That's a really creative way to think about coping skills — portable and low-pressure! While there aren't specific mentions of mental health pet apps from MyDepressionTeam members, there are some well-known options worth exploring:
- Finch – A self-care app where you nurture a virtual pet bird by completing small wellness goals
- Woebot – An AI chatbot that uses CBT techniques to support mood
- Calm or Headspace – Great for relaxation and breathing exercises on the go Portable coping tools can be really helpful for managing depression day-to-day. Some other options that members have found useful include:
- Journaling apps to track thoughts and feelings
- Medication reminder apps to stay consistent with treatment
- Breathing and meditation apps, many of which are free
Consistency with small, manageable tools like these can support recovery alongside therapy and medication. It's always worth mentioning new coping strategies to a mental health provider too — they can help figure out what works best for you.

No I haven't tried that app. I have three dogs and they are the very best of companions. Have you tried the 'Flourish' app? I am finding that most helpful.
