HAPPY HANDS
Bitter polish. Gloves. Rubber bands.
A reminder on your phone.
You've tried them. You're still here.
Every one of them asked you to do the same thing:
notice it — and stop yourself.
But you don't notice. You look down and it's already happened.
That's not weak willpower. That's the whole condition.
So we stopped asking you to watch yourself.
We gave you ten small creatures to look after instead.
Your ten fingers, as they actually are today — skin and nails tracked separately, because plenty of us have fine nails and wrecked skin.
That's the only thing you have to remember. They read your hands from it.
Cream, a plaster, leaving a hangnail alone. Small things, for someone else's sake.
Ten separate lives. One bad day only touches one of them — nothing resets to zero.
Day 1
Day 28
Illustration, not a user's results. Real nails come back with ridges and uneven colour — we draw them that way on purpose.
Underneath the characters is a 5-part recovery rubric — open wounds, hangnails, dryness, pain, and whether today added new damage — mapped onto a 28-day plan modelled on Habit Reversal Training, the behavioural approach with the strongest evidence base for body-focused repetitive behaviours.
Not medical treatment. If something looks infected, see a doctor before a sprite.
It costs less than one manicure.
Less than the fidget toys already in your drawer. You pay on day one — no free trial. That part is deliberate: the people who decide on day one are the ones who finish.
This is for you, or for someone you're helping. Some of our earliest testers are parents, sitting next to a kid who's been at this longer than they'd like.
One email when it's ready. Nothing else.
