When Sanvello shut down in 2024, thousands lost their anxiety support network. Stella offers what you miss—someone to talk to, CBT techniques, and support that remembers you—with a modern, voice-first approach.
Voice beats typing when you're anxious
Talk naturally instead of typing in chat groups. When your hands are shaking, voice is everything.
AI that knows you beats anonymous peers
No more explaining your anxiety from scratch. Stella remembers your triggers, patterns, and what's worked before.
Always available, never waiting for responses
Peer groups required waiting. Stella responds instantly, 24/7, even at 3am.
Still CBT-informed, just conversational
The same evidence-based techniques Sanvello used, delivered naturally in conversation instead of structured exercises.

Stella doesn't have community chat rooms. Instead, you get 1:1 attention from an AI that remembers you—no waiting for peers to respond, no group dynamics to navigate.
✕ No Mood Charts (Yet)
Sanvello had visual mood tracking with graphs. Stella does conversational check-ins instead. (We're building mood visualization—coming soon!)
