“I love Awaira. It increases my awareness of my hand and arm moving toward my head. I have noticed that I am less aware than I thought I was.”

FAQ

What Awaira is—
and what it isn’t.

The practical details, before you decide whether it belongs in your day.

What exactly is Awaira?

Awaira is a desktop awareness app. With your permission, it uses your computer’s camera to notice when a hand moves into your face or head area. It can offer a cue you choose—such as a sound, screen border, or blur—so an automatic moment is easier to notice.

What does Awaira notice—and what does it not know?

Awaira notices a hand entering your face or head area. It cannot know why: a moment may be a scratch, adjusting glasses, resting your chin, touching your hair, or something else. A cue is an invitation to notice, not a judgment or a label.

What happens after Awaira notices a moment?

Awaira can show a subtle screen border, play a sound, or add a timed blur. You choose which cues to use and can set their delay, pause monitoring for a meeting, or turn cues off entirely.

Does Awaira record or upload camera video?

No. Camera frames are analysed live on your device and discarded immediately. They are not recorded, uploaded, or sent to Awaira’s servers. Optional screenshots are off by default; if enabled, they stay saved locally on your computer.

Where do my moments and progress stay?

Your detections, progress history, and any optional screenshots stay on your own computer. They are not sent to a cloud account or shared with Awaira.

Is Awaira a medical or diagnostic tool?

No. Awaira is a wellness and awareness tool. It does not diagnose, treat, or make conclusions about any health condition.

Which computers can run Awaira?

Awaira runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. On Mac it supports macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon and Intel computers.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. The full app starts with a 7-day free trial, with no account or credit card required. After the trial, monthly, yearly, and lifetime options are available.

Awaira on Linux

Ubuntu 24.04+ or Debian 13+ (.deb). Paste into your terminal:

Install

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y curl && curl -fL 'https://awaira.app/api/download?platform=linux' -o ~/awaira.deb && sudo apt-get install -y ~/awaira.deb

Always downloads the latest Linux release. On older releases such as Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04 the install stops with unmet dependencies — those versions ship the pre-t64 system libraries this build needs.

Uninstall

sudo apt-get purge -y awaira && rm -f ~/awaira.deb

Removes the app and the downloaded package. Your settings in your home folder are left alone.
