Stressella 1.0

Stressella is a mindfulness-based stress reduction app that distinguishes itself by eliminating advertisements and in-app purchases, promoting a seamless user experience. It operates without the need for WiFi, requiring only a brief setup of one minute, which enhances its accessibility for those with tight schedules.

The core functionality of Stressella involves users recording themselves practicing cyclic sighing—a recognized technique for stress relief—for one minute. When stress arises, users can easily access their recording, which plays back while guiding them through the cyclic sighing practice for an additional minute.

A study conducted in early 2024 evaluated the app’s effectiveness and yielded statistically significant results (p = 0.2929), demonstrating an average reduction in perceived stress of 1 point on a 10-point scale. These findings indicate that Stressella is a viable option for individuals seeking effective means to manage stress levels.
