Shoo: Hands Off Your Face

Productivity

Only for Mac

Free

Mac

A gentle menu-bar reminder when your hand drifts to your mouth or nose. Everything runs on your Mac; nothing is stored or sent anywhere. Shoo sits in your menu bar and watches through your Mac's camera. When a fingertip comes close to your mouth or nose, it shows a short reminder on screen so you notice the habit and let go. That's all it does. HOW IT WORKS • Detection runs on your Mac with Apple's Vision framework. No video, photos or data ever leave your computer, and the app has no network access at all. • A reminder overlay appears for a few seconds, with Snooze and Dismiss buttons. Optionally, play a sound or show a notification too. • Tune the sensitivity and the time between reminders. Snooze for 15, 30 or 60 minutes from the menu bar. • Launch at login and start watching automatically, if you want. • Preview the reminder from Settings without touching your face. GOOD TO KNOW • The green camera light stays on while Shoo is watching. Pause or quit Shoo and it goes off. • Shoo looks for hands near the mouth and nose: nail biting, lip biting, nose touching. It is not designed for other habits. • Shoo is a reminder tool. It does not diagnose or treat anything. • Requires a Mac with a built-in or external camera. Shoo is free and open source.
