StopAddict – I built an app to help people quit their addictions

Hacker News

Hi HN, I built StopAddict, a simple web app designed to help people track and overcome their addictions — whether it’s porn, gambling, sugar, social media, or anything else. The concept is straightforward: each day you stay clean, you earn XP. Over time, you level up. The goal is to turn the recovery process into something measurable and motivating, without judgment. What it offers: • Daily streak and XP system • Visual progress tracking • Level progression to build momentum • Personalized addiction tracking • Mobile-friendly and anonymous There’s no sign-up required. You can just visit the site, choose what you want to quit, and start rebuilding day by day. I created StopAddict after struggling with some habits myself. I wanted something lightweight, clean, and rewarding — not a complex app or a clinical tracker. Live here: https://www.stopaddict.net/ Happy to answer questions, take feedback, or share how it was built. Thanks for reading.
