What’s one situation where your tics cause the most difficulty (even if you already know your triggers)?

I’m working on an idea for a small app that could help people with Tourette’s (especially vocal tics / coprolalia) in everyday situations. I don’t want to build something useless, so I’d really like to understand real experiences first.

If you’re comfortable sharing, I’d really appreciate your thoughts:

1. What are the hardest situations for you when it comes to vocal tics? (school, work, public places, etc.)

2. Do you feel any warning before a tic? If yes, how much time do you usually have?

3. What currently helps even a little?

4. What have you tried that didn’t work at all?

5. Would an app even be useful for you? If yes, what should it actually do to be worth using?

Obviously I’m not trying to “fix” Tourette’s. just exploring if there’s a way to support people better in daily life. So if you actually find the app demanded, please let me know!
