About this app

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 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 policy puts you in control of how your data is stored and shared. Data is stored on your device unless you choose to send your data to an alternative storage solution. Data is only accessible by you unless you choose to share it with others. Data is not used for research unless you opt-in to contribute an anonymized version of your data for research studies designed 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 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.

I honestly cant believe how much you get for free on this app. I like the reflect feature that helps you go a little deeper into your feelings and provides valuable insight. Theres just a couple of really annoying problems. We need the option to write in an emotion and delete it in case you make a mistake. You get the option to write in what you were doing when you were feeling an emotion, but I made a mistake and it saved it. Now I cant get rid of it. Ill adjust to 5 stars if it gets fixed.
