once, start a session, and keep using your phone the way you always do.

Before you begin: download Squintly from Google Play on your Android phone and allow camera access when asked. The camera is how Squintly notices your expressions.

  1. Calibration

    Make it yours

    Squintly starts by getting to know your face. A short, guided calibration captures how your face looks when it’s relaxed and when it’s expressive, so tracking is tailored to you.

    • Personal to your face
    • Saved on your phone as simple numeric values, not photos
  2. Monitoring

    Start monitoring, then carry on

    Tap to start a session and go back to your day. Squintly keeps running discreetly in the background while you scroll, read, work, game, or switch between apps.

    • Works while you use other apps
    • A persistent notification shows when monitoring is on
    • Camera is used only while a session or calibration is active
  3. Reminders

    Feel a gentle reminder

    When Squintly notices sustained squinting or brow tension, your phone gives a soft vibration. No loud alarm. Just a quiet cue to relax your face.

    • Adjustable sensitivity
    • Adjustable nudge delay and buzz strength
  4. Insights

    See your patterns

    Review your facial-tension activity over time. Eye squinting and brow furrowing are tracked separately, so you can see which shows up more and how things change as your awareness grows.

    • Separate squint and brow tracking
    • Activity trends and progress
    • History stays on your device

Designed with your privacy in mind

Squintly's facial analysis runs on your phone. Camera frames are held in memory only while they're analyzed and are never saved or uploaded. Your calibration, history, and settings stay on your device.
