Stay calm when anger or anxiety takes over — and respond instead of react. Whether it's frustration that boils over, anxiety that won't switch off, or words you wish you could take back, Composure gives you the tools to ride out the storm and build lasting emotional control. It's built on the techniques clinicians actually use — CBT, DBT, and mindfulness — turned into something you'll reach for in real life. CALM DOWN IN THE MOMENT When you feel yourself escalating, open Composure for a guided de-escalation: paced breathing, grounding, and a steady hand through the 90 seconds where reactions peak. No judgement. DAILY PRACTICES (3–4 MIN) • Breathing — slow, six-breaths-per-minute paced breathing to settle your nervous system • Body Scan — release tension you didn't know you were holding • Thought Reframe — catch a spiralling thought and rewrite it • Urge Surfing — ride out a strong urge without acting on it TRACK WHAT SETS YOU OFF Log a reaction in seconds — intensity, triggers, and where you feel it with a tap-the-body map. Log the moments you regret too, so you can spot the patterns and break them. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Insights turns your logs into a clear picture: your most common triggers, the times and situations that catch you out, and whether things are trending calmer over time. Connect Apple Health to factor in sleep, exercise, and steps automatically — no manual logging. AN 8-WEEK PROGRAM THAT GOES DEEP 42 bite-sized lessons take you from understanding your anger to mastering it: 1. Understanding Your Anger 2. Emergency Tools 3. Rewiring Your Thinking 4. Communication & Assertiveness 5. Understanding Your Patterns 6. Deeper Work 7. Relationships & Real Life 8. Prevention & Graduation Each unit ends with an interactive real-life scenario, so you can practise before it counts. OPTIONAL AI REFLECTIONS Turn on Reflections and, right after you log, you'll get a short read on what may have been underneath the reaction and three things to try next time. It's off until you switch it on, and it only ever sends the single entry you just logged. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed. Your entries stay on your device — the only thing that ever leaves it is an entry you send for an AI reflection, and only if you turn that on. — Composure Premium unlocks the full 8-week program, every daily practice, your complete insights dashboard, and AI reflections. • Weekly or Annual subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase • Annual includes a 3-day free trial Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Composure at none against Rootd's shown. Rootd's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 38) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Rootd sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Composure sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Rootd holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rootd has 11K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Rootd ships an update weekly, Composure every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
