Steady vs Unbitten

Bite your nails? Pick your skin? Pull your hair? You're not alone — millions live with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) like skin picking (dermatillomania, excoriation), nail biting (onychophagia), hair pulling (trichotillomania), and lip or cheek biting. Steady is a calm, private companion that helps you soften the pattern — without shame. There are no streaks to lose here and nothing ever resets to zero. Steady never scolds. Awareness counts, resisted urges count, and even noticing after the fact counts — because that is how these patterns actually soften. HOW IT WORKS • Notice the urge — one-tap logging keeps you aware • Meet it with a plan — a short competing response or guided decoupling exercise • Watch the pattern ease over weeks — at your pace, without pressure or red warning colors Steady is built on habit-reversal training (HRT) and decoupling, the self-help methods with the strongest research support. FREE FOR EVERYONE • One-tap logging — capture a moment or a resisted urge in seconds • Urge Help — breathing, grounding and competing-response tools for the moment an urge hits • Decoupling training — a short guided motor exercise you can repeat through the day • My Plan — a gentle glide path toward the pace you choose, never a countdown • This week at a glance — your log, your awareness streak, your week • Learn — six short modules on the science of BFRBs, from why they happen to when to seek help, each with its published sources • Soft reminders — a few caring nudges a day at most, fully optional • Home-screen widget that keeps awareness gently in view • Export your log as a spreadsheet to share with a therapist STEADY PLUS — GO DEEPER • Pattern insights — time-of-day patterns, trends over weeks, and quiet observations about your triggers • Smart reminders that learn your risk windows • A clinical PDF report to bring to appointments • Custom tags for your own situations • The Apple Watch companion app PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device.

Unbitten helps you break the nail-biting habit — one urge at a time. ■ 60-second urge session When the urge hits, open Unbitten and run a 60-second competing response (habit reversal) exercise instead of biting. Ride out the urge, don't fight it. ■ Trigger tagging Log what set off the urge — stress, boredom, screens, focus, or anxiety — and start seeing your own patterns. ■ 10-finger nail board A simple board for all ten fingers. Mark each nail's condition and watch your hands improve finger by finger. ■ Nail regrowth tracker Estimate regrowth in millimeters (roughly 0.1mm/day) so progress feels real, even on slow days. ■ Trigger insight charts Heatmaps and time-of-day charts show exactly when and why urges strike most. ■ Weekly hand photo diary Take a weekly photo to see your progress over time. Photos are stored on your device only — never uploaded. ■ Recovery milestone timeline See what commonly happens as a habit-reversal practice builds — from the first day without an urge to visibly healthier nails over weeks. General, science-informed information with milestone reminders. Not medical advice. ■ Clean streak Count consecutive days without biting and keep your streak alive. ■ 8 languages, private by design No account. No cloud. Everything stays on your device. One-time purchase removes all ads permanently.
