Steady vs BingeFree

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. No account, no tracking, no data collection. Steady Plus is $6.99/month, $29.99/year with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase of $49.99. Payment is charged to your Apple Account; subscriptions renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Steady is an educational self-help tool, not a medical device or a substitute for professional care.

BingeFree is a calm, mascot-guided companion for binge eating recovery — built around AVRT (Addictive Voice Recognition Technique), not diet culture. WHEN AN URGE HITS Tap the panic button for a guided flow: breathing (box, 4-7-8, or coherent breathing), 5-4-3-2-1 grounding, and AVRT reframe cards that help you separate yourself from the "food noise" voice pushing you to binge — instead of white-knuckling it alone. TRACK WHAT MATTERS, GENTLY Log urges, mood, and triggers, and see the patterns in your Insights. No calorie counting, no weigh-ins, no shame. Your show-up streak rewards checking in, not staying "perfect" — a slip doesn't reset it. Earn badges for using your tools, not just for abstaining. CHOOSE YOUR COMPANION Sixteen mascots, each with their own personality, guide you through onboarding and check in with you daily. Set your mascot as your app icon. YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS ALONE Join an anonymous peer community to share wins and ask questions, or talk it through with your AI companion (Pro). Journal your thoughts, set a daily commitment, and watch the money you're saving add up. WHEN YOU NEED A BREAK FROM THE URGE ITSELF A few short distraction mini-games can help the wave pass. BingeFree is a self-help companion, not a substitute for professional care. Settings includes crisis resources if you need them. Subscription raises AI companion chat from 5 to 100 messages a day and unlocks the full toolkit of lessons and your complete insights history. The community, panic button, urge log, journal, and badges are free. Privacy Policy: https://pocketgrove.com/privacy/bingefree/ Terms of Use: https://pocketgrove.com/terms/
