WorryTree
Based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques, WorryTree takes you through a series of decision steps once you've noticed that you're worrying about something:
1. Asking yourself, what are you worrying about right now?
2. Asking yourself, is this a worry that can be resolved or is it something you have no control over
3. Moving on, either by making an action plan for your worry (either now or later) or finding ways to distract yourself from your worrying thoughts.
WorryTree also lets you customise which distractions work best for you, as well as categorise your worries so you can see patterns over time. You can also set reminders so that you don't forget when you have made an action plan to deal with your worry but can't do it until later on.
WorryTree is not a substitute for professional mental health care, therapy or advice. If you're worried about any aspect of your mental health, or someone else's, you should always approach a professional.
This updated release of WorryTree helps you note and manage worries. We're also working on further functionality so that you can link through to relaxation music and other distractions - watch this space!
WorryTree has been designed to work alongside your therapy sessions if you're working with a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. It allows you to record and categorise your worries so that you can discuss them at your therapy sessions.

I like the fact you can add a PIN. The UI is also amazing. I love the concept of this app and how simple it is to use. Custom categories are also a really good feature. I don't really have any criticism for this app, other than that it could maybe do with some more features? Like maybe some small things such as changing the colour scheme or background of the app?
This app is so simple, wonderful and functional at the same time. When I am worrying something, I just write it on this app, and then I feel much better. In addition, I also use this app as an "acceptance journal". For example, when I regret something I have done in the past, I write it here and accept it as a fact. Thus, this app accomodates "worry, regret, shame, and vulnerable".
I usually find it difficult to actually use the cbt techniques i learnt in therapy but by having an app for it really helps. A cute suggestion that I have for if the app gets updated: it would be really cool if like after resolving a worry their would be a visual of a tree growing or something like that
Was amazing but doesn't work anymore since the new update as doesn't let you resolve worries. UPDATE: Its now being fixed thankfully and now deserves 5 Stars Again. From being without this app I felt myself being a lot more negative and down and I couldn't find anything else that comes close to doing what this app does. Thank you for working hard to get back to normal :)
I love this app, it's so easy to use and most importantly, really effective. It gives me control and makes me feel like I'm proactively tackling any stresses rather than sitting on them and letting them get worse.
This app is really exactly what I need in my life. Its simple, but really well designed I think. I subscribed for access to the other features, but even with just the worries bit so far, it's been really helpful for me.
Only had the app a little over a week and it's already been so helpful. I'd already suggested it to a friend after only using it for a day.
Super simple yet super helpful. It helps me stay calm and realize that everything will be okay if I just take it slowly. It really deserves more reviews than it has, it's an amazing app.
I think is a cute concept, but it doesnt work that great in my computer. For some reason the backspce doesnt work, so I cant type like that because i have a lot of mistakes while writing that I need to erase.
Pretty good, not bad, it's been useful, really fresh as far as utilities in my life, seems to have a good purpose, kinda like it a bit, not too shabby, it's alright, pretty helpful, real krangle, skip the wizard, John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, his name was my name too
Thanks a lot. I make solutions for my worries and I read it daily before getting out of bed.It has really helped me reduce stress and love myself more.Sometimes the solution to our big problems is already within us,we just have to look a little deeper within..... Writing in this app is a good way to unwind and love myself more😊
Kindly add a box named "What can you do about it" above the "what are you going to do about it" box because it encourages brainstorming and shows us our available options to handle the worry. Good app overall
I personally use the gratitude journal more to get in the habit of recognizing the good in each day. However the actual worry process section has been useful on occasion - would definitely recommend
Is there a way to pay for the worry tree without going through the play store? Google has a history of making unauthorized payments with my credit card. Don't trust them.
Download the app and was working fine. Now I cant get into the app. Any suggestions how to resolve . Have uninstalled and reinstalled but page wont open
Just installed this app today. I love the simplicity of it and that you can set distractions for hypothetical worries and actions with dates and times for practical worries.
Could you please make it possible for users to create an account and log in? After an update all my data got lost and now I need to start all over. Otherwise, the app is great. I really enjoy using it.
Star for graphic layout and for idea. No stars for delivery and execution. not actually assisting at all. Too basic
Had to stop using as would not let me edit resolved worries without entering What happened details - but no box provided. Wasted a lot of time entering worries now I have to start again on a new app.
Just downloaded and used the app for the first time. Looks good and helped me think about my worries and formulate a plan of-sorts. Good luck and thank you for making the app.
The carriage return (enter button) doesn't seem to do anything if I use a different keyboard (Fleksy for example), Please fix it.
the app is great. But when I forgot my pin, uninstall and install again couldn't help reset the pin. Need help!
Very nice and calming app
Thanks for making a wonderful app! It seems like you have someone whom you can share your feelings (no matter how ugly they become sometimes) with, without any fear of judgement. I am actively trying to use it more.
This is the best app honestly for anxiety or obsessive thinking. It's very simple and has a calm design and gives the user a feeling of empowerment in their life. It would be nice if it had features in the side menu like gratitude, guided audios, sleep sounds/or a panic button for relaxation breathing like some competitor apps have. I am close to making this one my main app but I was sold on the relax/panic button with breathing exercise visuals in the other apps.
