Hands Off is a desktop app that intercepts nail biting, skin picking, and other BFRBs in real time. It runs locally on your device, pops up when your hands get near your face, and gradually retrains your brain. All without sending data to the cloud.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Hands Off watches your hand movements through your computer's camera and alerts you the moment your fingers start moving toward your face or mouth
- The app creates an immediate interruption by showing a pop-up notification right when you're about to pick, helping you catch the habit before it happens
- Real-time detection means you get instant feedback instead of trying to remember hours later that you were picking your skin
- The system works by training your brain to recognize the picking motion early, so over time you naturally stop yourself without needing the app
- Everything runs directly on your computer so your movements stay private while still getting the real-time detection you need to break the habit
