How We Feel is a free app created by scientists, designers, engineers, and therapists to help people better understand their emotions and find strategies to help them navigate their emotions in the moment. Conceived in conjunction with Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence and based on the work of Dr Marc Brackett, How We Feel helps people find the right word to describe how they feel while tracking their sleep, exercise, and health trends using HealthKit in order to spot patterns over time.
Founded as a science-based nonprofit, How We Feel is made possible by donations from people who are passionate about bringing mental wellbeing to the widest possible audience. Our data privacy terms are clear and easy-to-understand: all of your data is kept on your device unless you opt-in to send an anonymized version of your check-ins to be used in research to help more people.
Whether you are downloading this app in order to build better relationships, make your emotions to work for you, not against you, improve how you handle stress and anxiety or simply to feel better, How We Feel will help you identify patterns through daily HealthKit tracking and find emotional regulation strategies that will work for you. The How We Feel friends feature allows you to share how you feel with the people you trust most in real time, strengthening your most important relationships.
Filled with step-by-step video strategies you can do in as little as one minute on themes like "Change Your Thinking" to help you address negative thought patterns with cognitive strategies; "Move Your Body" to express and release emotions through movement strategies;"Be Mindful" to gain perspective and minimize the negative impact of misunderstood emotions with mindfulness strategies; "Reach Out" to build intimacy and trust, two important tools for emotional wellbeing, with social strategies.

Incredibly helpful in my healing journey
I've only used this app for a couple of weeks and it's already become an important part of my rutine. Being able to identify specific emotions, learn their definitions, see how they change and discover patterns over time is amazing. It's like learning to see the waves of emotions in detail and learn to ride with them over time. It helps you learn that emotions are safe, healthy, temporary and good.
Great app, and so grateful it's free!✨
Interesting but a bit limited.
Like the idea but find the list of emotions a bit limiting - would be good if you could create your own - maybe there is that function somewhere and I’ve just not found it. Also some of the words are very based on US culture and not terms used so frequently or with the same meaning in Europe.
Brilliant
How easy, intuitive, well organised and effective this app is. Having those tools and resources for free is just amazing. It helps so much! 🌸☺️🫶🏼🙏 I’m very grateful.
Superb
I’ve tried dozens of emotional journaling apps, none of which was nowhere near the simplicity, beauty and usability of How We Feel. The app has been thoughtfully designed from top to bottom. I’ve neen using it for 3 months, and this is the first time in my life that I’ve been consistently recording my feelings several times a day with a minimum time invested. And a fact that it is COMPLETELY free is mind blowing. Superb user experience.
Love the app but …
It has been crashing for at least a week. Hope the developers get that bug fixed soon.
