Budd Launches Mobile App Version of AI-Powered Mental Health Support Platform

Native app that makes evidence-based emotional support more accessible in everyday life is now available on the App Store and Google Play

United Kingdom, 16th Mar 2026 —Budd, the AI-powered mental health support platform, has launched a native mobile app. Available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, Budd’s evidence-based approach to mental health makes support more accessible to users in their everyday lives. Previously, Budd had only been offered on the web.

“We are excited to be bringing Budd into the mobile realm,” said Dr. Martina Paglia, Clinical Psychologist and Founder of Budd. “After getting a lot of validation on our approach through the website, we felt confident that a mobile version would provide an even richer experience. Mobile is where people live, in essence. We want our users to have access to our support, guided tools, and evidence-based techniques anytime, anywhere.”

Budd works by combining conversational artificial intelligence (AI) with clinically informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The app also offers features like guided reflection, journaling, exercises, assessments, and progress tracking. The app overall is built to help users better understand their emotions and regulate stress. “Our app helps you build healthier mental habits no matter where you are,” added Paglia. 

Users experience Budd in three distinct phases, which have the potential to lead to real, lasting change. The first phase has the app engaging in a dialogue with the user, a process in which Budd listens deeply to the user’s patterns and triggers, along with what’s happening “beneath the surface.” Budd then personalizes its interactions with the user based on their unique situations. The app creates a custom-tailored plan using evidence-based techniques like CBT, and so forth. The final phase comprises personalized guided exercises, daily support, and continuous feedback. “You’ll see measurable progress and build lasting resilience and wellbeing,” said Paglia. 

Dr. Paglia and her team made the move to mobility to serve the growing need for mental health support that fits into real life. As she put it, “Support should be available in the moment, without the barriers of scheduling, waiting lists, or limited access. This is the problem we are solving with the new Budd mobile app. The platform is available for people who want support on the go, in daily routines, and during the moments when they need it most.”

Budd came into being by processing millions of real clinical resources. Its technology ingested and analyzed over 100,000 peer-reviewed papers, 10,000+ hours of lectures and training, and 5,000+ psychotherapy case studies. 

Dr. Paglia is a clinical psychologist and entrepreneur whose mission involves combining psychological expertise, digital innovation, and scalable tools to help people better understand their emotions and build healthier coping habits. In addition to Budd, her other ventures span psychology, mental health education, and digital wellbeing. This portfolio strengthens Budd’s position as part of a broader vision for more accessible, evidence-based support.
