## What is KeenLite for Trichotillomania?

HabitAware brings our award-winning awareness tracker for Trichotillomania (hair pulling), Dermatillomania (skin picking), and Onychophagia (nail biting), to the Apple Watch!

Using 1-hour awareness training sessions, KeenLite makes you aware of the behavior you select from our exclusive gesture library of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, like hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania) and nail biting (onychophagia).

Use these sessions  when you need them (common trigger times for people with body-focused repetitive awareness include work, studying, relaxing, and getting ready) or like “gym” training. Aim for at least three sessions a day, because the more you exercise awareness, the stronger it gets!

After awareness, KeenLite prompts you to log your “redirections. These are the healthy ways that you redirect to self-soothe. The most important part of un-learning your unwanted behavior is learning a new one! KeenLite stores your vibration and your redirection data on the phone app, so that you can track your progress.

HabitAware KeenLite offers a one-week free trial, to initiate awareness training sessions for 7 days. With awareness, you have the power to redirect to healthier strategies and create lasting life change.

KeenLite is designed to fit Apple Watch's closed development system, which limits access to the sensors needed for full behavior monitoring. For 24/7 gesture detection please check out the HabitAware Keen2 smart bracelet.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-11-22*

I downloaded this app to give me a trial of what it’s like to have the bracelet. I got it for skin picking in particular my face. The buzz is so gentle that I don’t even notice that is buzzing. And when it does, it’s only doing it when I have my hands down on my knee around my thigh and away from my face.

### 1/5 — Alerts anytime you raise your hand at all

*2024-10-24*

This was a pointless app. Anytime I raised  my hands at all it triggered, even if I wasn’t doing my activity, which was really annoying and defeated the whole purpose of the app. Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Best thing ever!

*2024-04-11*

This app is easy to use and the bracelet notifies me every time with vibration. I get false alarms but those are great too cuz they remind me where my hands are. I use it when I’m know I’m gonna start picking and pulling such as working at my desk or watching tv.

### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2024-04-11*

This is life changing! I have biting my nails for as long as I can remember. KeenLite’s subtle reminder is all I need to change my mindset! Amazing app!

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2024-03-05*

This app comes with different pre-trained gestures and I was able to find my behavior of reaching for the back of my head. It’s working great!
