ReachOut WorryTime

Tap a star to rate

ReachOut WorryTime tackles anxiety by teaching you to contain worrying. You designate a specific time window to consciously think through anxious thoughts, then redirect worry attempts at other times. The app's premise comes from clinical anxiety research showing that trying to suppress worry often backfires.

Built by ReachOut, an Australian mental health nonprofit, it's ideal for people who ruminate or spiral. If worry consumes your day, setting boundaries around when you engage with it can reduce overall anxiety. The approach pairs well with other CBT techniques and works best for generalized anxiety or intrusive thoughts.
