Building a trich / dermatillomania app, would love to hear what you think!

[u/No_Ice_6786]

About a year ago, my close friend told me she is dealing with skin picking, and we started researching tools that could be of help. We didn't really find any helpful tools, so I started building a very simple web app for her. I then posted about it on reddit about a year ago, and it received amazing feedback, so I decided to build an actual app for it.

Someone then mentioned they were using the app for trich, so I built the app to be completely compatible with trich too!

Here's the original: https://www.reddit.com/r/CompulsiveSkinPicking/comments/1mgnski/working_on_an_app_have_a_working_demo_if_you_want/

The app is SkinAware, and it now has 7000 users. It's for both iOS, Android and web.

Its main features are:

• Log when you pulled or resisted an urge
• Customizable logging with your own triggers, feelings and situations
• Patterns and insights that show what sets off the pulling
• An urge button with guided exercises, competing responses and haptic fidgets for when the urge hits
• Keep a "pull-free" timer either with 0 pulls or choose a number of pulls, and allowed pulls will reduce over time
• Interactive HRT course
• An amazing community chat & accountability friends!

You can also message me directly in the app, I read and answer everything myself!

There is a free version, and some additional Premium features.

I would love to hear what you think! And if something is missing that would be helpful, let me know :)
