This paper reports on a one-month field study evaluating the feasibility, usage, and user acceptance of 'Oiva,' a mobile application based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for stress management. The study involved 15 working-age participants who completed brief exercises, with outcomes measured via usage logs and validated questionnaires assessing stress, life satisfaction, and psychological flexibility. Results indicated significant improvements in stress ratings and life satisfaction, alongside positive user feedback regarding ease of use and acceptability.
