Habit Bandz is a smart fidget tool for mindfulness.
What are you struggling with?
Habit Bandz turns urge surfing — a mindfulness technique developed by therapists in 1985 — into an everyday tool for iPhone and Apple Watch.
iPhone (iOS 18+) & Apple Watch (watchOS 11+) — watch optional.
Urge surfing means riding an urge out like a wave instead of acting on it. Habit Bandz gives your hands something better to do — tap for calming vibrations, let the urge pass, and build healthier routines.
“After struggling with skin picking for 45+ years... I noticed a significant decrease in my urge to pick. The gentle reminder on my wrist helped me become more aware of my habit, allowing me to break the cycle.”
“Habit Bandz helped me stop picking my skin within 2 days of using it. After 2 days, I haven't picked my skin for a month! It's easy to use, and it's very discreet.”
“It helped me see the pattern of my habit better and take more ownership of it. Easy to use with just a button press, but it still provides applicable data for me to assess my progress.”
“My spouse loves that he has a constructive way to alert me... For them to be able to nicely say ‘Push your button’ instead is very positive for everyone.”
“Habit Bandz combines a lot of the therapeutic techniques for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, such as habit reversal training and urge surfing, into one simple device.”
“Habit Bandz helped bring awareness to my unwanted habit... it flipped my urges almost 180, and it helped me stay motivated to continue to work towards breaking my habit completely.”
