I have the same problem, except I’ll sometimes end up chewing them so much that one finger will bleed in-between the finger and nail on the side. In fact, I’m pretty sure I have dried blood under one of my fingernails.
I used be a an absolute fiend for biting my nails. What fixed it was buying a little Swiss army knife nail set. It’s got a wee little nail clippers and file. It fulfilled the need for nervous movement.
Biting my nails. Been doing it for as long as I can remember. I think I stopped once but went back to it as soon as I realized I stopped.

Friend of mine solved this by using a sort of nail polish that tastes super bitter. Got her to keep her fingers out of her mouth.
My parents got me one of those when I was a kid. It didn’t help me at all, back then at least :(
Glad it worked for her though!
There is invisible nail polish that works well.
It makes nails taste horrible, and you will be reminded even if you bite your nails absent-mindedly.
Should give it a try if you really want to stop.
