Mood Tracker app for iPhone – Mood tracker allows users to monitor their moods on six pre-loaded scales (anxiety, stress, depression, brain injury, post-traumatic stress, general well-being). Custom scales can also be built.
Breathe2Relax is a free app available for iphone and android. It helps you to regulate your breathing, which decreases anxiety and prevents panic. Recommendation for use: The app will walk you through the initial set up based on your breathing rate. After that, aim to adjust the app for a breathing rate slightly slower than your current rate. It helps to make the exhalation longer than the inhalation. Less is more: if you try to breathe too slowly, your anxiety is likely to increase.
