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.

Worry O'Clock

Schedule your worries. Most won't show up. Worry O'Clock is the first app built around worry postponement — the simple, decades-old behavioral technique for an overactive mind. All day long, worries interrupt you. Instead of arguing with them, you give each one a single line and drop it into a sealed box. The box opens once a day, at your Worry O'Clock, for fifteen minutes. Then the surprising part: when the box opens, most worries are already gone. The app counts them. That number — your Fade Rate — is your own evidence that most alarms were false. "It's in the box. Not now." becomes a reflex. THE DAILY LOOP (everything free) ・Capture in 5 seconds, in the app or via a Siri shortcut ・A sealed box: counts only, no rereading, no rumination door ・One 15-minute session a day: three questions per worry ・Faded / one smallest next step / let it be ・Settlement card with your Fade Rate, insights and science flashcards ・Patterns: fade curve, worry heat map, repeat-worry board ・Full history and search, custom weekdays, 25-minute sessions ・JSON backup export & import, daily Markdown export, streaks ・Face ID app lock A banner ad appears at the bottom of the screen. If you'd rather not see it, an optional one-time "Remove Ads" purchase hides it permanently. You pay only once; there is no recurring charge. The banner is the only advertising in the app — nothing takes over the full screen. No feature is ever locked: Remove Ads changes nothing except whether the banner is drawn. 100% OFFLINE No account. No cloud. No analytics. Your worries never leave this device, and notifications and share cards never contain worry text. Everything except the purchase works without a connection. Worry O'Clock is a self-help practice tool, not medical care, and it does not diagnose or address any condition. If you are in crisis or having thoughts of harming yourself, please contact local emergency services or a crisis line in your country.
