The Nick Lowery
Companion App
Measures mental fitness over time, to help guide interventions that improve mental fitness.
Free · No Hidden CostsHow It Works
The app is built on the Self-Management Self-Test, a scientifically validated assessment that helps you monitor feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, fatigue, and exhaustion. A few honest minutes, as often as you like.
Start with a simple question: today I feel. Then answer five short, research-backed questions about how you're managing.
The app turns your answers into a clear picture of your mental fitness, and raises awareness when challenges may be present.
Regular check-ins build a picture of your progress, helping guide the changes and support that improve mental fitness.
Five Aspects of Mental Wellness
The Self-Management Self-Test looks at the whole picture:
“Part of being alive is not running from the butterflies. It's about embracing the nervousness and the anxiety of life. I performed in front of 80,000 people with nowhere to hide, and I learned that mental fitness is trained the same way a kick is: with honest attention, every day. This app is that daily attention, for anyone who wants it, free.”
The app grew from the same conviction as Nick's memoir, Naked and Alone with 80,000 People: that pressure, fear, and doubt can be faced, trained, and turned into strength. You can hear Nick read the book's passages on mental health on our quiet listening page, or get the book.
The Companion App is a self-monitoring tool, not a diagnosis or a substitute for professional care. If you're struggling right now, please don't carry it alone: in the United States you can call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, any hour of any day.
