Breaking a habit is hard — and doing it alone can feel even harder. Whether it's nail-biting during Zoom calls, skin-picking while studying, or unconscious face-touching during deep work sessions, these small compulsions often happen in isolation. But what if you could bring a bit of your support network into the process — without needing a therapist or weekly accountability check-ins?

That's exactly why we built the new "Share Progress" feature in "Leave Your Face Alone (LYFA)".

Our latest feature lets you easily share your personal progress — like reduced face-touching alerts or streak days — with your friends, family, or accountability partner. With just one click, you can generate a private link to show others how far you've come.

It's designed to boost your motivation, encourage positive reinforcement, and (let's be honest) add just a touch of social pressure — which can work wonders when you're tempted to slide back into old habits.

Psychologists call it "social accountability" — the idea that we're more likely to stick with behavior change when others know we're trying. It turns out we care a lot about how we're perceived. When you know your best friend or partner might check in on your progress, you're more likely to stay on track.

And that's not a bad thing. It's not about guilt — it's about support. Sharing your progress gives your people a chance to cheer you on, notice your wins, and maybe even join the journey themselves.

Sharing your LYFA progress is easy:

1. Open the LYFA web app.
2. Go to your progress dashboard.
3. Click "Share" to generate a private link.
4. Send it to your friends, family, or accountability group.

You control who sees it and for how long. And it only shares habit statistics — never any webcam data or private visuals, of course.

Bad habits often thrive in secrecy. With LYFA's progress sharing, you flip the script — you turn habit-breaking into something visible, proud, and even social.

So if you've been quietly working on breaking a long-standing habit… maybe it's time to make it a team effort.
