Show HN: Stop It – an iOS app using visual therapy to help break habits

[rouuuge]

I’m an indie dev and recently launched a small iOS app called Stop It. It’s designed to support people trying to quit or reduce habits like smoking, snus, sugar, or social media. The app uses bilateral visual stimulation — moving patterns inspired by EMDR therapy — to help interrupt the craving cycle and bring a moment of calm.

This would probably be really useful when integrated as an automatic intermission before opening some apps like OneSec.

As a desktop browser extension I would buy this in a heartbeat.

sounds interesting! how the extension should work then?

[jpincheira]

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. Out of simply curiosity, did you use a multi-platform SDK for building the apps? Or just native?

[rouuuge]

heavy depends on the use case

An example of "bilateral visual stimulation" would go a very long way towards making people want to try the app.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just added a short screen recording of the visual stimulation on the landing page!

That looks really interesting! Is there a plan for an Android or web-based version?

[rouuuge]

there is already an android version available
