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
- Catches you in the moment when your hands move toward your face, breaking the automatic pattern before it becomes a full habit
- Uses real-time feedback to make you aware of unconscious movements, which is the first step in changing any repetitive behavior
- Creates new neural pathways by consistently interrupting the old behavior loop, helping your brain form healthier responses over time
- Works gradually to retrain your mind without overwhelming you, making the change process feel natural rather than forced
- Keeps your personal data private while you work on changing these behaviors, so you can focus on healing without privacy concerns
