Objective: to identify the mobile applications available for tuberculosis monitoring and their contributions to its coping. Method: diagnostic prospection, carried out with a search on the App Store® and Google Play Store® platforms. Data collection took place in April 2021, using the terms “Tuberculosis”, “Tuberculosis” and “Tuberculosis”, in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Data extraction, organization and tabulation was done using the Microsoft Excel® 2016 tool. Results: the search resulted in 24 applications in the App Store® and 510 in the Google Play Store®. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 42 applications were analyzed and categorized into applications aimed at the general public and applications aimed at providing information to health professionals. Conclusion: the prospection made it possible to know the state of the art of applications for tuberculosis, identifying the importance of the interactivity of the interfaces, of the resources of reminders for the proper use of the medications and of the spaces for frequent doubts and exchange of experiences.
