About this app

Are you struggling with emotions? Do you find it difficult to connect with others? You're not alone. Every 1 in 10 people has alexithymia - difficulty, or inability to identify, understand, and express emotions. And it’s even more prevalent among neurodivergent people, i.e., autism or ADHD.

Animi is a free app (currently only in English) with some optional premium extra features that helps you learn about your emotions, understand their causes, manage them effectively, and over time figure out your patterns. Like an evidence-based emotion coach utilizing 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 and emotion tracker, you'll be able to:

- Take an alexithymia test and learn your alexithymia score indicating how severely you are disconnected from your emotions
- Identify & log your emotions with the help of one of our emotion wheel like tools (on a much more detailed and granular level than mood trackers)
- Understand the meaning, causes, and symptoms of emotions through our emotion encyclopedia
- Learn all about emotions through a 100-day Emotions 101 course with psychoeducation content and interoception exercises
- Experience 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
- Get actionable insights from your diary and emotion patterns over time with our deep emotion analytics section, with clear visualizations (like your emotional heatmap)
- Better identify or process your emotions using our optional & safely narrow AI chat workbooks
- Get daily notifications to check-in with yourself and build a check-in streak

And over longer period of using the app:

- Reduce your alexithymia score
- Improve your relationships
- Enhance your mental and physical health

Sample of user reviews:

- The app is in my opinion **much better than emotion wheels** as there is so **much more details/information**.
- 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.
- **Very helpful!** Feel like the tool has **allowed me to regulate even when having very distressing emotions** through understanding.

Ratings and reviews

First time using it. May update the review after longer use. Seems interesting. I appreciate the elements in the app so far. When it gives suggestions for bodily sensations, the image will sometimes get stuck when it is swipping off screen and will not disappear until you either press it again or press the next one.

This app is a great resource. I particularly appreciate the extensive and highly detailed encyclopedia of emotions. It gives me words to describe what I feel with a high degree of specificity and allows me to identify nuance between emotions. The part of the app that identifies emotions based off of body sensations I use more as a jumping off point, as sometimes the results can be wild and I don't resonate. Lastly, it would be awesome to have this available in more languages!

logged back in after a recent update to find AI tools and several ads pushing a subscription service, why did this suddenly become a "dodge the pop-up" app? Also, their data privacy has changed and they have started collecting data on users they don't need. don't pick this app if you want privacy. It's now all about AI and your money.

What’s new

We’ve improved the performance of a number of places in the app and fixed dozens of bugs, so the experience should now be a bit more seamless!
