Pacifica - Stress & Anxiety- screenshot thumbnail

Stress and anxiety can get in the way of you living your life. Pacifica gives you beautiful tools based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relaxation, and wellness, to address anxiety every day.

Stress and anxiety are caused by an ongoing cycle of fear. Fearful thoughts causes physical feelings which cause actions. Your heart starts racing, so you think you're in danger, so you want to escape. Pacifica attempts to break this cycle using tools that target each of its components via Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Day-by-day, you'll learn to manage stress and anxiety at your own pace. We’re not about quick-fixes or false promises. We are about real progress, a day at a time.

TESTIMONIALS

"This app is not only beautiful and easy to use, it's also an incredibly useful tool that has genuinely changed my way of thinking when it comes to anxiety."

"I love that it randomly asks me how I'm feeling. I actually want to answer even when I'm feeling a little down. Selecting my mood and adding feelings to it is a really great reflection exercise."

“Thank you so much for improving my quality of life. I suffer from depression and generalized anxiety disorder and your app helps me SO much!...I know I can do better and Pacifica motivates me to improve my eating habits (and to drink more water and less alcohol and coffee!).”

DAILY MOOD TRACKER
Rate your mood (Awful to Great) and feelings (Happy, Anxious, Relaxed, etc.) throughout the day and see your improvement over time. You can add specific notes to these mood ratings too (the situation, the trigger, etc.) and review them via your mood history.

RELAXATION & MINDFULNESS AUDIO TOOLS
Calm yourself in moments of stress or anxiety using our audio exercises. Pacifica offers deep belly breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, positive visualization, mindfulness meditations, and more. These activities are set to relaxing soundscapes like ocean waves or thunderstorms.

THOUGHT ANALYSIS
When your mind is racing, record your spoken thoughts and learn how your distorted thinking patterns contribute to your anxiety. Pacifica helps you to think in a more balanced way which helps break the thought cycle (based on CBT)

DAILY CHALLENGES
What could you do today that would cause you a little bit of anxiety? Pacifica helps you to face your anxiety, one day at a time, and gradually work toward your long term goals via daily experiments (based on CBT).

DAILY HEALTH TRACKER
Set and track your daily health goals for habits known to affect anxiety (like exercise, sleep, caffeine, alcohol and more). Learn which of these trigger your anxiety based on your mood history.

PRIVATE GROUPS

It's Good, But... Not having the ability to export or analyze your own data is a huge drawback. They've said they want to do this someday, but they've been saying that for a while. They have my data; they're using it to give me my app experience. I deserve to have access to it for my own analysis. I would pay for this feature, but as it is, I will likely try a different method of mood/life tracking.

Charlotte Stones

Amazing Omg this app I never rate but this app I am. It is helping so much. so mental health people your not alone there is lots of different chat rooms that suits everyones needs and a mood thoughts and action part you fill in daily and it goes over it with you yeah 5/5. Cheers to founder :-)

Giselle Gevers

I am enjoying using this app as a way to learn more about myself. It is great for keeping track of certain patterns and ways of thinking. It could be improved by being able to track physical symptoms instead of just feelings/moods. To give a more holistic insight into one's health.

Anna Applegate

So helpful This app has honestly contributed to my self care so much. It helps me track the small victories each day. It allows me to track and document my feelings, which helps me to seperate myself from them. The mindfulness guidance can be invaluable. I definitely recommend the subscription.

Angela Walker

Nice app! Be mindful, relieve stress, and help yourself become aware. This program even reminds you to check in with yourself. I really like that there are so many feelings listed-has to be one that describes you at the moment. Has a place to journal and relaxation/mindfulness techniques. Well done. There's even a tracker...Nice feature.

EMMANUEL MERCED

Wow amazing application it really works folks😊 Awesome it helps you and in turn you can help others. Must download to try it, you will be glad you did, for any age and situations. Enjoy it, like I have with my family and friends.

Can't turn off vibrate Please add this option; I hate when applications force vibrate in notifications. Until Google allows overriding apps' vibration options, each app unfortunately has to include this option. Sorry but this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Otherwise I like it so far.

