DARE

DARE is an app from BMD Publishing based on Barry McDonagh's self-help book on anxiety and panic, which encourages you to accept and lean into anxious feelings rather than fight them. You get guided audio for panic attacks, worry, intrusive thoughts and sleep, plus tracks for situations such as driving or flying and a mood journal. Some content is free; a premium subscription with a free trial unlocks the full library and extras. The approach overlaps with acceptance- and exposure-based therapy, but we found no published study of the app. Its privacy policy is contradictory: it says it doesn't allow third-party behavioral tracking, but also that it uses data to personalize ads on other platforms.
