Stop nail biting for good

Hands Off is a desktop application designed to help individuals overcome body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as nail biting, skin picking, eyebrow or eyelash pulling, ear picking, and nose picking. The tool addresses unconscious habits by using real-time AI to monitor hand movements through the user's webcam, instantly detecting when hands move toward the face and interrupting the behavior with a full-screen alert. This immediate intervention aims to retrain the brain by increasing awareness of these habits, supporting users in breaking them over time.

The application operates locally on Mac and Windows computers, ensuring that all webcam data and behavioral analysis remain private and never leave the user's device. No video is recorded, and the app does not collect, store, or share any personal data or analytics, making it fully GDPR compliant. Users can customize settings for each of the five supported BFRBs, tailoring the detection and interruption features to their specific needs. The tool includes a statistics tracker, allowing users to monitor their progress and observe changes in their habits over time.

Hands Off is intended for people seeking to quit nail biting and other BFRBs, including those who have struggled with these behaviors for years and have not found success with traditional methods. The platform emphasizes privacy and real-time intervention as key advantages over manual tracking or deterrent products. According to the information provided, consistent use of the app can lead to a significant reduction in episodes within the first week for most users.

The service is offered with a three-day free trial, after which a monthly subscription fee is charged. Users can cancel at any time. The tool is positioned as a behavioral intervention solution that leverages AI and local webcam monitoring to provide immediate support in overcoming unwanted habits.
