Great. Ok. So I LOVE hand detection. But it would be great if you could set the amount of time before it zaps you. I wear the bracelets for pulling my hair in both wrists, but I am getting zapped when putting in lip gloss or blowing my nose. :)

Another option would be the ability to disarm hand detection with a button on the device. So it’s like, hit the button, put on lip gloss, hit again. You don’t have to be near your phone.

This is harder from a tech perspective, but it would be amazing if you could put the bracelet in “training mode” then do the undesired activity so it could “learn” the motion to zap for. Habitaware dies this with the Keen bracelets, but they just vibrate, they don’t zap. So people who have really strong compulsions (like me) just keep doing it because who cares about a vibration? That’s why Pavlok is way superior because the avoidance of the zap actually does change my behavior.
