Update: Awaira is finally available on Windows too!

Hey everyone,

A few days ago I shared my story here about building Awaira (a desktop app to regulate trich) because of my own trichotillomania. The post got a lot more attention than I expected, and one of the biggest requests was:

“Can you make it for Windows?”

Well… it’s finally here.

For anyone who missed my last post it's here: https://www.reddit.com/r/trichotillomania/comments/1uk4v2c/my_therapist_gave_me_homework_that_i_literally/

I’ve had trich since 2018, and most of my pulling happens while I’m sitting at my computer. I built Awaira because I wanted something that would gently remind me when my hand stayed near my face before I’d already spent several minutes pulling.

The app runs entirely on your own computer. No videos are uploaded, no internet connection is needed for detection, and everything stays private.

It’s not a cure, and it’s definitely not a replacement for therapy. It simply helps become aware of the behavior before you realize it as it's so automatic behaviour.

Since a lot of people couldn’t try it before because they didn’t have a Mac, I wanted to share that Windows is now available too.

Download it from Website and request a free 1 year access as early user:

https://awaira.app

The first 100 people from this community receives one year of Awaira for free. All I ask in return is honest feedback so I can keep making it better for people living with trichotillomania and other BFRBs.

If you’d like a free license, just email hello@awaira.app with the subject Reddit – Trichotillomania and get your licence**.**

And if you read my previous post, thank you. The feedback (especially everyone asking for Windows ) was a big motivation to finish this version.q

I really hope it helps someone else the way it’s been helping me.

❤️
