Wellzy is a free AI wellness companion that offers 24/7 support for stress, anxiety, low mood, and sleep. It pairs AI chat that draws on ideas from CBT and mindfulness with mood check-ins, guided breathing and meditation, journaling, and a therapist directory. Wellzy is not a therapist and does not provide therapy. It works on the web and iOS, has a free tier, and is designed to complement — not replace — licensed therapy and emergency care.

What Wellzy does

Wellzy gives you a private space to talk things through any time of day. The AI listens, suggests exercises inspired by cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, and helps you work through everyday stress, anxious thoughts, low mood, and sleep difficulties.

Who Wellzy is for

Wellzy is built for anyone who wants accessible, judgment-free support between (or before) therapy sessions — people managing everyday anxiety, stress, overthinking, low mood, or sleep, and those who want simple daily wellness habits.

Who Wellzy is not for

Wellzy is not a crisis service and not a replacement for a licensed clinician. If you are in crisis, experiencing thoughts of self-harm, or need diagnosis or treatment of a medical condition, please contact emergency services or a crisis line and seek a licensed professional.

How it works

Create a free account on the web or in the iOS app and start chatting; no credit card is needed. The iOS app adds reminders and voice features. Wellzy remembers context you share (for eligible accounts) so conversations stay relevant over time.

Pricing

Wellzy has a free tier you can keep using, with daily message limits. A paid subscription unlocks unlimited messaging and premium features such as voice conversations. You can start free with no credit card.

Privacy

Chat messages are encrypted in our database with Fernet (AES-128-CBC with HMAC). Wellzy does not sell your data, and you can delete your account and associated data at any time. Wellzy is not a HIPAA-covered entity and does not claim HIPAA certification; the Privacy Policy describes exactly how data is handled.

Frequently asked questions

Is Wellzy free?

Yes. Wellzy has a free tier with daily message limits, and you can start without a credit card. A paid subscription unlocks unlimited messaging and premium features like voice.

Is Wellzy a real therapist?

No. Wellzy is an AI wellness companion, not a therapist. It can suggest exercises inspired by CBT and mindfulness, but it can't diagnose or treat, and it doesn't replace a licensed therapist. Wellzy also includes a directory to help you find one.

What platforms does Wellzy support?

Wellzy is available on the web and as an iOS app.
