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, and watch it pass. One tap. Under 10 seconds.

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 coaching session.
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.
Stress, boredom, a screen — a cue sets the urge in motion before you even notice.
One tap marks the moment. Noticing is the practice — that single act interrupts the autopilot.
Name the feeling, occupy your hands, breathe. The urge rises, crests, and passes on its own.
Each caught moment teaches your brain what the habit really delivers. Awareness compounds where willpower fades.
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.
Open the app, tap once — the moment is marked. Add the feeling, trigger, or a note after if you want, or skip it. Your pace.
Monthly view colored by intensity, plus days logged and days without episodes. See your patterns at a glance.
Top triggers and feelings, feeling-to-trigger links, time-of-day peaks. Over 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, or all time.
Overlay episodes with your heart rate variability to spot whether low HRV or poor sleep line up with harder days.
Pimple Pop and Bubble Wrap occupy your hands as a competing response — a core technique from Habit Reversal Training.
Box breathing, 4-7-8, and coherent breathing with a visual guide and haptic rhythm to help the wave pass.
Catch the urge straight from your wrist. Syncs to iPhone over Bluetooth — no phone needed in the moment.
Track nail biting, skin picking, hair pulling, and more side by side. Switch between them from any screen.
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.
Anxora runs no servers and has no user accounts. Your log lives in your Apple Account's private database — we have no way to read it.
When you're signed in to iCloud, your log syncs privately and automatically — backed up and on all your devices, free. Not signed in? It stays on-device. To keep it on this device only, turn iCloud off for Anxora in iOS Settings.
We collect anonymous usage stats via Firebase (which tabs you open). Never note contents, never trigger text.
Full access is $1.99, once — it unlocks tracking multiple habits and App Lock (Face ID). No subscription. Family Sharing supported.
A body-focused repetitive behavior — nail biting, skin picking, hair pulling, cheek biting, and similar habits. They're common, often tied to stress or boredom, and nothing to be ashamed of. Anxora helps you notice and understand yours.
Yes. Download and all core features — catching the urge, the calendar, analytics, breathing, one fidget game, and private iCloud sync — are free. A one-time $1.99 "Full access" unlocks tracking more than one habit and App Lock (Face ID). No subscription.
No. There's no sign-up and no login. Anxora runs no servers of its own — your log syncs privately to your own iCloud when you're signed in, and stays on-device if you're not.
Most trackers count days after the fact. Anxora meets you in the moment the urge hits — one tap to notice it, then it helps you name the feeling, occupy your hands, or breathe through the wave. It coaches the skill, not just the record.
Yes. Your log syncs to your own private iCloud database, which is tied to your Apple Account — only you can read it, and we run no servers that could. If you're not signed in to iCloud, everything stays on your device. We collect anonymous usage stats (which tabs you open) via Firebase, never the contents of your notes or triggers.
No. Anxora is a self-tracking tool, not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. For clinical BFRB care, consult a therapist trained in Habit Reversal Training (HRT) or comprehensive behavioral treatment (ComB).
