BFRB Ally: Stop Skin Picking

It's 23:40. You told yourself you'd stop an hour ago, and your hands had other plans. If you know that moment, this app was built for you. Skin picking, hair pulling, nail biting. These have a name: body-focused repetitive behaviors, and they affect millions of people who mostly deal with them alone, in bathrooms and bedrooms, in shame. BFRB Ally is the ally for exactly those moments. Not a lecture. Not a streak to protect. A hand on your shoulder at the hour you need one. WHAT IT DOES The urge button. One tap starts a five-minute wave timer. Urges crest and pass on their own; the timer keeps you company while this one does. Works offline. Logging without judgment. Two taps, done. A log is data, never a verdict. Your entries quietly draw a map of when and where your hands wander. Repair, not punishment. After an episode, a short guided session helps you land softly instead of spiraling. What you do in the ten minutes after an episode matters more than the episode. Guided paths. Short, gentle programs that teach the actual evidence-based skills: awareness training, competing responses, and self-compassion, adapted to whether you notice your urges or surface mid-episode. Trance Breaker. The app learns your personal risk windows from your logs and checks in gently before they open, right when hands usually start wandering. Wave Buddy. Pair anonymously with one other person who gets it. No names, no chat, just a squeeze that says someone is there. BFRB ALLY PLUS Going deeper is optional. Plus adds the full repair library, all fifteen competing-response strategies with guided audio, risk-window check-ins, the body map, full history, and your weekly report. Yearly with a 7-day free trial, or monthly. Cancel anytime; subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled in your App Store settings. From one of our members: "This app has really helped me. The urges still come, but now I know what to do when they roll in." Made by MindCrafts, the makers of DBT-Mind. BFRB Ally supports self-help with evidence-based techniques; it is not a medical device and no substitute for professional diagnosis or care. Your hands are not the enemy. They just need a new job.
