What it does

Rootd is panic attack & anxiety relief right in your pocket. This female-founded app blends engaging design with lessons and exercises (like a panic button, deep breathing tool, and guided visualizations), to help users find immediate and long term relief from anxiety and panic attacks.

Activate the Rootr with the press of a big red button. The Rootr will help you either face a panic attack head-on, or find comfort as quickly as possible. Find some peace of mind by learning about where anxiety comes from, how our bodies and minds experience panic attacks, and why they might be happening to you. Relax your breath, body and mind with the Breathr – a deep breathing exercise guided by Ron. Find calm when you need it with Rootd’s active meditation and soothing nature sounds. It is critically important that we treat mental health challenges with the same urgency as we treat physical challenges. Apps like Rootd bring attention to the need to address mental health…from rootd.io

    I built Squair because my phone was giving me anxiety - and it was also the only thing in my pocket when anxiety hit. The problem: 4 cups of coffee just to focus. Then the anxiety kicks in. Chest tight. Racing thoughts. Scrolling reels to "calm down" made it worse. I Googled "anxiety relief" at 2am and found box breathing — same technique Navy SEALs use in combat. First time I tried it, I felt the difference within 2 minutes. No crash. No pills. Just breathing. So I built an app around it. 6 months. Solo dev with a full-time job. 112 builds. 2 App Store rejections. Finally live. What it…
