Nice. I've never had the issue but I appreciate seeing a unique project. I'm curious how well it works and if the technology is applicable to any other habits.
Thanks! :) Yeah I'm surprised no one else made it yet to be honest, it seems like a pretty natural use of the face/hand tracking tech
FYI: Product hunt link is wrong
It shows kianpak.handsdown.com instead of handsdown.kianpak.com
Also, I’m planning on upgrading to a new Mac. How would transferring the license work?

Thanks for letting me know about that!
No license, you can just use the same download link to download the app again

This is genius. I definitely do have this issue. Sadly I am not on MacOS anymore or I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Ugh, that pains me to be so close to helping you out, yet so far. Unfortunately I only have a Mac, so I can't realistically develop apps for other platforms :( Sorry.
But thanks for letting me know!

It uses Mac's Vision library to track the location of your hands and mouth via the webcam.
Then when it catches you biting, it temporarily covers your screen with a big obnoxious warning. You have to stop biting if you want to continue seeing anything.
It's helped me a lot, so I hope it can help other nail-biters here :)
