Animi is the first app dedicated to improving alexithymia, emotional awareness and emotional intelligence
"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."
Use one of our tools to find a word that precisely describes what you are feeling. You can select multiple labels. Labeling emotions helps understand and regulate emotions.
If you're not sure about the exact meaning of the word, consult our dictionary of emotions that provides further context and identification clues.
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.
Use either our Emotion Compass or Body Sensations flow to narrow down a few labels that are likely to fit.
Indicate how much energy you currently feel and whether it's overall pleasant or unpleasant and get a few suggested labels.
Select where in your body you feel activated, and then swipe on specific sensations to refine suggestions.
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.
Expressive writing and journaling has been shown to be helpful in training the ability to detect emotions, as well as understanding and regulating them.
Browse through questions designed to help you write more introspective and insightful journals.
Tag each journal with however many tags you like, to later get insights about your emotional patterns with relation to different tags and contexts.
Take the latest scientifically validated questionnaire, get your alexithymia score, and understand exactly which things to focus on from the detailed test subscores. Repeat the test every month to track the progress of your emotional awareness journey.
Animi aims to help people understand, work with and communicate emotions, and through that improve wellness, quality of life, and deepen relationships
We only collect anonymized alexithymia test data and other metadata to assess effectivity of the app. Your sensitive journal data stays on the device. We don't share the data with any third-parties nor sell it nor use it for any kind of advertisement.
We incorporated Animi as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), as we wanted to clearly signal to potential users, investors, or other stakeholders that we are not motivated only by profit, but mainly by our mission.
We won the Social Impact Award 2022 organized by Impact Hub.
