Movement toward head or face, mid-session
A hand lifts from the desk, the keyboard, a controller or a book, and moves toward the scalp, brow or mouth while your attention is on the screen or page in front of you.
For hair pulling during study, gaming and work
A cue for the hand that goes up while you're deep in something else.
Studying, a long read, a gaming session, a stretch of focused work: these are exactly the moments a hand can reach for your hair without you noticing. Awaira watches for that movement and gives you a quiet cue, so the moment becomes something you can see instead of something you find out about afterward.

Works while Awaira is open on your iPhone screen
On Mac, Windows and Linux the cue keeps working while you use other apps, so it can watch a textbook, a game or a document, not just Awaira itself. On iPhone, prop the phone up and keep Awaira open during the session. See the full platform comparison.
The moment this is built for.
Automatic pulling tends to happen when attention is somewhere else entirely, not during a pause, but in the middle of being absorbed in a task. These are the sessions where that shows up most.
A brief, private prompt to pause
The cue gives you a practical choice: lower your hand, use a competing response, take a short reset, or continue deliberately. You decide. Awaira just makes the moment visible.
Built for long, absorbing sessions.
Three situations come up again and again when people describe where their hand goes up without warning.
Studying and reading
Textbooks, long readings, and exam prep keep your eyes on the page for hours at a time, exactly the kind of absorption where an automatic reach is easy to miss until it has already happened.
Gaming sessions
Controller or keyboard in hand, attention fully on the screen. Awaira's camera cue works alongside whatever you're playing, without needing you to pause the game to log anything.
Remote work and calls
Long meetings, documents and deep-focus blocks at a desk are where many people notice the most hairs on the desk afterward. The cue arrives while you're still on the call or the doc, not after.
See the moment and the pattern.
Use the automatic cue in the moment, then look back at your own private patterns when it is useful.
Set it up in four quiet steps.
