Anxiety can make everyday moments feel impossible.
Thought Record · the shift
“I won’t be able to handle this.”
“I’ve handled hard things before. I can take this one step at a time.”
You don't have to push through anxiety on your own. MindShift turns the most studied, evidence-based approach for anxiety — Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — into simple, guided tools you can use the moment you need them. It starts with the skill the app is named for: noticing an anxious thought and shifting it into something more accurate and helpful.
Most anxiety apps are guesswork.
Real tools, not guesswork
Structured CBT exercises designed by experts — cognitive restructuring, graded exposure, relaxation and mindfulness.
Clinically proven
One of the few anxiety apps backed by published evidence — not marketing claims or guesswork.
Your data, your clinician
Export your thought records and progress to share with your own therapist or doctor. No algorithm sitting in the middle.
180+ countries
More than 2 million downloads across 180+ countries and all 13 Canadian provinces and territories.
Made in Canada
Built with the clinicians behind the science, reaching communities across the country — including the remote North.
Grounded in CBT. Proven in a clinical trial.
A 16-week clinical trial showed significant improvements in anxiety, functioning, and quality of life - making MindShift one of the few anxiety apps with published, peer-reviewed evidence.
Originally developed in partnership with Anxiety Canada. MindShift CBT is a self-help and self-management tool — not a medical device, and not a replacement for therapy or crisis care.
