Hi Product Hunt,

As someone who’s been biting their nails literally my whole life, in school, at work, while thinking, while stressed, even without realizing, I built StopBite because I desperately needed something that actually helped me break the habit.

Nothing else worked: not bitter nail polish, not reminders, not willpower alone. I always went back to biting.

StopBite is the app I wish I had years ago.

You can log every “bite” to understand your triggers, take daily photos to actually see your progress, and check analytics that keep you motivated instead of ashamed. It’s simple, private, and genuinely helpful, especially on bad days.

If you struggle with nail-biting too, I hope StopBite helps you the way it’s helping me. 💙

Happy to answer any questions!

Something similar should also be for smoking or so. But I think that would be a way hardert so stop :D

@busmark_w_nika Thanks for your comment, Nika. Yes, quitting smoking must be even harder 🫠

OMG! You have built such a stunning app for this.
How did you come up with the idea?

Guilermo Olcina

Thanks @chilarai ! Because I myself have a problem with biting my nails 🫠

Great job!

I really thought this was a joke at first, kind of still do, wondering if this is a social experiment to see how many people will support this app. But as I’m not a nail biter, I guess I don’t fully grasp the extent of this epidemic. Good luck with the launch, and the biting.

Thank you @mogabr . No, this isn't a joke; it's actually a common problem for many of us. That's why I decided to create StopBite 😊.

This is an extraordinary PH launch as for me! I'm not a nail biter but such a narrow focus of your app is kinda cool.

On the flip side, it seems it can deter people thinking it's just a joke app. I think the first step to take might be to update the logo to something a bit more serious.

Guilermo Olcina

Thank you so much for your kind words @mokosiy ! The logo is Biti, the StopBite mascot. I created this logo because, even though the app is for breaking a bad habit, it's important to convey optimism and make quitting nail-biting a positive experience. But I'll save your comment for a more in-depth study of this.

Huge congratulations on launching StopBite. You’ve addressed a real, everyday struggle with a thoughtful and user-centered solution.

Unexpected kind of app) When I was a child, my parents put pepper on my nails, it helped a lot.

Hi Guilermo, this app sounds amazing. I face the same problem too, and it got to a point my cuticles became almost invisible. I'm really hopeful that this would help a lot of us. Though I've noticed that a lot of times, nail bites are semi conscious, so how can we track that?
