Steady: Calm Hands

Steady is a calm companion for skin picking, nail biting, and hair pulling — the body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) millions of people live with.

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.

Built on habit-reversal training (HRT) and decoupling, the self-help methods with the strongest research support, Steady helps you notice urges earlier, meet them with a plan, and watch the pattern ease over weeks — at your pace, without pressure or red warning colors.

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.
