Catch the urge.
Not the shame.
Most apps just count days. Anxora meets you in the 30 seconds the urge actually hits — for nail biting, skin picking, and hair pulling.
Notice it, name it, watch it pass. One tap. Under 10 seconds.

Trackers count. Anxora guides.
Every other app is a record-keeper — it tells you what you already did. Anxora catches you in the moment the urge hits and walks you out of the loop. Every logged moment is a tiny guided pause.

Awareness breaks the loop.
Anxora is built on awareness-based habit change — the same approach studied by Dr. Judson Brewer and used in Habit Reversal Training. You don't fight the urge. You get curious about it, and the loop loses its grip.
Grounded in published research on mindfulness-based habit change and Habit Reversal Training for body-focused repetitive behaviors. Anxora is a self-tracking tool, not a medical treatment.
Calm by design.
Five screens, one job: get you through the moment and give you the pattern afterwards.
One-tap catch
Open the app, tap once — the moment is marked. The week strip shows where the episodes fell and the day card shows what time they hit.
- ✓Under 10 seconds, nothing required after
- ✓Or catch it from the wrist, no phone needed
Details, only if you want them
Name the feeling and the trigger behind it — confusion, shame, poor sleep, a deadline. Or press Save and move on. The important part is already logged.
Calendar heat map
A month coloured by intensity, with the count printed in the cell. Days without episodes are sage — noticed, not scored.
Deep analytics
Top triggers and feelings, feeling-to-trigger links, time-of-day peaks — over 7 days, 30 days, 3 months or all time. Overlay heart rate variability from Apple Health to see whether low HRV lines up with harder days.
Hands and breath
Pimple Pop and Bubble Wrap occupy restless hands as a competing response. Box breathing, 4-7-8 and coherent breathing carry the wave out with a visual guide and haptic rhythm.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
No cheering. No shaming.
We designed Anxora for the moment right after the urge hits — when the last thing you need is an app that makes you feel worse.
- —Neutral language everywhere. "Episode", not "relapse". Numbers, not verdicts.
- —Streaks count the days you noticed — not days you were "good". Miss one and nothing scolds you.
- —No "great job" when you log. Catching the urge is the practice, not a performance.
- —No account, no ads, no tracking across apps. Your data stays yours.
Whichever one brought you here.
