Academic stress is one of the negative emotional levels that can affect students’ physical, psychological, and academic health. Thus, there needs to be an assessment media that utilizes technological developments but can still evaluate academic stress levels effectively and efficiently. The purpose of this study was to develop an android-based assessment media (Stress Meter) that is able to measure students’ academic stress levels. This study used research and development methods. Data obtained were analyzed descriptively using Delphi technique for media acceptance test, and also Exploratory Factor Analysis test and Cronbach Alpha to test the validity and reliability of the instrument. The results of this study indicate that prototype of Stress Meter application has met the acceptability criteria and the instrument in it has passed the validity and reliability test. In conclusion, the prototype of Stress Meter application can be used by students as a media self-assessment and facilitate the performance of counselors in identifying the level of academic stress that students have.
