“After struggling with skin picking for 45+ years... I noticed a significant decrease in my urge to pick. The gentle reminder helped me become more aware of my habit, allowing me to break the cycle.”

Instead of spiraling, build a positive alternative behavior.

Habit Bandz gives you a simple, positive alternative to unwanted behaviors like skin picking, nail biting, vaping, or endless scrolling. At the core is a smart fidget button. When you press it, it creates a satisfying physical action that gives you something healthy to do.

Let your urge pass naturally by urge surfing.

Habit Bandz allows you to stay mindful and let the urge pass naturally, just like a wave in the ocean. It makes urge surfing (est. 1985) easier by providing a tactile vibration when you press the button, helping ground your attention to the present moment.

“I can see my progress.”

“It helped me see the pattern of my habit better and take more ownership of it. I like that this device is easy to use with just a button press, but it still provides applicable data for me to assess my progress.”

“It flipped my urges 180.”
