Steady: Stop Nail Biting

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.
