Real-time face touching awareness for Mac
A Face Touching App That Alerts You in Real Time
Untouched detects visible hand-to-face movement during computer use and gives you a gentle alert, bringing the movement to your attention so you can choose what happens next.
Live detection runs locally. Webcam data leaves only with an explicit false-positive submission.
From automatic to aware
Attention elsewhere
You are focused on work, study, browsing, a call, or a video.
Hand moves
Your hand approaches your chin, cheek, mouth, nose, or another face area.
Alert appears
Untouched brings the movement into awareness while it is happening.
You decide
Lower your hand, change posture, use a fidget, or continue an intentional action.
Why you touch your face without noticing
Face touching often happens automatically while your attention is occupied. Resting your chin in your hand, rubbing your nose, touching a blemish, or scanning your skin can become part of the background of working at a computer.
Telling yourself to stop later does not reach the moment when the habit runs. A face touching app is useful when it closes that awareness gap in real time.
Work and study
Catch touches that happen while concentration is directed at a screen or task.
Stress and boredom
Notice when your hands drift toward your face during tension or understimulation.
Skin scanning
Interrupt the transition from feeling a bump or texture to squeezing or picking it.
Immediate feedback changes the moment that matters
A daily total can tell you what already happened. A real-time alert can interrupt the movement itself. That timing creates a small window to lower your hand before an automatic touch becomes prolonged rubbing, squeezing, or picking.

Untouched monitors hand-to-face movement while you use your Mac.
Alerts in the moment
Feedback arrives during the movement rather than in an end-of-day report.
Keeps you in control
The alert creates awareness; you decide whether the touch is intentional.
Builds a clearer picture
Detection events can reveal the computer-time situations where touching appears most.
Best fit

- You want immediate awareness rather than manual logging alone.
- Your highest-risk situations include work, study, browsing, or streaming.
- You use a Mac and want local webcam processing.
Less unnecessary contact, without policing every touch
Touching your face is normal. The goal is not to eliminate every intentional action. It is to notice repetitive, unnecessary contact that can transfer oil and irritants, disturb sensitive skin, or lead into squeezing and picking.
Untouched provides the signal. You provide the context and decide how to respond.
Live detection stays on your Mac
Face and hand landmark detection runs locally on your device. Detection screenshots stay on your Mac. Webcam-related data leaves only when you explicitly submit false-positive footage.

FAQ
Is there an app that helps you stop touching your face?
Untouched is a Mac app that detects hand-to-face movement during computer use and gives you a gentle real-time alert. The alert helps you notice an automatic face touch while you still have time to lower your hand.
How does Untouched detect face touching?
Untouched analyzes face and hand landmarks from your Mac webcam locally on your device. When your hand enters the face area, the app can give you an awareness alert.
Does Untouched record my webcam?
Live detection processes your webcam feed locally on your Mac. Detection screenshots stay on your device. Webcam-related data leaves your device only if you explicitly submit false-positive footage.
Can reducing face touching help acne?
Reducing unnecessary touching may limit the transfer of oil, dirt, and irritants and can help you avoid squeezing or picking blemishes. It is not an acne treatment, and persistent acne should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
What if I touch my face intentionally?
Untouched detects movement, not intention. Normal actions like adjusting glasses, applying skincare, or resting your chin may trigger an alert. You remain in control of how you interpret and respond to it.
Does the app work away from my computer?
No. Untouched uses your Mac webcam, so it is designed for work, study, browsing, gaming, and other computer-time situations.
