SIX - An Emotional Fitness App

SIX is an amazing tool that helps me track what my brain truly values. It’s a great way to reflect on my day and evaluate what truly I enjoy. And the fact that it’s based on neuroscience and true scientific measures, reassures me that information I am getting is accurate and meaningful.

I honestly feel like SIX understands my brain better than I do! 👀 This is the first legit neuroscience app I’ve found (or that exists?) that allows me to measure how my brain is reacting across my day so that I can discover the moments that matter the most to ME. I’m constantly on the go and can’t get into journaling (sorry, not my cup of tea) so their Key Moment feature has been a game changer for reflection and caused me to be a lot more self-aware of the things that I need to prioritize to make my day/week/life better. My Key Moments often happen during things that I know I get really into - like painting or solving problems at work- but other times it surprises me and lets me know that activity/moment was valuable to my brain and I should be prioritizing them more often! My guitar has been collecting dust and I finally picked it back up the other day and got a Key Moment- so I’m going to try to weave in time to shake off the rust and play more. Also the mood and energy forecast is super cool- it predicted me getting in a slump when I was not taking enough time for myself. Back on track now but now I know I can use it to try to circumvent low mood days proactively by trying to get more Key Moments! Works great with my Garmin which is now getting a ton more love- just had to pair it and now it starts collecting when I slap it on in the morning- no extra steps. Really really love this app and excited to see what else it can uncover about myself!

Increased happiness comes from having more experiences that bring you joy. Six has helped me recognize those moments as they happen. This has allowed me to consciously schedule more joy in my day to day routine.

The app helps me to discover what creates emotional wellbeing for me. I’ve been using it for some time now and it is great to see how early issues got sorted out. This feels like a new area, moving from fitness to true wellbeing.

I use SIX as a personal guide for my emotional fitness right on my watch. The SIX app effortlessly tracks key moments in my day. It some tracks by helping me discover what drives my focus and energy during the time of the day I wouldn’t expect it sometimes. I do know that the insights based on neuroscience, SIX can make it easy to understand myself on a different level and highlights patterns in my emotions and wellness. This app has truly boosted my self-awareness, helping me stay connected to what matters and motivating me throughout the day!

I started using SIX a little over a month ago and I love how low-effort it is to get meaningful insights about my day! I simply put on my Apple Watch and the app passively measures my emotional fitness throughout the day. It has given me a lot of self-awareness in terms of understanding what moments spark the most joy and engagement throughout my day so I can focus on having more of those experiences. I can’t recommend SIX enough!!

I love this neuroscience based app. It’s an easy, fascinating and transformative tool to support emotional fitness and well-being. It passively measures my own and my clients’ key moments of focus, motivation, and connection, providing surprising even startling learning moments every single day about what truly engages or disconnects us. With super UI/UE, the objective data the app provides and the simple, profound steps to Increase joy are invaluable. SIX brings me reflection and insight every single day, it’s like having a funny, wise best friend who really cares and gives seriously good advice as well. Bravo and thank you!

I’m obsessed with this app! It reveals what’s actually boosting my brain and body, even stuff I’m not consciously aware of. Sometimes it totally matches my gut feeling (so satisfying!), and other times it helps me find new things that either hype me up or drain me. This is my new fave app

How to stop this app

As a neuroscientist who's really into research, I'm finding this app incredibly useful both personally and professionally. A big thanks to Dr. Zak for making such a valuable tool accessible and affordable to everyone.
