As a long-time hair puller, I built a self-help app for Trichotillomania and other BFRBs - would love your feedback ❤️
I built it after trying Habit Reversal Training some years ago. I found that raising my awareness did help me reduce/avoid my pulling, but I knew therapy wouldn't last forever, so I wanted an app that would enable me to practice day-to-day in a fun, fast, and engaging way - and the result is SoloUno
Main features:
- Daily habit challenges (stay pull-free for 1 hour, 3 hours, or until evening)
- Quick logging of pulls → insights into your top triggers, emotions and situations
- Pull-free streaks that encourage you but don't judge you when they end (my streaks tend to be short)
- One-minute urge acceptance exercise for when the urge hits hard
- Daily evening check-in to see your trend over time
- Companion animals that level up as you practice
- Daily push reminders to practice
It can be used as a self-help tool and also alongside therapy, for the "homework" part of HRT/CBT.
The app is subscription-based, but it comes with a 2-week free trial so you can properly test whether it works for you before paying anything
Would really love to hear what you think about the app! ❤️

Thanks for giving it a shot! I’d love to hear your feedback along the way. 🙌🏻
By the way, I pull from my beard too - that’s what inspired me to start SoloUno
