WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

Take Care of Yourself

With these fitness and well-being apps led by women.

Make way for mental health

These mindful mental-health and self-care apps help answer a simple question: How are you, really? Rootd supports you through anxiety and panic in real time. Gently supportive chatbots like Yana, Wysa, and Woebot use cognitive behavioral therapy—structured, goal-oriented talk therapy—to help you understand what you’re feeling. Prefer a human? Paradym connects you with an IRL therapist. Or maybe you need a break from your device: The screen-time blocker Jomo sets rules you can stick to.


Find room to breathe

Making time to meditate feels easier and more inviting with these apps. Unplug and Simple Habit deliver quick, modern meditations for whatever you need in the moment. Mindllama guides you through calming exercises led by an irresistibly cute cast of illustrated characters. And Exhale offers a thoughtful self-care toolbox catered to the expansive experiences of Black women.


Get better rest

Scientists and your parents agree: Staying healthy starts with better sleep. Clementine blends self-hypnosis and coaching to help you sleep deeper and wake up more confident. SheSleep is a sleep app designed for women, addressing hormone imbalance and insomnia with a tailored approach.


Train on your terms

There’s no single way to move your body. The Underbelly offers hundreds of welcoming classes for every body and age. Gentler Streak is the compassionate fitness tracker that encourages realistic exercise habits while respecting your boundaries. Led by fitness influencers, Sweat, OWNU, and MWH deliver customizable workouts and strength training, alongside healthy recipes. FitOn is 100 percent free and offers star-powered, on-demand classes with expert trainers and familiar faces like Queer Eye’s Jonathan Van Ness. If you want a workout that’s a knockout, Boxx+ is a video-based health app that focuses on boxing-style exercises. Or maybe you want to slow things down? Try KIC Wellness, which blends guided movement, meditation, and values-based goal setting.


Prioritize your nutrition

Staying hydrated is easier and more fun with the App Store Award–winning water tracker Waterllama. For nutrition, Deliciously Ella’s smart planning tools make maintaining a plant-based routine far less intimidating, while Foodvisor offers direct guidance from professional nutritionists and dietitians.


Take charge of your health

From hormone health to pregnancy and beyond, these apps are built to support women at every stage. The App Store Award finalist Balance offers guidance and tools to help manage menopause and perimenopause symptoms. With Nurx, connect with healthcare providers who can prescribe a medication—and have it delivered to your door. Maven Clinic connects you with a range of on-demand women’s health practitioners via text or video, while the pregnancy app keleya offers daily content that’s tailored for expectant mothers.


Understand your habits

Reflection works best when it’s regular, and these tools help you show up. The journaling app Storia uses AI to weave together your daily thoughts and reflections to provide a big-picture perspective. When you just need to write things down, Clearful offers thoughtful prompts and templates to help you go deeper. The mood and habit tracker Shmoody helps you identify the activities that put you in a good mood, then reminds you to do more of them.
