## What is Stateshift?

DON’T LET ANXIETY SILENTLY HOLD YOU BACK

Stateshift is designed to help you overcome your anxiety for good. The app rewires anxiety with a unique root-cause approach: instead of managing symptoms, you retrain the nervous system patterns underneath them.

It’s based on science-backed practices, over 20 years experience, and 10,000+ hours research.

It works for all anxiety: health, social, relationships, work and more.

It’s also designed to work for many anxiety types:

• General Anxiety  
• Health Anxiety  
• Social Anxiety  
• Performance Anxiety  
• Relationship Anxiety  
• Work Anxiety

MOST APPROACHES GET IT BACKWARDS

Most approaches try to fight anxiety symptoms with short-term band-aids. Stateshift helps you enter into a dialogue with anxiety, and skilfully engage with it to resolve the root cause.

### 5/5 — Brilliant Mental Toolkit

*2026-08-26*

I have struggled to defeat anxiety all my adult life. I have learnt through Stateshift that I need to not run from it but use the brilliant physiological tools on the app that help to create space in my mind. To down-regulate my bodies over response. I cannot thank you enough for creating an easy to use, scientifically proven app to rely upon when things get overwhelming. I highly recommend this !

**Developer response:** So glad to hear that the tools and protocols are working for you Racey!

### 5/5 — Wow, this is the real deal

*2026-08-21*

I can get quite heady around anxiety or feel stuck in a buzzing state in my body and this helped so much with both. A total reframe, changed the whole game almost immediately. I’ve done parts work, therapy, bodywork, breathwork and more for years and this was sooo much more quickly effective and taught me skills I’m still using a year later! I appreciate its simplicity and quick easy daily lessons and practices. Last thing I ever need was another thing that felt overwhelming or like a “to-do” I should be doing, and this just stripped everything down to basics, but also goes deep to the roots. I feel like every human should go have this app- major life skills. Thank you, Jonny!

**Developer response:** Appreciate the kind words and so glad to hear that the Stateshift practices are resonating for you. Keep going!

### 5/5 — Thank u

*2025-08-31*

It’s helped me thank u im going to collage and my moms leaving and i cant stop overthinking its help take the nerves off for sure.

### 5/5 — A powerful toolbox

*2025-08-30*

A wonderful mix of practices and learnings for self-regulation. Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Glitchy from start

*2025-08-28*

Cancelled my free trial because although I love the concepts and was excited to get started I ran into problems right away. Would not connect to my Apple Watch. When I tried to get a customized recommendation for my current state of mind the only result was ALWAYS vagus nerve stimulation. No matter what I input. Reached out for help and initially heard back but then nothing. Very disappointed

**Developer response:** The goal of Stateshift is to guide you through a journey to resolve your anxiety. To that end, we believed the wearables might help but (as you have noted) we ran into issues with them and thus removed the feature.

Our support will always answer in less than 12 hours, I expect the email might have landed in spam or similar. We've reached out to you 3 separate times.

### 5/5 — Relieved.

*2025-08-05*

I was looking for an app like this! I’ve found it helpful to down regulate amidst an overstimulating work day.

Point of feedback: I wish it had widgets to easily access favorite breath patterns.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2025-07-08*

I’ve been looking for a simple way to weave somatic and nervous system regulation into my day and this all hits the perfect spot. 

Working in a busy mental health job - this is a perfect way to top up self care and sustain compassionate ate practice.

### 3/5 — Great!

*2025-05-18*

I have never stuck to meditation, I think just because how easy it is to do it with StateShift and the fact it navigates you is amazing. The only thing I wish was that there was more options for ‚Journeys’ as I’ve done them all now.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your response! 

It seems really positive, is there any other reason you decided to give the app 3 stars? 

Also, if you email tech@stateshift.app (mailto:tech@stateshift.app) with your ideas for journeys, we'll be happy to explore more options here.

### 5/5 — Great way to recharge!

*2025-03-12*

This app is genius! As a yoga instructor I understand how powerful breathwork can be for overall health and wellness. There are so many quick and easy practices to follow. It’s become my “go to” when I’m low on energy and need a boost.

### 5/5 — Awesome concept and great execution

*2025-01-17*

I just love what they’re doing with this app. It’s also super easy to use and incredibly intuitive. The techniques are simple and incredibly effective.
