April is stress awareness month in the US and Canada, and in particular April 16, 2026 (the day after tax day) is National Stress Awareness Day.
National Stress Awareness Day brings attention to the need for self care tools in people's lives, and apps like Rootd provide accessible tools to achieve lower stress levels.
In fact, a scientific study on the Rootd app showed a decrease in stress levels in participants.
In support of stress awareness, we are releasing two new visualizations to help users feel more motivated to proactively manage their stress, have an easier time recognizing their progress and success along the journey, and make more positive decisions when it comes to stress and anxiety.
Thanks to Rootd and a user's iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, stress and anxiety support is always accessible on-demand, and seeking that support can be a positive (instead of embarrassing) experience.

March 8, 2026 is International Women's Day. Rootd is created, bootstrapped, and led by a female founder who started on a mission to overcome her anxiety, and help others do the same.
Blindsided by what she would later discover was a panic attack during her last year at University, Rootd’s founder Ania started carrying heavy books and journals everywhere she went as a source of comfort. Her thought process in doing this was, ""okay, if the panic attack happens, I have these writings here to remind me that I'm okay and get me through it. It was at that very moment I had the thought that this should be an app.""
Rootd has now made its transition from an idea floating in the ether to a real, high functioning and life-saving app with over a million downloads. The journey wasn't easy being a female, the minority in the tech-driven world. Still, Ania pushed forward, knowing that Rootd would make a massive difference in the lives of millions suffering from intense anxiety.