Pacifica Labs Inc. October 20, 2016

Thanks for letting us know about this annoyance. I'll see if we can fix it in our next release.

Alison Glasgow October 30, 2016

You have to pay to get access to certain audio files in the app that should just automatically come with it. Kind of a drag. But the healthy habits tracker and mood tracker work like a charm! I recommend it just for those features.

Laura Schanno November 22, 2016

Really helps When I've had a bad day and feel weird, it reminds me to check in with myself and ask myself how I really am. It's so cool that it will give you suggestions to feel better or remind you to write down the good feelings.

Rene Vest November 22, 2016

Very helpful This app is like your personal therapist. Tracking moods and habits really helps to locate anxiety and depression triggers so that you can help yourself. Introduces you to meditation and mindfulness methods and the support network forum makes you feel as though you belong to a friendly and caring community.

Tina Hayes October 9, 2016

Too pooped to get up Pacifica was recommended for my menopause relief. I get so wound up by the end of the day that the waves and other relief really help tone down the anxiety of the day

Lexy Rycroft October 18, 2016

Really helpful I have anxiety and depression and this app is wonderful it really helps in calming down anxiety attacks, keeping track of and challenging negative thoughts and helping you get through the day with cognitive behaviour therapy style action plans. Setting goals and slowly working through them is brilliant when my depression is hitting really hard. I love this app, to the people who made it-thank you so much

Sierra Balderas October 27, 2016

Awesome Self Help This is app is great. For me personally, my racing thoughts make it hard for me to clearly identify and express how I'm feeling, and this app helped me to sort them out.

pamela yeagley October 18, 2016

Pacifica is a great tool I love how Pacifica pings me to log how I'm feeling or for any of my daily goals. This free app does so much more than others without the annoying restrictions.

Lindsey Aspelund October 23, 2016

Very motivating and helpful! I look forward to tracking my moods and healthy habits with Pacifica. I appreciate that I can follow meditations, breathing exercises, and other activities to help with anxiety but so far just tracking my moods and creating healthy daily goals have helped tremendously.

Jennifer Maynard November 20, 2016

Has really helped me It won't replace meds and psych visits but it really does help when things get rough. I love to find a quiet spot and use the deep breathing or full body relaxation exercise to help me get calm or when I'm already doing good just to keep the good feelings flowing.

November 27, 2016

Don't see point Didn't find it useful. Not all stress relief tips work for everybody.

Pacifica Labs Inc. November 28, 2016

Hi there. I'm sorry you didn't find the app helpful, but did you explore the feature set? We offer a wide variety of techniques (like CBT, Mindfulness & Wellness), not just a single one.

Emma Brukner November 16, 2016

Everything I needed Calm, easy to use interface. The reminders are a great way to help you take care of yourself. The meditation and thought analyzing methods really help you calm down and start to turn your thoughts around. The goals section can make you feel great for taking care of yourself. This app gives hope when it feels like there is none.

Miss Vee October 29, 2016

I actually use it daily It has many different aspects inside of it. I use it a couple times a day.. i think its been helpful. I suffer from anxiety.

Kathleen K October 15, 2016

Really helpful for tracking my mood and anxiety. Lets you add notes and feelings within each mood rating. Also has helpful meditation tools

Michael Parsons October 19, 2016

Misery truly does love company! The personal "coping" part of the app has a lot of options to help you through whatever you're feeling and work with your energy level at that moment. Problem is, most of the features are locked until you pay for them. However, the incredibly relaxed and comforting forum is free and people share their experiences and reassure each other wholeheartedly in a mostly anonymous environment. What I'm saying is, I have awful social anxiety and somehow this board manages to be helpful and not scary all at once!

