• Overview

  Freeme is a recovery-focussed app specifically for people with ME/CFS and Long Covid. Instead of just tracking symptoms, it guides you toward recovery using principles grounded in neuroscience. It's built on the idea that a dysregulated nervous system is the root cause of physical symptoms. The app teaches you how to calm your fight-or-flight response, helping your body heal. It was created by people who recovered from ME/CFS themselves, giving it a unique sense of credibility.

• How It Works

  The app offers simple 15-minute sessions. These combine easy-to-understand neuroscience education with practical exercises that get you out of fight-or-flight mode for good. It has the world’s first AI chatbot coach named Isla – she’s there to provide personal support and answer your questions instantly. There is also a dedicated section for flare-ups, which can be incredibly helpful when you’re suffering more than usual.

• Worth Knowing

  This app isn't just about managing symptoms; Freeme highlights that true recovery is possible. It validates your physical symptoms as real, but that the true cause is a dysregulated nervous system. You can try the first six lessons for free, and there’s a no-questions-asked refund policy for your peace of mind.

  Users love how accessible the recovery information is, and how easy, simple, and even fun the app feels to use. The neuroscience behind the app helps explain why symptoms happen. It guides users to find the things causing them to be stuck in a state of ‘fight or flight’ and gives them the tools they need to get out of that state.

The fact that the creators have lived experience with ME/CFS and Long Covid makes it feel like the app really ‘gets’ you.
