About Rootd
Rootd is a self-help app for panic attacks and anxiety, made by Simply Rooted Media in Canada. Its main feature is a large panic button (the 'Rootr') that walks you through slow breathing and grounding during an attack. It also has an introductory set of lessons on what panic is, a panic journal, an emergency contact button and audio exercises. The panic button and the 'Understanding' lessons are free; the longer lesson series and other content need a paid Full Access plan (monthly, yearly or lifetime). The company cites a six-week University of Victoria study, but we could not find it published in a peer-reviewed journal. It is a support tool, not treatment for panic disorder.