Michael Crotty October 21, 2016

This app is a game changer! It keeps track of your daily routines, activities, thoughts, habits and guides you to a better way of thinking day by day with an interactive interface based on CBT and positive reinforcement tools. There is also an online community that is the most positive and supportive I have ever encountered! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Cutiepie1251 Official November 8, 2016

Banned Whenever someone doesn't like you or wanna hear what you have to say they can easily report you and then Pacifica says "your account is currently prohibited from commenting and etc." That's some bull right there and it needs to be fixed. I never did anything to deserve that no profanity or inappropriate behavior NOTHING. Like wtf

Pacifica Labs Inc. November 8, 2016

You can email us at info@thinkpacifica.com and we'll review your account. That said, it takes multiple reports from multiple users for an account to be prohibited from participating in the communities. This is in place to protect everyone.

Samantha Hudgins October 17, 2016

Awesome all in one app!! Love this tool it has all i need in one spot! Only change i would make is adding a feature where you can print your data or email it. I introduced this app to my friend and she said she wishes she could share her info with her doctor. I think it would make it perfect and therapists and psychologists could even use it in their studies.

christopher Lopez October 25, 2016

Goodbye anxiety I suffer of anxiety this app it's outstanding. You feel like your body it's very light . I recommended .

Missy ___ October 18, 2016

Wonderful app! This finally has me tracking my moods, which i've needed to do forever but could never stick to. I love the progress report and the fact that you can still get tons of use out of this app without having to pay extra

Laura Nicholson October 26, 2016

Amazing for CBT and awareness App makes you aware of your feelings and possible reasons. It is great for inbetween psych appts. The breathing section is perfect

Swechhya Rajbhandari October 9, 2016

Love it!!! Love this app. It is CBT centered and super helpful. It helps keep your thoughts in check and monitor your distorted thinking and also helps you stay mindful of your mental and physical health. Genius!!

Noelle Martinez November 2, 2016

Helpful app for tracking my moods This app is straight forward, user friendly, that allows you to track your moods. Along with that there are short guided meditations and journaling options. I like that I can track my habits and mood within one app.

Glass Mimi October 30, 2016

requires email sign up I really wanted to try this but hate giving my email to every app in order to sign up.

Pacifica Labs Inc. October 31, 2016

Hi, we understand that this can be frustrating but we require email signup because your account can be used on both the web and via the mobile applications - either for iOS or Android. This is the only way to unify your account across different platforms.

Alyss Shisler November 24, 2016

Damn good! Wish it had a list of activities that I could utilize (like their list of emotions) and that their was some more gradation on their wheel of emotion, but otherwise this is great!

Ian Hurst November 15, 2016

Have to signup Just to open the app. Sign up for what and why is not explained so I will delete without using it

Pacifica Labs Inc. November 19, 2016

Account creation makes it possible to preserve your data across the entire platform (iOS, Android & Web) as well as when changing devices. I'm sorry this wasn't clearer.

Fiona Lotti October 21, 2016

An enormous help This app brings out my competitive streak and channels it towards building better self-care habits. It has been a huge help, and I'm glad I have it.

wariyoshidirector November 6, 2016

Useful Even though it's an electronic diary, it actually feels really nice that it asks you how you're feeling every so often. You have someone to talk to

Jane Abalakov October 20, 2016

Some small tweaks I'd like to see In meditation, I'd love to see a simple mantra for monitoring breathing: "in... out..." Also, I'd like to have the ability to edit a mood's comments after I have entered it.

Avonlea Gardner November 10, 2016

Super helpful I love this app, and suggest it to people often. I don't like the new habits update. It takes way too long to record my habits now. Please change it back

Kristen Joy-Correll October 13, 2016

This is amazing!!!! Perfect app for literally anybody who wants to take better care of themselves. Can be so personalized and I think that's what makes it stand out from other apps! My favourite app on my phone :)

Megan Auffredou November 3, 2016

Best thing! The meditation helps my anxiety so much & calms me !

Marsha Blizard October 7, 2016

Fantastic Great app! I love the customization ability :) it really helps me keep track of things.

Ann Brown November 4, 2016

Great App I find this especially helpful with tracking unhealthy patterns and how those affect me, it's also a great app for anyone wishing to improve with mindfulness meditations
