Brrrrr
Read full descriptionHide full description
Brrrrr is a lightweight app that helps you notice hand‑to‑face touches in real time. When you’re working, it watches for hands near your face and gives a gentle alert so you can build awareness and break the habit. How it works: - Start monitoring from the menu bar. - See a live preview (normal or dots) and a status indicator: no touch / maybe / touching. - Choose your alert style: sound, screen blink, or both. - Tune cooldown, volume, and flash intensity. - Adjust processing rate to balance speed and battery life. Private by design: - Camera frames are processed on‑device. - No photos or video are recorded or stored. - No microphone access. - No tracking or analytics. Brrrrr is a general wellness / awareness tool and is not a medical device.
