MindShift CBT
Best for: Guys who want free, no-subscription CBT worksheets and a plan-builder for anxiety and panic, not a full therapy replacement.
What is MindShift CBT?
MindShift CBT started life as a free tool from the Canadian nonprofit Anxiety Canada, which shut down in April 2025. The app didn't die with it — a company called 247 Labs Inc. bought it and kept it running, still free, no subscription, no in-app purchases. What you get: thought journals, coping cards, and relaxation exercises built on standard CBT, plus a plan-builder that targets your specific triggers and a tracker so you can see whether any of it is working. It's built for anxiety specifically — panic, social anxiety, phobias, generalized worry — not anger, addiction, or anything that needs a diagnosis. If you want free CBT worksheets without paying a therapist first, this covers the basics.
