What users say about Animi

"This was far more informative than talking with a therapist for an hour to figure out what I'm feeling, so I would recommend it."

"I really like this app - it's going to be genuinely useful for me. The emotion compass is the best part. My wife agrees! It helped me to have a conversation I would otherwise have struggled with, by showing her the cards."

"The app is in my opinion much better than emotion wheels as there is so much more details/information."

Step by step

How it works

1
Identify emotional label that might fit your experience

Use one of our tools to find a word that precisely describes what you are feeling. If you're not sure about the exact meaning of the word, consult our dictionary of emotions that provides further context and identification clues.

2
Log the emotion with a journal about your experience

Introspect about your feelings and emotions, the situation that triggered them, and overall context with the help of guided questions. This over time helps you develop emotional intuition.

3
Regulate, process, or communicate the emotion

Use one of the three breathing techniques to calm down, focus, or get a boost of energy. Or figure out what exactly is the message behind what you're feeling, and express it to somebody else in a productive way.

Emotion Identification

Find the right word

Use either our Emotion Compass or Body Sensations flow to narrow down a few labels that are likely to fit.

Emotion Compass

Indicate how much energy you currently feel and whether it's overall pleasant or unpleasant and get a few suggested labels.

Body Sensations

Select where in your body you feel activated, and then swipe on specific sensations to refine suggestions.

Emotion Encyclopedia

Understand and learn emotional context

Specific emotions are tied to specific situations, bodily sensations, and other clues. Read about each emotion in our encyclopedia to better understand the full meaning and implication of each word. This further helps you find the right label to describe your experience even if your emotional vocabulary is limited.
