SoloUno

What It Does

SoloUno is a comprehensive digital tool designed to help people overcome Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) such as trichotillomania (hair pulling), dermatillomania (skin picking), and onychophagia (nail biting), as well as other unwanted habits like smoking. Unlike traditional habit apps that assume you can quit cold turkey, SoloUno takes a realistic, incremental approach—helping you create habit-free periods when you can, while reducing the behavior the rest of the time.

Who It's For

SoloUno serves individuals struggling with BFRBs and other compulsive habits, whether they're working independently or alongside therapy. The app is particularly valuable for those undergoing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Habit Reversal Training (HRT), as it provides the daily tracking and practice structure these therapeutic approaches require. With over 5,000 users worldwide and more than 100,000 habit-free hours logged, SoloUno has helped thousands break free from behaviors they've struggled with for years.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Habit-Free Challenges: Start timed challenges (1 hour, 3 hours, or full day) and earn diamonds for every successful period
• Streak Tracking: Build and maintain habit-free streaks with daily check-ins to boost accountability and motivation
• Comprehensive Habit Logging: Record instances when the habit occurs, capturing situation, emotion, urge level, and detailed notes
• Trigger Analysis: Automatically identify your most common triggers—the situations and emotions that drive your habit—so you can make targeted changes
• Daily Wrap-Up: Answer one simple question each evening to track progress over time with minimal effort
• Pattern Recognition: The app learns your habits over time, helping you understand when and why the behavior happens

How It Works

The workflow is simple: choose your habit, start a challenge for a specific time window, and do your best to resist. When the challenge ends, log the result. The simple act of opening the app to track can itself help break habit loops. Between challenges, the app continuously analyzes your patterns, building a rich dataset of triggers and contexts that you can review or share with a therapist.

What Makes It Different

SoloUno was built by people with personal BFRB experience who understand that complete elimination isn't always realistic. The app focuses on creating manageable, motivating daily wins rather than demanding perfection. It bridges the gap between therapy sessions, enabling continuous practice of CBT and HRT techniques while generating real data to discuss with healthcare professionals. The platform works across both mobile and web (app.solouno.io), making it accessible wherever you are—especially useful when you're at work or school with your computer already open.
