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.

I love this app!
Its the best journaling app! I find it very useful, as well as aesthetically pleasing – after checking in daily for 4 months I’ve developed my emotional intelligence and vocabulary and learnt how to tell apart a few feelings that I’ve always mixed up. I’ve also discovered common patterns – what upsets me, when energizes me etc. I love it!
I also have one suggestion for improvement: I’d like to be able to search through the check-ins by keywords. Let’s say, someone’s name.
Hope you get this app
This is an Amazing Way to learn about your flow of emotions during the day and be much better at accepting Them understanding Them and accually apreciating Them even the difficult ones.
Very handy
Love the app. So great to just pop-in to the app and check-in on how I feel in the moment and give context to the situation. Very useful to have a vast selection of emotions with definitions to choose from. Gives clarity to the situation and ability to go beyond it.
Great
I love that there are so many different emotions to choose from, makes it easier to put my feelings in to words. But I’d like it if when I choose a second feeling, the same list comes up as when I choose the first emotion if that makes sense. It’s more didfivult to have to scroll a list if I can’t really identify what other feeling it is.
And another thing, will it come to play store?
Overall, amazing app with helpful videos and great design.
I love this app
This app is totally amazing! I have done 3 check ins so far but I wonder if I can do more then 4 each day
Hours of sleep & manual time
Absolutely adore this app! Would wish that the analysis showed hours of sleep separately and not chunked together (example most common feelings on 7 hours of sleep not 7-9). Also wish to manually be able to change time of day in case you forget to update and can do it afterwards and have the correct time.
Weather tracker pls
Would love it if we could track weather and season aswell. Other than that I love this app!
