Show HN: StopAddict – Quit addictions with a clean, gamified tracker

1•skyzouw•7mo ago
Hey HN,

I made StopAddict, a lightweight app that helps you quit addictions and bad habits using a gamified progress system.

You get XP and level up each day you stay clean. If you relapse, you don’t lose everything, but your momentum resets, helping you build discipline without guilt.

⸻

Why I built it

I couldn’t find a tool that made quitting feel like progress instead of punishment.

Most addiction apps felt heavy, medical, or too clinical. I just wanted a clean, minimalist space to track my days and feel a small sense of achievement each time I resisted.

I’m 18, building SaaS solo to learn and help others while I document my journey.

⸻

Features • Track any addiction (nicotine, porn, social media, etc.) • Daily streaks, XP, and leveling system • Fully private and anonymous • Mobile-first, clean design

⸻

Roadmap • Milestone rewards • Optional daily reflection prompts • Community leaderboard (opt-in only)

⸻

I’d love your feedback: • Would this help you or someone you know? • Is the gamified approach motivating, or would you prefer a simpler counter? • What feature would make it genuinely useful for you?

Thanks for checking it out.

I’m the maker of StopAddict.

This is part of my mission to ship fast and learn in public. If you’re curious about building while managing discipline and dopamine, I’d love to chat.

Also curious: do you think a daily reflection or journaling feature would add value, or should I keep it purely as a tracker?
