About the App
What is The Anger App?
The Anger App is a science-backed mobile application for iOS and Android that helps you manage acute anger and emotional stress. Its core feature is the Panic Button: one tap launches a personalized calming sequence in under 2 seconds, with no menus and no internet required. Beyond crisis response, The Anger App builds long-term emotional resilience through breathing exercises, meditation, guided self-hypnosis, a needs finder based on NVC/GFK, journal, analytics, and AI-powered personalization.
Is The Anger App a medical device or therapy replacement?
No. The Anger App is a self-help wellness application. It is not a medical device and does not replace professional psychological counseling, psychotherapy, or psychiatric treatment. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact emergency services or a mental health professional. See our Health Disclaimer →
Who is The Anger App for?
The Anger App is for anyone who experiences anger, stress, or emotional overwhelm in daily life: at work, in relationships, in traffic, or at home. It is particularly useful for people who want a fast, science-backed intervention available the moment they need it. It is also a helpful complement to existing therapy or coaching.
Does The Anger App require an account?
No account is required to use the app. If you want to create an account, you can sign in with your Google or Apple account, or create your own account. Some upcoming Premium features (AI chatbot, cloud sync, cross-device access) may require an account. We will always offer a no-account baseline experience.
Is The Anger App available in multiple languages?
At launch (October 1, 2026), The Anger App is available in English and German. Additional languages are on the roadmap.
Features
What is the Panic Button?
The Panic Button is the signature feature of The Anger App. It's a large, always-visible button on the app's main screen. One tap immediately launches your personalized calming sequence with no navigation, no decisions required. The sequence can include breathing exercises, grounding techniques, calming images, and affirmations. It works fully offline and launches in under 2 seconds.
Does The Anger App work offline?
Yes. All core features work without an internet connection. This is by design: anger doesn't wait for Wi-Fi. Every technique, audio session (after first download), and feature is available offline. AI features (chatbot, personalization) require an internet connection but degrade gracefully to offline mode.
What's the difference between Free and Premium?
Free (forever): Everything for the moment: the Panic Button with the complete calm-down flow, 3 breathing exercises (Extended Exhale, Physiological Sigh, 4-7-8), 4 quick relaxation tools (Category Sprint, Shaking, Wall Reset, Conflict Pause), 3 meditations, 3 hypnosis sessions, daily quotes, reflections & stories, and the private on-device journal. Fully offline, no paywall.
Premium ($9.99/mo or $49.99/yr): The whole toolkit + your progress: the full breathing (12+), relaxation (10+), meditation and hypnosis libraries including every new session, Sleep Sounds, the full learning course, and analytics. Cloud Backup & Sync coming soon. 7-day free trial, cancel anytime.
Founding offer (first 2,000): Lifetime for a one-time $200 or $24.99/yr locked at the founding rate for as long as your subscription runs.
Can I customize my Panic Button sequence?
Yes. You can choose which techniques appear in your Panic Button sequence and in what order. Once the AI features (Premium) arrive, you'll also get automatic optimization of your sequence based on what works best for you.
Are the meditation and hypnosis sessions downloadable?
Yes. All guided audio sessions (meditation, self-hypnosis) can be downloaded to your device for offline playback. Downloads happen over Wi-Fi on first access and are stored locally.
What is the NeedsFinder?
NeedsFinder is an interactive tool based on Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication (NVC / GFK) framework. It guides you through identifying the unmet need beneath your anger, because anger is always a signal of a need, not just an emotion. By identifying the need, you can address it directly rather than expressing it destructively.

Privacy & Data
What data does The Anger App collect?
The Anger App is privacy-first. All personal content (journal entries, mood data, usage patterns) is stored locally on your device and never leaves it without your explicit consent. For the website, we collect email addresses for the beta list (with consent). We use Google Analytics 4 with cookie consent gating for website traffic. NeedFinder and every other feature run entirely on your device, with no AI and no network. The app's only AI feature is Chat Training, once it launches: optional, off by default, under a Data Processing Agreement, and the provider does not train on your input. Optional cloud backup (Android, Premium) is encrypted on your device before it reaches Cloudflare infrastructure in the EU; only you hold the recovery code. See our full Privacy Policy →
Is The Anger App GDPR-compliant?
Yes. The Anger App and angerapp.io are designed with GDPR/DSGVO compliance as a core requirement. Our website uses a cookie consent banner: no non-essential cookies are set before you consent. You can withdraw consent at any time. Read our Privacy Policy →
Where is my data stored?
App data (journal, mood, usage patterns) is stored locally on your device. If you turn on optional cloud backup (Android, Premium), your journal is encrypted on your device and stored on Cloudflare infrastructure in the EU; only you hold the recovery code. On iOS, Apple's iCloud Backup covers the app if you have it turned on. Email data (if you subscribed) is stored on EU servers. Website analytics are processed by Google Analytics with truncated IPs.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. You can delete all locally stored app data by uninstalling the app. To delete your email address from our lists, click "Unsubscribe" in any email or contact info@angerapp.io.
