Website Mission

This Site Doesn’t Sell Anything. It Helps you Make Informed Choices.

This website aims to make it easier to access reliable digital tools for mental health care. It suggests a collection of mobile apps rigorously assessed for their effectiveness, safety, and accessibility. Each app has been selected through a structured process to help you make informed choices—without browsing through thousands of options in app stores.

The apps are grouped into six mental health and wellness categories to better meet your needs.

Finding The Best Options

There are around 350,000 mobile health apps available in app stores (1), but most of them:

• Do not show any scientific evidence supporting their claimed health benefits

• Provide little information about how they use your personal data

• Offer incomplete or inaccessible user experiences

• Are not available in French

For example, only 2% of mobile apps available in app stores are estimated to be based on scientific evidence (2), and just 9% ensure adequate protection of personal data (3).

This makes it hard to know which apps you can trust.

That’s exactly why we made this site: to make choosing health apps easier for you. We highlight the best apps, the ones that could actually help you, while transparently informing you about their strengths and weaknesses.

How an App Can Help You

A mobile health app does not replace a healthcare professional, but it can offer support that is simple, accessible, immediate, and confidential. Some apps can become useful companions in your daily life. Here’s how the apps featured in this collection may help you:

• Understand your emotions through guided programs

• Learn to identify thoughts linked to anxiety and stress

• Take a few minutes each day to recentre yourself

• Relax with guided meditations

• Track your mood and activities each day

• Practice deep breathing and track anxiety triggers

• Become aware of the links between your habits and well-being

• Practice recognizing the positive

• Move at home for fun and to feel better

These tools can represent a first step toward feeling better or be an additional support alongside ongoing therapy.

In Short

Each app on the site is described in a short summary that has been reviewed by healthcare professionals and patients from Québec. These summaries highlight the real value of the app for you—beyond the marketing claims of the companies behind them
