A Clear Path to Calm
When your mind is racing, you don't need a library of articles or a complicated menu. You need a lifeline. Anxiety Monster is a radically simple companion for your hardest moments, built on a powerful truth: You are not your feelings.
Match Your Feeling
When an emotion like Anger, Anxiety, Sadness, or Shame arrives, you simply match it to its monster on the home screen. This simple act of acknowledgment is the first step toward relief.
Get the Right Tools
Matching your feeling instantly unlocks a workbench of targeted, visual tools designed specifically for that emotion. These aren't generic meditations; they are interactive exercises that help you process the feeling in a healthy, immediate way.

Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
How is this different from other mental health apps?
When your mind is racing, you don't need a library of articles or a complicated menu. We give you a radically simple path: Match your feeling (Angry, Anxious, Sad, Ashamed), get the right tools for that emotion, or talk it through with AI. Built for a brain in distress.
What are the emotional monsters?
The monsters are visual representations of Anger, Anxiety, Sadness, and Shame. By giving your feeling a face, you can separate from the overwhelm and see the emotion as a temporary visitor, not a permanent part of you.
How does the app work?
Match Your Feeling: Simply tap the monster that matches your emotion. Get the Right Tools: Unlock targeted, interactive exercises designed for that specific feeling. Talk It Through: Use our compassionate AI companion to explore the root cause and find lasting clarity.
What tools do I get for each emotion?
Anger: Techniques to safely release pressure and find your center. Anxiety: Grounding exercises to quiet the "what-ifs" and return to the present. Sadness: Gentle interactions to find comfort without being consumed. Shame: Self-compassion practices to untangle from harsh self-judgment.
How does the AI companion work?
Our AI helps you talk through the specific problem behind the feeling, gain new perspective, and find clarity. Premium users get Intelligent Summaries that turn each conversation into "Issue + Resolution" cards—creating your personal library of proven solutions.
Do I need to track my feelings every day?
No tracking required. Each day is a fresh start. The app meets you where you are, offering a clean slate to acknowledge whichever feelings visit you today. Use it in the moment when you need relief.
What's included in the free version?
You can acknowledge all four monsters and use a core set of visual tools for each emotion, forever free. Premium ($2.99/month or $29.99/year) unlocks the AI Companion, Intelligent Summaries, and the full tool library.
Is this app a medical treatment?
No. Anxiety Monster is a companion for your hardest moments, not a replacement for professional care. If you're in crisis, please contact a healthcare provider or call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
How quickly will I feel better?
Relief can be immediate. The simple act of acknowledging your feeling by matching it to its monster is the first step toward calm. The tools are designed for in-the-moment relief, while the AI companion helps you build lasting resilience.
