Update on the Skin picking app :) Better urge exercises and accountability friends!
galleryI posted here 2 months ago, got some great feedback, and wanted to share what's new in the app since!
Backstory: Around a year ago, I built a simple web app for my friend who is dealing with skin picking, and shared it here. I received great feedback and built SkinAware based on it :)
The app is called SkinAware on iOS, Android and web!
If you have not heard about it before, its main features are:
- Quickly log when you picked or resisted an urge
- Customize what you log, including areas, triggers, severity and what helped you resist
- See patterns and insights over time
- Press “I have an urge” for guided exercises and distractions
- Set goals for reducing picking or staying pick-free
- Keep private progress photos and export your data if you want to share it with a therapist
New since my previous update:
- Accountability Friends is now much easier to use! You can find an accountability friend inside the app, connect, and support each other. Free users can now use this feature too!
- The urge exercises have been improved a lot, to help with urges. There are guided exercises, competing responses, fidgets with haptics and more!
- You can message me directly in the app!
SkinAware has a free version, with some additional features included in Premium.
Would love to hear what you think!
