Hand leaves the desk, then approaches face
Awaira watches for the approach while its camera has a clear view. It does not need a manual entry before it can offer a cue.
For nail biting during study and screen time
A nail biting awareness cue during screen time.
Awaira creates an automatic cue when it sees a hand moving toward your face or head. It is useful when you are absorbed in reading, studying, or problem-solving and do not want to manually log every moment.
On iPhone, awareness runs only while Awaira is open. Choose another device or try the browser with Google sign-in.

A real use case: studying with your hand drifting upward.
When concentration is high, a hand can reach the mouth before the moment registers. The aim is not to police every movement; it is to restore a small moment of choice while you work. For background, read our guide to nail biting (onychophagia).
Pause, then use your own plan
Keep a pen, fidget, or planned reset nearby. The cue can help you notice the moment; the response is personal and remains in your control.
Automatic nail biting awareness while you focus.
Awaira offers a prompt when it sees your hand move toward your mouth. You can then notice what is happening and choose what to do next.
A reminder during the movement
If you want a nail biting reminder app, Awaira can give a cue at the hand-to-mouth moment while the camera can see you. A timer cannot know when your hand moves; the cue responds to visible movement.
What the camera can tell
As a camera app for nail biting awareness, Awaira looks for the approach to the face. It cannot confirm that a nail was bitten, count biting episodes, or tell a snack from a habit.
Where it fits
Try it during reading, studying, or other screen time when the movement tends to go unnoticed. Desktop and Android can run while you use other apps; on iPhone, keep Awaira open for camera awareness.
Use the cue now. Review your rhythm later.
Awaira’s private patterns can help you notice when screen-time hand to face activity tends to happen.
