Description
Are you struggling to identify, understand, process, regulate, and communicate your emotions? Do you find it difficult to connect with others? You're not alone. Every 1 in 10 people have alexithymia, difficulty, or inability to identify, understand, and express emotions.
Animi is a free app that helps you learn about your emotions, understand their causes, and manage them effectively. Based on the latest research on alexithymia and emotions, Animi is designed to improve alexithymia, emotional awareness, and emotional intelligence, and over time help you build emotional vocabulary and understand the nuances of hundreds of feelings and emotions. With Animi, the most precise and extensive mood meter, you'll be able to:
- Take an alexithymia test and learn your alexithymia score indicating how severely you are disconnected from your emotions
- Learn about your emotions and how to identify them
- Identify & log your emotions with the help of our tools (on a much more detailed and granular level than mood trackers)
- Understand the causes of your emotions
- Learn quick breathing techniques to regulate emotions (like cyclic physiological sighing, bhastrika, or resonance breathing)
- Learn how to communicate emotions in a productive way
- Journal about your emotions with the help of introspective, reflective prompts
- Tag your emotion logs and journals and get insights over time
- Manage your emotions effectively
And over the longer period of using the app:
- Reduce your alexithymia score
- Improve your relationships
- Enhance your mental and physical health

Disclaimer: Our mission is to build a solution that improves alexithymia, and that's also the reason why we collect the anonymized alexithymia test data, so we know whether the current app succeeds at that. Your sensitive journal data stays on the device. In the future, if there is a good enough reason, like a feature that might be very helpful and would require storing user data in the cloud, we might do so, but we'll let you know in advance about the change. Right now, we are only collecting metadata necessary to evaluate the effectiveness and improve the app. We don't share the data with any third-parties nor sell it or use it for any kind of advertisement.
What’s New
Version 1.1.0
We have added new tools to work with emotions after logging them:
1) Regulation - breathing techniques that shift how you feel to a different place
- Upregulate - for a quick energy boost
- Regulate - for focus
- Downregulate - to calm down and relax
2) Processing - a combination of journaling prompts inspired by techniques like Gendlin’s Focusing, Buddhist Noting, and Core Transformation that help explore the meaning, purpose, and message behind identified emotions
3) Communication - a guiding template helping to express emotions in a clear and understandable way
We have also added a notification system that you can enable to receive notifications prompting you to check-in with your emotions on a regular basis. We do see in the anonymized data that the more people use the app the more their alexithymia score improves, so these check-in notifications should be helpful in remembering to check-in more often.
We are also enriching the emotional encyclopedia with more detailed content for each emotion!
Ratings and Reviews
True Gift from Angelic Humans
Thank you so much for this app. It is changing my life, which is not a statement I throw around.
I found out recently I am alexithymic and neuro divergent. I did not know I wasn’t skilled at identifying my emotions. I certainly feel a lot of emotions, but to speak to what they are was/is almost impossible. I just thought everyone was this way.
Using this app has diverted several melt downs in the making. Can you believe that? I have worked to self regulate for years, but I have rarely, if ever, have caught a full blown melt down and redirected it into calm and peacefulness. Wow.
I’m so excited this is offered free to the public. This speaks volumes about this company’s efforts to give humanity the tools they need without gate keeping. Well done, amigo. Thank you so much.
Love, Emma
love it but too bright
i love this app so much, and i can tell so much thought went into this into making this genuinely helpful for neurodivergent folks like me. it’s so helpful for getting a handle on my emotions when i feel like i have no idea what i feel in the moment. i ESPECIALLY struggle with figuring out what my bodily sensations say about my emotional state, so i confuse different emotions at times with each other. but this app definitely helps with that.
however i just have one small complaint— i don’t see a setting to change the app to dark mode, and i would really appreciate that because the bright white really hurts my eyes.
Best App Ever
I realized I had alexithymia a few months ago and had been using a journal to help me figure out my emotions and deal with them, which was literally life changing. This app has made the process easier and is so useful. I am often surprised at how accurately it can guess how I'm feeling based on the body sensations I input, and it helps me understand myself better. Thank you so much!!!
