AdviceBuddy offers self-checks and general wellness activities. It is not therapy, medical care or an emergency service, and it can't diagnose or treat any condition. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the US, or find a helpline in your country.
How it works
A few minutes at a time, at your own pace. You only ever tap answers.
Check in
Tap through a short set of standard questions about stress, anxiety and low mood. It takes about a minute, and there’s nothing to type.
See where you are
You get a reading from 1 to 100 for each, with what the level means. It’s a screening, not a diagnosis.

- Only you see your answers
- Your check-in answers and scores are stored with your account so you can see your history. You can download or delete them at any time.
- Employers only see anonymous totals
- If your company provides AdviceBuddy, your admin sees totals for the whole team, shown only once at least 5 people have taken part. Never your own answers or scores.
- No ads, no selling data
- We don’t sell your information, and advertising tools never run inside the app. Everything is sent over an encrypted connection.
What AdviceBuddy is, and what it isn't
It's a self-check and calming toolkit, not therapy or medical care, and it doesn't replace a therapist. If an answer suggests you may be thinking about harming yourself, it shows crisis lines straight away.
A good fit for
- Noticing how stressed, anxious or low you’ve been lately
- A few calm minutes before a hard meeting or at the end of the day
- Keeping a simple record of how you feel over time
- Practising a breathing or grounding exercise you already use
Time to see a professional when
- Low mood or anxiety has lasted more than a couple of weeks
- It’s getting hard to work, sleep, eat or look after yourself
- You want a diagnosis, medication or a treatment plan
- You’re thinking about harming yourself. Call or text 988 now.
When check-in results are high, we show a directory of independent licensed therapists. Are you a therapist?
