FaceFence: Stop Face Touching
BFRB & Skin Picking Awareness
Only for Mac

Mac
For trichotillomania and hair pulling: Real-time detection alerts you when hands approach your face, helping break unconscious habits gently.
You touch your face dozens of times per hour without realizing it.
Whether you're struggling with skin picking, hair pulling, or simply want clearer skin, FaceFence provides the real-time awareness you need to break unconscious habits.
FOR THOSE WHO'VE TRIED EVERYTHING
If you have dermatillomania, trichotillomania, or other body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), you know willpower alone isn't enough. FaceFence catches the moment your hands drift toward your face—before the picking or pulling starts. Build awareness. Break the cycle.
REAL-TIME DETECTION
Using Apple's advanced Vision framework, FaceFence continuously monitors for hand-to-face proximity and alerts you the moment your hands wander toward your face. No more unconscious touching.
PRIVACY FIRST
All video processing happens entirely on your device. Your camera feed is never stored, recorded, or transmitted anywhere. FaceFence respects your privacy completely.
LIVES IN YOUR MENU BAR
FaceFence runs quietly in your menu bar, always ready but never in the way. A simple color indicator shows monitoring status at a glance:
• Green: Actively monitoring
• Orange: Temporarily paused
• Gray: Stopped
CUSTOMIZABLE TO YOUR NEEDS
• Adjust sensitivity to find your sweet spot
• Set cooldown between alerts to prevent notification fatigue
• Pause monitoring for 5 minutes when needed
• Test alerts to ensure everything is working
