A nail biting tracker that shows the pattern, not the score.
One tap when you catch yourself. A week later you know the hour it happens, the mood that comes first, and the thing that actually sets it off.

The bitter polish didn't fail because you're weak.
It answered the wrong question. Deterrents make the habit unpleasant — they never remove the reason your hand went up in the first place.
Three reasons. Three different answers. All of them start with seeing which one is yours.
“I bite when I can feel something wrong with the nail. That's the whole trigger.”
Three things that survive a bad week.
Different fixes for different reasons. The one that works for you depends on what sets yours off.
A file within reach
Smooth the edge before you've finished thinking about it.
For a rough edge
Something for your hands
Not a chew necklace — something with enough texture to actually hold you.
For restless hands
One nail at a time
Protect one nail. Let it grow. Then start the next.
For the long game
All three start with catching the moment your hand goes up. That's the part Anxora is for.
A whole method that fits in ten seconds.
Tap
Notice it. Open. One tap. Under 10 seconds, no forms, no judgment.

What it actually does, screen by screen.
Real screens from the app. The first half is for the moment itself. The second half is what you see after a few weeks.
01One button
“The urge is here” sits on the first screen. Tap it the moment your hand goes up — or later, when you notice. Both count.
02Did it, or Urge only
Say whether you bit or held off, then tap what was around it — a rough edge, a hangnail, deep focus, screen time. Or just press Save.
03For the long stretches
A film, a deadline, a long call — start a session and Anxora checks in quietly every few minutes. One tap from the Lock Screen: nothing, urge only, did it.
04Something for your hands
Bubble Wrap, Glue Peel, Pimple Pop and Tweezers give restless fingers a job with an ending. Guided breathing is right below.
05A week you can read
How many episodes, compared with this point last week. The peak day and time. The feelings and triggers that were around them.
06What goes with what
Which feelings show up with which triggers — tension with deep focus, restlessness with screen time. After a month it stops being a mystery.
07Steps that only add up
Credit for entries, for the days you show up and for every coping moment. Milestones that only ever add up — never a streak to lose.
08A report for your therapist
Turn any period into a PDF with the numbers, charts, triggers and feelings. It's made on your phone and goes only to whoever you send it to.
No account. No login. No email.
Your entries stay on your device and sync through your own private iCloud. We don't run a server that holds them.
The app records anonymous usage events — which screens open, which buttons are tapped — so we can tell what's broken. Never the content of an entry. → Privacy policy
From people who've lived with it
“I've tried a hundred things. Nothing ever held longer than a week.”
“Almost every single time, I didn't know I'd started.”
“The only person really keeping score is me.”

Good questions.
