We’ve got great news for you today. After over 6 months in our labs, our app is now available for download! We took great care to create something valuable and beautiful that is completely anonymous and easy to use.

Everything is done with only a few taps

We designed the app the way that it takes only a few taps to track your anxiety as accurately as needed with:

  • Effortless mood selection
  • Intuitive anxiety level slide bar
  • Auto-complete symptoms repository
Track your anxiety with only a few taps

Keeping track of your mood swings, anxiety levels and other symptoms like irritability, insomnia, or increased heart rate on a day-to-day basis lets you connect those data points to events and circumstances you experienced during your day. This activity will help you see what triggers your anxiety and allow you to prepare for challenging situations. If you accidentally skip some days, you can easily fill it in afterwards by using the calendar function.

Voice memo instead of typing

Research shows that journaling is key to understanding and managing your emotional health. We found that the best way to stick to it was by using audio recordings instead of typing or writing things down. With the voice memo feature, keeping detailed records of how you’re feeling on any given day has never been easier.

You can also use it to describe a challenging moment as it occurs. The more details you record about an anxiety attack or intrusive thoughts the better you can be supported or helped.

Revisit your recordings anytime

Most of us don’t remember accurately how we felt two weeks ago, what we did, where, with whom and why. Easily scroll through your journal, revisit your recordings and dig deeper into your experienced symptoms anytime, anywhere. Your doctor or therapist will love it!

Set personalized goals

Start improving your condition by setting small and achievable goals. Once you select the activity and frequency the reminder function will help you build your desired routine.

A good start can be one of the tasks given by your healthcare provider or one of the breathing exercises for stress relief from Kicks.

Get in-the-moment support

Anxiety episodes can strike out of the blue. With our carefully curated “kicks” at your fingertips you’ll always be prepared. The selection is intentionally kept manageable to avoid paradox of choice and provide you with immediate support. The guided audio sessions will walk you through your most difficult situations and keep you company wherever you are and for as long as you want — and nobody will notice.

Use the power of color

Research suggests that the color we surround ourselves with in our daily lives has a profound effect on our mood and on our behavior. That’s why we offer you a broad range of colors and a beautiful dark mode so you can choose a color that makes you feel comfortable. From orchid to chocolate, from orange to olive or cornflower blue — we’ve got you covered.

Get feedback in real-time

To give you feedback on the effectiveness of your sessions simply connect your Apple Watch. You’ll be able to watch your heart rate go down as you progress with your breathing exercises.

This will help to keep you motivated and show you what works best for your individual needs.

Every little step counts

You can unlock your stats from the fourth entry onwards. Discuss your insights with your therapist to get treatment based on real data. It may be difficult to see incremental changes, because progress is not linear. You don’t recover all in a day, but you will recover daily.

Your data is yours alone

We grant your anonymity: No login or any personal data is required to use the app. You can speak freely and share your insights and recordings only with people you trust.

100% free for early members

We want you to focus on your well-being without getting interrupted by ads — early members get full access at zero costs for life.
