lifestyle
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 mouth or nails
- The app interrupts the nail biting habit before it happens by showing pop-up notifications when it detects the behavior starting
- Your brain learns to recognize the nail biting pattern over time as the app consistently catches you in the act and breaks the cycle
- Everything runs directly on your computer so your personal habits and data stay private without being uploaded anywhere
- The real-time detection helps you become aware of unconscious nail biting that you normally wouldn't notice until it's already happening
