I've twirled my hair my whole life. Not occasionally — constantly. Every time I sit down at my computer, without even realizing it, my hand is already up there.
As a software engineer I'm at my Mac basically all day, which meant I was doing it for hours without a single moment of awareness. I tried the usual stuff. Nothing stuck because the habit happens before your brain catches up.
So I built TicTicBoom. I pointed my camera at myself, told it what to watch for, and within the first hour it caught me 25 times. 25 times in one hour I had no idea were happening.
The screen locks. You pause. You breathe. You carry on.
That simple loop changed something for me almost immediately. Not because it punished me — but because it made the invisible visible.
If you've got a tic, a habit, something your hands do while your brain is somewhere else — give it a try. It's free to download, Mac only, and nothing leaves your computer.
Would love your feedback. This one's personal. 🙏
