About AngerApp

Growing up, I watched my father struggle with anger. He would go from zero to erupting in seconds, and as a kid I didn't understand why. What I did understand was this: communication breaks down, and people get hurt. That stayed with me.

Professionally, I've spent years as an Area Vice President of Solution Consulting, a role where staying calm under pressure isn't optional. When something breaks in front of a client, you have about two seconds to decide how to respond. I've read everything I could find: Marshall Rosenberg on Nonviolent Communication, Chris Voss on negotiation under pressure, the Stoics on why anger exists and how to make it work for you rather than against you. The philosophy is clear. The tools weren't.

Then I became a father. Three kids. And sometimes all three need something at exactly the same time: one needs help with homework, another is crying, a third is hungry. In those moments I'd feel the trigger rising and think: I need something that works right now. Not in three taps. Not after a loading screen. Now. Every app I tried was built for calm people. AngerApp was built for that exact moment.

Cody and I had been working together for years when the idea crystallised. We said: why doesn't something like this exist? We had the conviction, the research, and the partnership. So we built it. Anger itself is not the enemy. It's information. The question is what you do with it in that first second. AngerApp answers that question.
