Pull‑Free vs Steady

You touch your face dozens of times an hour without noticing. FaceFence helps you break the habit. Prop up your iPhone, and its front camera watches for the moment your hand drifts toward your face or hair — then gives you an instant buzz so you can catch yourself in real time. Whether you're working through hair-pulling (trichotillomania), skin-picking (dermatillomania), nail-biting, or any body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB), awareness is the first step to change. REAL-TIME DETECTION Powered by Apple's on-device Vision framework, FaceFence tracks your hands and face and alerts you the instant they get too close — a gentle haptic buzz, a sound, and an on-screen flash. 100% PRIVATE All processing happens on your iPhone. Your camera feed is never recorded, stored, or uploaded. Ever. BUILT FOR REAL USE - Prop your phone up facing you while you work, study, scroll, or relax - Adjustable sensitivity to match how close is "too close" - Cooldown control so you're nudged, not nagged - Pause anytime, plus a quick Test button to feel how it works TRACK YOUR PROGRESS - Daily detection counts and trends - Detections-per-hour and total monitoring time - Pull-free streaks and achievements to keep you motivated MADE FOR THE BFRB COMMUNITY - Hair-pulling (trichotillomania) - Skin-picking (dermatillomania) - Nail-biting and cheek-biting - Building awareness of unconscious face-touching and fidgeting A note: FaceFence watches while the app is open with the screen on — prop your phone up facing you and let it keep an eye out. It's a gentle awareness tool, not a medical device. Hands off. Pull-free. FaceFence is your gentle reminder.

Bite your nails? Pick your skin? Pull your hair? You're not alone — millions live with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like skin picking (dermatillomania, excoriation), nail biting (onychophagia), hair pulling (trichotillomania), and lip or cheek biting. Steady is a calm, private companion that helps you soften the pattern — without shame. There are no streaks to lose here and nothing ever resets to zero. Steady never scolds. Awareness counts, resisted urges count, and even noticing after the fact counts — because that is how these patterns actually soften. HOW IT WORKS • Notice the urge — one-tap logging keeps you aware • Meet it with a plan — a short competing response or guided decoupling exercise • Watch the pattern ease over weeks — at your pace, without pressure or red warning colors Steady is built on habit-reversal training (HRT) and decoupling, the self-help methods with the strongest research support. FREE FOR EVERYONE • One-tap logging — capture a moment or a resisted urge in seconds • Urge Help — breathing, grounding and competing-response tools for the moment an urge hits • Decoupling training — a short guided motor exercise you can repeat through the day • My Plan — a gentle glide path toward the pace you choose, never a countdown • This week at a glance — your log, your awareness streak, your week • Learn — six short modules on the science of BFRBs, from why they happen to when to seek help, each with its published sources • Soft reminders — a few caring nudges a day at most, fully optional • Home-screen widget that keeps awareness gently in view • Export your log as a spreadsheet to share with a therapist STEADY PLUS — GO DEEPER • Pattern insights — time-of-day patterns, trends over weeks, and quiet observations about your triggers • Smart reminders that learn your risk windows • A clinical PDF report to bring to appointments • Custom tags for your own situations • The Apple Watch companion app PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device.
