NailFree vs Forge

NailFree uses proven Habit Reversal Training (HRT) — the same behavioral therapy used by therapists — to help you stop biting your nails for good. Most nail-biting apps only track streaks. NailFree changes your behavior. HRT works by building awareness of when and why you bite, then replacing the habit with a competing response before it starts. Clinical studies show a 90%+ success rate. WHAT MAKES NAILFREE DIFFERENT • Evidence-based approach: HRT is the gold standard treatment for body-focused repetitive behaviors • Personalized identity work: shift how you see yourself, not just what you do • 60-second urge interception: tap a button when an urge hits and follow a quick competing response — each time you resist, your brain rewires • Daily science: short facts about nail growth and habit formation to keep motivation grounded • Streak tracking with milestones: visual ring progress, milestone unlocks, and grace days so one slip doesn't erase your work • Nail defense tracker: log when you file and apply bitter polish — the two physical barriers shown to reduce biting • Progress photos: weekly nail photos help you see the growth and keep you motivated • Apple Watch app: check your streak, tap "Caught It" the moment awareness hits, and get haptic check-in reminders throughout the day — all from your wrist BUILT ON REAL SCIENCE Habit Reversal Training was developed by psychologists and validated in peer-reviewed studies as one of the most effective treatments for nail biting and similar habits. Nail biting affects 1 in 4 adults. Most know they do it. Few know how to stop. NailFree gives you the tools that actually work.

Forge is a gentle, judgment-free companion for body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) — nail biting, skin picking, hair pulling, and lip or cheek biting. No shame. No streak punishment. Just a calmer relationship with your hands, one urge at a time. WHEN THE URGE HITS Open Forge and ride the wave instead of fighting it: • Pop-It — tactile bubbles to pop, press, and release • Pattern — trace calming shapes with your finger to refocus • Zen — breathe in, breathe out with a guiding light A short, soothing session helps the urge pass on its own. BUILD AWARENESS • Log urges and "hard moments" without judgment — your streak resets gently, never harshly • Notice your patterns: when, where, and how you feel before an urge • See your triggers on a private heat map and weekly flow TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Capture private, close-up progress photos • Compare your evolution over time • Celebrate awareness days, not perfection PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your reflections, logs, and photos stay on your device • No account, no email, no cloud upload of your content • Encrypted vault with Face ID / fingerprint for your photos • Delete everything anytime in Settings Forge supports awareness and self-reflection. It is not a medical device, diagnosis tool, or a substitute for professional care. Be kind to yourself. Progress, not perfection.
