About

Hair Pulling Tracker

Features
Read full description

BFRB Tracker is a self-monitoring tool built around Habit Reversal Training (HRT) techniques for hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting. Log an urge or an episode in seconds, watch your own pattern build over weeks, and reach for a stimulus-control plan or a competing response the moment you notice an urge starting. A broken streak isn't a failure here β€” it's data. BFRB Tracker exists to make your own pattern visible: when urges happen, what tends to trigger them, and which response actually helps you ride one out instead of acting on it. FREE β€’ Log an urge or episode β€” record intensity and context in seconds, any time of day β€’ Streak tracking β€” a reset is treated as data, never as failure β€’ Starter competing-response techniques β€” a fist clench, a stress-ball squeeze, cold water on the hands, and other first-line responses β€’ Starter stimulus-control tips β€” change your environment ahead of high-risk situations β€’ 30-day progress view β€” your logging streak and pattern trends over the last month β€’ Recent entries list β€” scan back through your last several logged urges and episodes β€’ Crisis Resources β€” real support, always free, no purchase required PRO (auto-renewing subscription, in-app purchase) β€’ Weekly AI pattern summary β€” a plain-language read of what your own logged data says about this week β€’ Full competing-response library β€” every technique, for every behavior type β€’ Full stimulus-control planner β€” every planning tool, not just the starter tips β€’ Unlimited progress history and data export β€’ Ad-free β€” no banners or interstitials Free-tier techniques can also be unlocked one at a time by watching a short ad, with no subscription required. WHY BFRB TRACKER β€’ Built around Habit Reversal Training β€” the same clinical model used in professional BFRB treatment, adapted into a self-monitoring tool β€’ Logging takes seconds β€” urges and episodes get recorded in the moment, not reconstructed later β€’ Free to start β€” the core log, streak tracking, and starter techniques cost nothing; the full library, planner, and AI pattern summary are part of Pro β€’ No judgment in the data β€” every entry, including a reset streak, is just information about your own pattern β€’ Private by design β€” your episode log stays on your device WHO IT'S FOR β€’ Anyone who pulls hair, picks skin, or bites nails and wants to understand their own pattern β€’ People already familiar with Habit Reversal Training who want a log built around it β€’ Anyone who wants a stimulus-control plan and a competing response ready before the next urge hits β€’ People who want a private way to track urges without judgment β€’ Anyone who has tried to describe their pattern to a therapist and realized they had no actual log to bring to the session BFRB Tracker is a self-monitoring tool, not a diagnosis, treatment, or substitute for professional mental-health care. If you're in crisis, the app's Crisis Resources page connects you to real support right away, at no cost. The free urge log and starter technique library get you started; Pro adds the full library, planner, and weekly pattern insights. Download BFRB Tracker and start seeing your own pattern.
