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.
Great App
Excited to find this app. Helpful, works well and it’s free!
I love y’all, thank you
It has helped me so much you can’t even understand.

Absolutely fantastic! I enjoy the ease to record my emotions. The videos and tools are extremely helpful. Thanks
Actually free and helpful
A great well thought out app that provides resources. And is truly free.
Great app- new feature suggestions
Great app overall, very useful for tracking the transient nature of emotions. Consider adding a feature to create/add new emotions that are outside of the list already provided(for example I’d love to log the feeling of “nothing”, which is different from “empty” as “empty” implies lack but “nothing” is just a sensation with no attached connotation). And while I appreciate the four quadrants (high pleasant, high unpleasant, low pleasant, low unpleasant) I think we can push it further and detach from the label of pleasant/unpleasant- after all feelings are exactly that - feelings.

Needs a Little Work
Excited to find this app. The problem? It only recorded my data for three days. I have a screen shot showing I’m on a six day streak, yet I only show data for three days. Could not find app support. If you can look into this or want my screen shots, please contact me. In the meantime, I’m a little bummed.
