Stop nail biting automatically with AI-powered detection
Hands Off is an AI-powered desktop app that helps you stop nail biting by monitoring your webcam in real-time. When the app detects you're biting your nails, it instantly shows a screen overlay that interrupts the habit, stopping nail biting before it becomes automatic.
Why traditional nail biting solutions don't work
If you've tried to stop nail biting before, you know the struggle. Bitter nail polish wears off or you bite through it anyway. Nail polish chips and looks bad on bitten nails. Fidget toys only work if you remember to grab them. Habit tracking apps require you to manually log each time, but by then, the damage is already done.
The real problem? Nail biting happens unconsciously. Your hands move to your mouth during moments of stress, focus, boredom, or anxiety before your brain even registers what's happening. You can't stop an unconscious habit with solutions that require conscious effort.
How Hands Off stops unconscious nail biting
Hands Off uses AI to watch for nail biting when you can't. The app monitors your webcam and detects hand-to-face movements in real-time. The moment you start biting your nails, Hands Off displays an immediate screen overlay that interrupts your workflow and stops the habit instantly.
It's like having someone watch over your shoulder all day, except it's completely private, never judges, and works automatically without any effort from you.
Why Hands Off actually works
Hands Off was created by Lennert Soffers, a chronic nail biter who spent years trying every solution on the market. After countless failed attempts with bitter polish, fidget toys, and habit trackers, he realized what was missing: automatic detection during unconscious moments.
You can stay focused on quitting nail biting for a few days or weeks, but the moment work gets stressful or life gets busy, you forget your plan and find your nails bitten again. Hands Off removes the need to stay focused on your habit. It automatically catches you every single time, especially during those vulnerable moments when willpower fails.
Complete privacy: everything stays on your computer
Hands Off processes your webcam feed entirely on your device using local AI. No video, images, or personal data is ever uploaded or transmitted. Your internet connection is only used for occasional authentication checks. You get powerful nail biting detection with zero privacy concerns.
