Best Eating Disorder Recovery Apps

Eating disorder recovery apps are companions to professional treatment, never replacements for it — eating disorders have among the highest medical risks of any mental health condition and deserve specialist care. We review each app on how safely it supports recovery. If you are struggling, the National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline can help you find treatment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best ed recovery right now?+

Recovery Record earns our highest rating in this category (4.4/5). Recovery Record is the standard-bearer for eating disorder recovery apps: meal, thought, and feeling logs designed around recovery (no calorie counts, no weight focus), syncing directly with your therapist or dietitian between sessions. Free for individuals, clinically informed, and widely used in real treatment. It works best as what it was built to be — a bridge to a professional team.

Is there a good free option?+

Yes — Recovery Record offers a usable free tier. The treatment-team companion — recovery-oriented logging that your clinician actually sees.

Are these apps a replacement for therapy?+

No. These are wellness and support tools. They can help with everyday stress, sleep, and mood, but they are not a substitute for professional care. If you are struggling, a licensed professional can help; in a crisis, contact your local emergency number or, in the US, call or text 988.
