BitingOff

What it does

BitingOff is a private nail-biting app for macOS with on-device detection, instant alerts, and progress tracking to help you stop biting nails while you work.

BitingOff is a private nail-biting app for macOS that combines real-time detection, instant interruption, and progress tracking. Built for people searching how to stop nail biting with practical, immediate cues instead of passive reminders. Advanced machine learning models analyze facial movements in real-time to detect nail-biting behavior before it happens. Get immediate audio notifications and visual warnings the moment the app detects hand-to-mouth movement patterns. Option to temporarily freeze your screen when nail-biting is detected, forcing you to become aware of the habit. All processing happens locally on your device. No video leaves your computer. No cloud storage. Ever. Track…from bitingoff.com

  Stop nail-biting with your MacBook's webcam2023 · handsdown.kianpak.com · ▲21

  Hey HN! I made this app because I bite my nails way too much while I code It uses Mac's Vision library to track the location of your hands and mouth via the webcam. Then when it catches you biting, it temporarily covers your screen with a big obnoxious warning. You have to stop biting if you want to continue seeing anything. It's helped me a lot, so I hope it can help other nail-biters here :)

  I recently switched from hybrid home office to being fully remote. I realized I'd developed a new habit: biting my nails, something I never did in the office. I've built a small utility app that lives in your macOS menu bar and uses the webcam to detect when you start biting your nails or touching your face. All processing happens on-device, and no data ever leaves it. Detection's frames per second and some overlay styles can be customized.

  I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
