TicTicBoom is a macOS app that uses computer vision to detect repetitive physical habits like hair twirling or nail biting, then temporarily locks the screen to create a mindful pause. It's interesting because it repurposes device cameras for behavioral awareness and intervention rather than traditional productivity or security applications.

Target audience: general users, people with repetitive habits, mindfulness practitioners
