Hands Off is a desktop application designed to help users overcome body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like nail biting, skin picking, and hair pulling through real-time AI detection and interruption. The app runs in the background using a webcam to monitor hand movements and instantly alerts users when they begin unconscious habits, helping retrain the brain over time.
Key features include:
- Real-time AI detection - Uses webcam monitoring to detect nail biting, skin picking, and other BFRBs as they happen
- Instant interruption - Provides immediate full-screen alerts to stop habits before they cause damage
- Complete privacy - All processing happens locally on the device with no video recording or data sharing
- Multi-habit support - Works with 5 common BFRBs including nail biting, skin picking, eyebrow/eyelash pulling, ear picking, and nose picking
- Progress tracking - Includes statistics to monitor improvement over time
The app targets individuals struggling with unconscious body-focused repetitive behaviors who want a technology-assisted solution with privacy protection.
