Most mental wellbeing apps weren't built for queer lives. Voda is. Whether you're carrying burnout at work, stress, coming out worries, family conflict, a breakup, or the slow loneliness of not being fully seen — Voda is a private space designed around how queer people actually live.
YOUR PERSONALISED 10-DAY JOURNEY
Get a personalised 10-day journey with wellbeing practices drawn from approaches like ACT, CFT, CBT, DBT and IFS, tailored to what you're actually carrying right now.
Designed for the realities of queer life:
- Carrying minority stress
- Self-worth in unaffirming environments
- Coming out — at any age or stage
- Navigating the realities of transition
- Burnout, identity, and disclosure at work
- Repair after rejection, shame, and isolation
1-MINUTE DAILY WISDOM
Feels like a horoscope. Written by queer therapists. A 1-minute insight every morning, tailored to your needs.
5-MINUTE DAILY PRACTICES
Open the app, get a wellbeing practice you can do in five minutes. Made for the days you have capacity. And the days you don't.
QUEER MEDITATIONS
Meditations voiced by LGBTQIA+ creators. Find calm before a hard conversation, soften a triggering moment, and reconnect with your body.
GUIDED JOURNAL
Reflect with guided prompts and personalised insights that help you process the moment, see your patterns, and grow in self-awareness — whether you're working through a hard day, a big decision, or simply checking in with yourself.
FREE SELF-CARE RESOURCES
Access 220+ modules on coping with hate speech, coming out safely, and more. We are proud to offer the Trans+ Library: one of the most comprehensive collection of trans+ mental wellbeing resources — available for free to everyone. Whether you identify as lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, non-binary, intersex, asexual, Two-Spirit, questioning (or anywhere beyond and between), Voda offers inclusive self-care tools to help you thrive.

Using the Voda app has profoundly helped me become more aware and accepting of my queer identity. The app’s personalized affirmations, paired with actionable strategies grounded in evidence-based approaches, have strengthened my confidence and challenged unhelpful thoughts and limiting beliefs that I once held about myself. Its daily advice and mindfulness exercises offer practical tools that make it easier to buffer minority stress and cultivate self-compassion. I especially appreciate how the app creates a supportive, affirming space where my experiences feel validated and normalized.Through Voda, I’ve gained skills to better regulate my emotions and cope with challenges specific to LGBTQIA+ life, all while continuously affirming my identity. The tailored content and community-driven approach make me feel understood and empowered to implement changes in my self-care routine. Overall, Voda has been invaluable in helping me embrace and celebrate my queer self with greater resilience and self-love.
build bravery and focus :)

Even after using this app for only a few weeks, I have already noticed feeling more grounded and intentional. The journeys they send you on help you recognize your thoughts and all the voices that may want to have a say in who you are and how you present and interact with the world, and you have a chance to pause, reflect, and reframe. They help build inner strength so you can reshape your view of the world into one of boldness, acceptance, and being enough. They give you practical examples of little ways to start being braver, and there’s a space to give feedback if you have questions or suggestions on a journey. It’s clear that the people who created this app care deeply about those of us on the other side of the screen, and they want to create a space for LGBTQIA people to flourish. Thank you, Voda!

This means a lot to our little team. Thank you for such thoughtful words. We’re so glad the journeys are helping you feel grounded and braver :-)
Voda Is Functionally Counterintuitive
Futurandre
Downloaded this app after seeing it advertised on Facebook. As an LGBTQ+ person, was desperate to find some mode of self care/therapeutic maintenance for my ongoing social and disability related problems. Instead I found an app that, while helpful at first, didn’t make it clear that it had a paywall after the first day. Or as I saw in another comment, required the use only of random free services on the site. Or even more so the need to apply for a special scholarship to use the app for free.All of these factors indicate that the creators of the app care more about profit and their bottom line than the people who are needing their services for help. I needed more than the weekly visits my disability insurance covers for offline therapy. And navigating the complicated and difficult to read well system Voda employs caused me the kind of cognitive stresses I actually sought out this app to try to manage. This app is a very important service. And really needs to be more user friendly and less concerned with profit. And take into consideration the complicated economic and cognitive issues of its users.

Hi there again - thank you for this review. Accessibility and cognitive load are exactly what we should be getting right for our community, and you've shown us where we're falling short. We do offer a free tier and free Voda+ scholarships (voda.co/scholarships, approved for everyone), I'd love to make this right personally, please message me at jaron@voda.co. — Jaron
Confidence builder!

I absolutely love this app and I especially love it because it’s designed for queer people. I found myself feeling very low and decided what the heck let me try this. I’m so glad that I did! I’ve completed 6 of the sessions so far and I have learned so much about myself and how a lot of my insecurities are just negative talk in my head. Thank you for the confidence builder. I will definitely continue this app and most likely be purchasing a subscription. But as an FYI to newbies, there are tons of free things just to start, so try it out and see what you think. It really is a game changer. 🫶🏽

Your summer self-care just got an upgrade. We've updated our Free Resources with fresh content, now accessible without needing an account. Journaling has also been improved: share images directly from your phone and get audio note transcriptions. You can now look back through past weeks in Progress to see how far you've come, and also find recommended Practices after completing activities. Lastly, we've improved onboarding, performance on smaller devices and quashed some bugs. Thank you for being part of Voda!
