AI Analysis

●MidNiche Gem

Single-feature shoulder surf detector with no depth beyond face detection.

Strengths

•Custom-trained lightweight model runs locally with minimal CPU overhead.
•Multiple alert modes including popup, notification, or custom app launch.

Weaknesses

•One-trick utility with no extensibility beyond the core detection feature.
•Privacy screen filters and webcam covers solve this problem more reliably.

Post Description

I built EyesOff after getting fed up with people glancing at my screen in coffee shops.

I trained a, custom and small, neural network to detect when people look at your screen. Whenever more faces than your allowed threshold are looking at your screen an alert will show. The model being ran locally ensures all data stays on your device - no cloud processing.

I would love feedback on the application and any features you think I should implement!
