Empathease: Empathy & NVC
Active listening & connection
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Learn Nonviolent Communication, then practice empathy live with real people. Free to start.
Be deeply heard, and learn to truly hear others. Empathease is an empathy and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) app: a complete course in active listening and compassionate communication, plus live audio sessions where you practice with real people.
Most of us were never taught how to listen, or how to say what we feel without blame. Empathease makes it learnable. One short lesson, and one real conversation, at a time.
LEARN NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION (NVC)
Build the skill step by step with a structured course based on Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication. You move through the core NVC building blocks:
• Observations without evaluation
• Feelings, and the needs beneath them
• Making clear, honest requests
• Self-sovereignty and self-empathy
• Healthier relationship patterns
Every module includes bite-sized lessons that take only minutes, quizzes that lock in each concept, and progress tracking with streaks and achievements. Learn at your own pace.
PRACTICE REAL EMPATHY, LIVE (AUDIO)
Reading about empathy is not enough. Empathease connects you with real people in live audio sessions, one on one and in small group empathy circles:
• Need support? Get matched with someone who is fully present. No advice, no fixing, no judgment. Just the experience of being truly heard.
• Want to give? Offer your presence to someone who needs it, and strengthen your active listening at the same time.
PRACTICE HARD CONVERSATIONS WITH AI
• Echo Arena: rehearse difficult conversations with AI roleplay characters, at your own difficulty level, before you have them for real.
• AI Tutor (Empy): get coaching and feedback on your communication style any time, day or night.
TOOLS THAT BUILD THE SKILL
• Giraffe Translator: turn judgmental, reactive language into clear observations and requests. Paste any text and watch it become NVC.
• Needs Guesser: name what you are feeling and uncover the universal human needs underneath. Use it on others, or on yourself for self-empathy.
WHAT YOU WILL GET BETTER AT
