## What is WorryTree?

Overthinking? Worry on a loop? WorryTree helps you write the worry down, check whether you can do anything about it, and then act on it or let it go.

Formerly Luma: same app, same account, same tools.

Named best CBT app by Marie Claire (2023).

HOW IT WORKS
• Write it down: get the worry out of your head and into words.
• Run it through the worry tree: can you do something about this?
• Yes: make a short plan and choose one step to start with.
• No: let it go for now, with a walk, some music or a short sensory practice.
• Look back: see which worries actually happened, and what helped before.

ALSO IN WORRYTREE
• Notice thinking traps: check a thought against 8 common thinking styles
• Gratitude, acceptance and uncertainty journals
• Short sensory practices for in-the-moment calm
• Worry time reminders
• Works across your devices

BUILT ON CBT AND ACT
The worry tree is a widely used technique from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). WorryTree also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Many people use it alongside therapy, and many reviewers say a therapist or CBT course recommended it.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-03-30, version 5.0.40*

I was recommended this app on a course I’m doing. It’s been helpful with my anxiety & trying to stop things from overwhelming me.

### 4/5 — Request: Clear indicator of free vs paid services

*2026-02-03*

Interesting app. Much needed. I wish the team best of luck with this valuable project.  

But the first hurdle is actually navigating the app as a new user. Everything I click on makes the subscription window pop up. Most apps will put a little star icon in the corner on paid-exclusive features. Without it, I’m frustrated before I even test out the available features. Please consider this minor but important change.

### 5/5 — Much needed support system

*2025-12-19, version 5.0.35*

I cannot recommend Luma enough to those who suffer anxiety and overthinking as part of our myriad of diagnoses. In a world where we lack NHS support we deserve plus have to deal with the current demonisation of mental illness in the media I find some genuine empathy and compassion here. Louise manages to make me feel less alone and provides words of comfort in such difficult times. Of course it is not a cure or a solution but a damn fine support system to lean on and we all need that?

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-12-14, version 5.0.35*

Luma is perfect for getting thoughts out of your head. I’ve been using it for a few years now. It’s reassuring to know it’s there for when anxiety creeps back.

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2025-12-11, version 5.0.35*

I started only 3 days ago, so I can‘t say much.    Luma helps me to look at my worries, to describe them and to get through the day.  It sounds trivial, but it works!

### 5/5 — Great app for overthinker

*2025-12-10, version 5.0.35*

Found this app recently and now use it daily. Super useful for managing my overthinking brain.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-12-09, version 5.0.35*

Recommeded via CBT group when this was Worry Tree - now Luma. Very useful and well structured and presented. Helped me during an extremely difficult time and I still dip in to practise. Recording worry helped reduce ruminating and enabled me to see patterns. The gratitude practise helped enormously and having the reminder each day brought me into a habit that has really evolved my outlook. I also enjoyed the sensory practises and this helped me during acute epsiodes of overwhelm. The app has been developed futher since I first started using it and the additon of values and goals is excellent. A quality app which is a cut above in my opinion; accessible, easy to navigate, lovely to look at and simple, but very, very effective if you use it. Thank you for creating a truly useful and beneficial self help tool, rather than yet anopther app - this one delivers!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-02, version 5.0.35*

Great app. Very well designed and structured and I find it very useful to think through any troubles I have. Has made a very positive difference to me when required.

### 5/5 — Review

*2025-12-01, version 5.0.35*

Really helps with anxiety and overthinking. Allows you to access tools to control something that’s been consuming you for a while.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2025-12-01, version 5.0.35*

I have found this app to be simple to use and extremely helpful for giving me the tools to cope especially anxiety. Thank you
