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.
None of them work for everyone. They work for different reasons — which is the point. Which one is yours depends on what sets it off.
A file within reach
If your hand goes up because there's an edge, the fix is boring: smooth it before you've finished thinking about it. People who get free of this rarely credit willpower. They credit the clippers in their bag.
Doesn't help when your nails are already smooth and your hands are just restless.
Something better for your hands
Not a chew necklace — those stop working in about fifteen minutes. Something with enough going on to actually hold you: an instrument, a textured object, something your fingers can chase.
Doesn't help when the pull is an edge you can still feel.
One nail at a time
Protect a single nail. Let it grow. Then start the next one. Nine out of ten is a win, and the last one is supposed to be the hardest.
Doesn't help when you expect it to be quick. This one is measured in months.
All three need the same thing first — catching the moment your hand goes up. That's the part Anxora is for.
A whole method that fits in ten seconds.

The app tells you what it sees. Nothing more.
Most slips happen between 22:00 and midnight.
Your top trigger this month: boredom.
Tuesdays are heavier than weekends.
“Anxious” shows up right before, more than any other feeling.
You're not failing — you're learning yourself.

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.”
Paraphrased from public conversations in BFRB communities. Not Anxora users.
Good questions.
The next urge is going to happen anyway.
Have something to do with it.
