SoloUno helps people take control over body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) such as hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania), and nail biting. Inspired by Habit Reversal Training, CBT, and ACT, it works as a gamified self-help tool. You progress by achieving small daily wins: habit-free challenges and streaks, quick habit logging, trigger analysis, and urge-acceptance sessions. No shame - just steady progress.
Hey all! My name is Omer and Im a solopreneur - Im dealing with hair-pulling (trichotillomania) for many years now and that what inspired me to build SoloUno
I used to smoke cigarettes and had successfuly rehabed using a rehab app so I thought it would be easy doing the same with my hair pulling, right?
Apperntly not.
I found out that hair pulling, like nail biting and skin picking are a part of a group defined by the DSM-5 as Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs)
This group of habits are defined by peoples difficulty to completly stop them "cold turkey" and many people just tend to live with them
One thing became very clear to me: for many people with BFRBs, simply deciding to “just stop” isn’t enough. And when an app is built entirely around the goal of never doing the behavior again, every slip can feel like failure.
So I decided to flip the equation with SoloUno.
Instead of focusing only on one huge, all-or-nothing goal, SoloUno focuses on small daily wins - becoming more aware of the habit, resisting urges when possible, reducing the behavior over time, and building confidence along the way.
And I wanted to make the process fun and engaging enough that people would actually want to keep practicing.
I started reading research, tried therapy myself, and learned about evidence-based approaches used for BFRBs, including Habit Reversal Training (HRT), CBT, and ACT. I wanted to take principles inspired by these approaches and turn them into something people could practice in their everyday lives.
And that became SoloUno ✨
I’d love to hear what you think! and especially from anyone who has dealt with a BFRB themselves
I appreciate that this app makes me cope with my situation directly, offers me options that are specific to my situation and support this sensitive and emotional struggle. The app is friendly, Pleasantly designed and allow me to control my own progress. Thank you for it :)
Like that you are not trying to make people perfect , But just focus on a small progress each day . Wishing you a lot of success with SoloUno.
What a great app!
I've been using it since its very beginning.
It helped me to (almost) get rid of decades of nail biting.
Congrats Omer!
The app has helped me so much. At 36, I’ve already realized that you can’t simply stop a habit, but with the app, I can actually control it. I’m much more aware of it now, and that has really helped me minimize it and even stop altogether. Thank you!
Love the App, using it from day one, I wish it was available many years ago.
SoloUno is friendly and easy to use but the most valuable feature for me is the fact that I do not feel defeated or failure when I do pull my hair. I just continue my journey
The app really helped with stopping to pluck beard hairs.
Very intuitive and simple to use.
Thanks for the app!
I had the pleasure of using SoloUno from its first versions. It helped me get over a habit of many (30+) years. I actually don't need it anymore as the habit is gone.
@omer_bialer I wish there was something like this a few years ago, I was a nail biter for most of my life, but a few years ago I made an effort to stop, it was tough, and took a while but I managed it. Best of luck with the launch.
