About

Gentle support for body-focused habits.

Tiptend is a small, independent iPhone app for nail biting recovery and related body-focused repetitive behaviors. We build it slowly and on purpose, around one belief: awareness, not shame, is what makes a habit easier to change.

What we make

The app helps you log urges in a few taps, notice the triggers and times of day that shape biting, and keep private progress photos that turn slow nail regrowth into a visible before-and-after. There are no streaks to break and no social feed — your logs and photos are for you. Alongside the app we publish free, practical recovery guides.

How our guides are written

Every guide is researched and written by the Tiptend team. Where we make a claim about nail biology, health effects, or evidence-based techniques, we cite reputable sources — including the American Academy of Dermatology, Cleveland Clinic, the TLC Foundation for BFRBs, and peer-reviewed research — and link them at the foot of the article so you can read the original. We update guides as our understanding and the app improve, and we show the date of the last update on each one.
