Monyx: Stop Nail Biting

You don't bite your nails because you lack willpower. You bite them because your hand moves on its own. 92% of nail biters say they never see the gesture coming. That's the whole problem, and it's why deciding to stop has never been enough. Monyx works on the gesture itself: noticing it, logging it, replacing it. THE DAILY PACT Every morning, sign your pact by holding your finger down for three seconds. Every evening, answer “Pact kept” right from the notification, and your day is confirmed. Your calendar fills up, kept days link into a streak, and 19 badges mark your milestones. THE METHOD 21 days of Habit Reversal Training, the behavioral method with the most evidence behind it. One lesson a day, one minute each, one exercise to try before evening. Each day unlocks once you've done the one before. Week 1, see the gesture. Week 2, replace it. Week 3, lock it in. TWO TAPS ON THE BACK OF YOUR IPHONE The urge rises. Two taps on the back of your phone and it's logged, without opening the app, without taking your eyes off what you were doing. That's the whole point: a log that costs nothing is a log you actually keep. After a few days, the Progress tab shows what you couldn't see. Your urges cluster around two or three situations, not everywhere. You stop fighting all day and start defending a few precise moments. YOUR NAILS, IN PHOTOS One photo a week, always framed the same way, with an alignment overlay so the comparison holds. A nail grows about 0.1 mm a day. It won't show tomorrow. In two months the difference jumps out at you. WHEN THE URGE HITS Make a fist and follow a guided breath: 4-7-8, in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, out for 8, or 5 minutes of coherent breathing. Almost every urge passes in under two minutes, whether you bite or not. Every wave you ride out teaches your brain that it ends without going through your mouth. AND IF YOU SLIP One bad evening costs a few days on one finger. The spiral that follows costs months on ten. Monyx logs the slip as a data point, not a verdict, and asks what set it off. The people who make it aren't the ones who never slip. They're the ones who start again within 24 hours. Monyx is also for people who pick or peel the skin around their nails instead of biting. The app asks at the start and adapts your tracking. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR IPHONE No account, no email, no password. Everything you log stays on your device and syncs only to your own iCloud, if you've turned it on. No analytics, no advertising, no third parties. You can erase everything from the app, for good, in two taps. Monyx is not a medical device and does not replace a healthcare professional.
