Anxiety Tracker helps you understand your panic attacks, anxiety, and mood — so the next wave feels less overwhelming and easier to handle. Capture what you feel the moment it hits, learn your triggers, and calm down with tools that actually work. Anxiety tends to come and go without a trace, leaving you wondering what set it off. This app turns those moments into clear patterns. Record each panic attack or anxious spell in seconds — intensity, symptoms, and triggers, plus what helped — then let your reports show you what's really going on. TRACK WHAT MATTERS • Log panic attacks and anxiety with intensity (0–10), symptoms, and triggers • Daily mood check-ins with sleep, activity, and social context • A private CBT thought journal to reframe anxious thinking CALM DOWN IN THE MOMENT • Guided breathing: Box, 4-7-8, and Cyclic Sighing • Grounding exercises to interrupt a spiral before it builds • Soothing relaxation sounds and gentle affirmations SEE YOUR PATTERNS • Clear reports on frequency, intensity, and triggers over time • An intensity calendar to view your whole month at a glance • Discover which techniques and medications actually help you CHECK IN WITH VALIDATED TESTS • GAD-7, PHQ-9, BAI, DASS, K-10, and SIAS self-assessments • Watch your scores change as you build steadier habits AI-GUIDED REFLECTION • A supportive chat that helps you name what you're feeling and think it through APPLE WATCH RESILIENCE SCORE • A daily resilience score built from your mood, panic history, and heart data — HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep WHEN IT HELPS • During a panic attack — breathe, ground yourself, and log it • Before a therapy session — arrive with clear notes and real patterns • Finding triggers — connect anxiety to sleep, caffeine, work, or stress • Daily check-in — a 30-second habit that quietly adds up Whether you live with panic disorder, social anxiety, constant worry, or you simply want to feel steadier day to day, Anxiety Tracker gives you a calmer, clearer way to care for your mental health.
