Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Notes
Created in collaboration with the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, How We Feel is a science-based mood journal designed to help you achieve a more balanced sense of well-being. Its daily check-ins help you fully explore nuanced emotions by guiding you through an elegant color-coded matrix complete with explanations.
One of the most important apps in my phone but…
My most important app in my phone is my meditation app and this is the second one. Everything is perfect and promoting self awareness but just a few suggestions to improve: - Search button, where I can type a word or phrases “I met Lara and she told me she..” and that will bring my previous entry. That is useful if one needs to recall properly an experience but forgot the details and what he or felt at that moment in the past. This is not only an app that makes you more emotional intelligent but a beautiful record of ones life or a private detail journal in my phone. - Maybe if you havent added one yet: a month and year review? I love the week in review of the past week available every new Monday morning so it would be natural I would love also a monthly review or year in review. I am not sure if that would make things too complicated to summarize in all but I think all of us would really yo see that happen Anyways, Cheers for the company or group of people who made this app and made it entirely free Cheers, and Stay Frosty.
If ur a student i recommend this!!!
I don’t usually leave reviews for apps, but this app deserves it because it has helped me understand my feelings in a more logical yet compassionate perspective! I’m a teenager girl (that info was probably irrelevant to some of y’all lol) and at this age, it’s hard to communicate my emotions, but this app really helped me with putting a word to what I actually feel — other journaling apps that tracks your mood isn’t really helpful because of how black and white the way they describe emotions (it’s probably mostly popular because of the aesthetics ngl). This app really emphasizes on being specific with your words which is super helpful! And the way they ACTUALLY give solutions to your emotional problems (of course it doesn’t work all the time but it beats me having to research on how to feel better in qoura or reddit😭)
