What belongs in this list

I want to see how stressed I am during the day, including from my Apple Watch, so I can notice and respond to it.

Not here: heart rate display alone; manual mood or stress diary alone; breathing exercises alone; a general chatbot that could be asked about stress alone; air quality readings alone

How we pick

For this list we ask the App Store the same searches a person would, in several countries, and keep every app it returns. A model reads each app's listing and rejects the ones that only mention the use case. Every app that stays is scored out of 100 from four parts, each 0 to 100 and averaged with no weights: its App Store rating, how many people rated it, where the App Store itself ranks it for this list's searches, and how recently its current version shipped. An app showing Apple's Editors' Choice badge gets a fifth part of 100, which can only lift its score. Tiers follow fixed score bands: S from 90, A from 80, B from 70, C from 60, D from 50, F below.
