What NoFingo is, why we built it, and how we help people stop nail biting with private, on‑device AI.
At NoFingo, our mission is simple: help people break free from nail biting (onychophagia) with tools that are private, effective, and affordable. We believe that changing habits doesn’t have to rely on willpower alone — it requires awareness, science, and support.
Like millions of others, our team struggled with nail biting and other Body‑Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs). We tried bitter nail polish, gloves, acrylic nails, and countless reminders — nothing worked long term.
That frustration sparked a question: what if your computer could help you stop, right when the urge happens?
So we combined behavioral psychology with real‑time AI detection, and NoFingo was born — a desktop app designed to gently disrupt the nail‑biting loop and help retrain your brain.
Unlike quick fixes, NoFingo is based on Habit Reversal Training (HRT), a method supported in clinical research to help with compulsive behaviors.
You get the benefits of AI habit detection without sacrificing security.
We translate these insights into practical, everyday tools anyone can use at their desk.
Every day, our users share stories of regaining confidence, healthier nails, and less stress.
NoFingo is more than software — it’s a movement to make habit change simple, private, and effective.
Whether you’ve been biting your nails for years or just started looking for solutions, we’re here to help.
