DD420 is a private wellness companion for veterans managing PTSD who also use cannabis for symptom relief. No judgment. No politics. Just tools. Your data never leaves your device. No accounts. No ads. No one is watching. DAILY CHECK-IN Track your PTSD symptoms using the same four clusters the VA uses — Intrusion, Avoidance, Mood & Thinking, and Alertness — in a guided, one-step-at-a-time flow built to feel less overwhelming. Rate each area honestly, log your mood and sleep, and note what triggered you. Takes less than two minutes, and your progress saves automatically if you get interrupted. Over time, your check-ins build a picture of how you're actually doing — not how you think you're doing. CANNABIS SESSION LOG Log each session with strain, method, THC and CBD content, timing, and — most importantly — why you used it and whether it helped. Select from 12 veteran-specific conditions including PTSD symptoms, chronic pain, sleep and insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, hyperarousal, and more. Each condition has its own curated list of effects to track. You'll start to see which strains, methods, and dosages actually move the needle for your specific symptoms. INSIGHTS Charts built from your own data. See your symptom severity trend over time, which PTSD clusters affect you most, how sleep quality relates to your symptom scores, how cannabis use correlates with next-day symptoms, and which conditions you use most. The more you log, the clearer the patterns become. COPING TOOLS Evidence-based tools organized by what you need right now. Breathing exercises, grounding techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, sleep visualization, and urge surfing — available any time, no subscription required. TOLERANCE BREAK TRACKER Set a break goal, track your progress day by day, and get coping prompts for cravings. Includes plain-language education on what tolerance is and what to expect during a break. 100% FREE Every feature in DD420 is free. Always. No subscriptions, no locked features, no paywalls. If you want to support development, an optional one-time tip ("Buy Me a Bag") is available in Settings — never required. BUILT FOR VETERANS Veterans Crisis Line: 988, press 1 — call or text directly from the app, one tap, any time. Chat: veteranscrisisline.net DD420 is not affiliated with the VA or DoD. It is not a medical app and does not diagnose or treat any condition. All data is stored on your device only.

You don't always have time for a full workout. And that's okay. Movement Pills helps you add small moments of movement to your day with simple exercises you can do at home, at work, or wherever you are. Choose a pill, do the exercises, and you're done. The idea is to make it easier to find opportunities to move without turning every moment into a full workout. ### Small doses of movement You don't need to set aside an hour to exercise. A pill can be as simple as doing a few repetitions of an exercise, standing up and sitting down a few times, or doing a short mobility movement. The goal is to make getting started easier and turn small moments throughout your day into opportunities to move. ### Set your daily prescription You can create a prescription that works as a daily movement goal. Choose how many pills you'd like to complete each day and use the app to keep track of your progress. Your prescription doesn't need to be complicated. It's simply a way to set a goal and remind yourself to make time for movement throughout the day. ### Create your own pills Choose from exercises available in the app or create your own. Build pills that fit your routine and the places where you spend your day. ### Discover what works for you During setup, a few questions help the app understand your preferences, such as how much space you have available and what kinds of movement you enjoy. The app can then suggest pills to help you get started. ### Keep track of your movement Every completed pill is recorded in your calendar. See your active days, keep your streaks going, and watch how small moments of movement can add up over time. ### With Zeps Zeps is the cheerful beetle mascot of Movement Pills. He accompanies you along the way and celebrates every small win, making your moments of movement more fun. There is no perfect number of pills to take. The idea is simply to find more opportunities to move throughout your day. Movement Pills is a tool to support physical activity and does not replace guidance or supervision from healthcare or exercise professionals.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DD at none against Movement Pills's shown. DD also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days). Movement Pills's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases 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. DD sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Movement Pills sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for DD against 5.0 for Movement Pills. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DD has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
DD ships an update every 4 days, Movement Pills every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
