I built StopAddict, a minimalist app that helps you quit addictions or bad habits by turning the process into a simple XP and level-up system.
Every day you stay clean, you earn XP. If you relapse, you don’t lose everything — just your momentum. The goal is to make progress feel tangible, without guilt, spam, or pressure.
⸻
Why I built it:
Most addiction apps felt bloated, medical, or too serious. I just wanted a quiet space to track discipline — like a gamified habit tracker with no fluff.
I’m 18 and just getting started in SaaS. This is one of my first projects built solo in public (Next.js + MongoDB + Vercel).
⸻
Features: • Track multiple addictions (ex: nicotine, porn, social media) • XP system + streaks + level • Anonymous & mobile-friendly • Dark mode (because of course)
⸻
Upcoming: • Milestones & badges • Daily reflections • Optional community support (opt-in only)
⸻
Would love feedback: • Does this resonate with you? • What would make it more helpful without overcomplicating it? • Are XP/streak mechanics motivating or too gamified?

I built this because I was struggling with some bad habits and couldn’t find a tool that felt right. Most apps I tried felt clinical, overwhelming, or focused too much on guilt. I wanted something super simple that actually made me want to come back every day — like a game, but without the pressure.
I’m 18, and this is one of my first real SaaS projects. I’d love honest feedback from you all, especially: • Does the gamified approach make sense? • Should I add social features or keep it 100% solo? • What’s the one feature you’d expect but don’t see yet?
Thanks in advance — and if anyone’s building something similar or has shipped solo, I’d love to connect.
