## About Hands Off

Hands Off is a desktop application designed to help users overcome body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like nail biting, skin picking, and hair pulling through real-time AI detection and interruption. The app runs in the background using a webcam to monitor hand movements and instantly alerts users when they begin unconscious habits, helping retrain the brain over time.

Key features include:
- **Real-time AI detection** - Uses webcam monitoring to detect nail biting, skin picking, and other BFRBs as they happen
- **Instant interruption** - Provides immediate full-screen alerts to stop habits before they cause damage
- **Complete privacy** - All processing happens locally on the device with no video recording or data sharing
- **Multi-habit support** - Works with 5 common BFRBs including nail biting, skin picking, eyebrow/eyelash pulling, ear picking, and nose picking
- **Progress tracking** - Includes statistics to monitor improvement over time

The app targets individuals struggling with unconscious body-focused repetitive behaviors who want a technology-assisted solution with privacy protection.
