🌿 What is Umewe?

Umewe is a science-based self-care app with a unique “one tap” connection experience. Also combines 150+ psychological practices.
It’s built for people who want gentle mental health support for loneliness, stress, anxiety and low mood — without chats, feeds or pressure.

💛 One tap to feel “we”.

Press the ume-button to:

- feel a shared pulse of light and subtle vibration
- see how many people connected today to support you
- watch soft “threads of energy” linking your circle to others
- experience a moment of calm, belonging and presence

This creates a quiet reminder: “I am not alone right now.”

📚 150+ evidence-based self-care practices

Umewe includes a growing library of short, structured, science-based practices created with psychologists and therapists:
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – thought reframing, cognitive distortions, behavioral activation
- Gestalt-inspired exercises – awareness of “here and now”, unmet needs, completion of situations
- Mindfulness & grounding – sensory check-ins, breathing, body scans, present-moment focus
- ACT & self-compassion – values, acceptance, kind inner dialogue, working with difficult emotions
- Emotion regulation tools – naming feelings, window of tolerance, calming down after stress
- Loneliness & connection practices – feeling seen, building inner support, strengthening bonds

Most practices take 1 minute and can be done anytime, without special preparation.

🌬 Nervous system friendly design

Umewe uses gentle co-regulation cues inspired by modern psychology and neuroscience:

- breathing rhythms and soft light animations
- minimal interface without overwhelming content
- warm colors and subtle feedback instead of alarms and notifications

The goal is to help your body shift from tension to a calmer, more regulated state.

💫 Emotional gestures & global mood

Send one of four simple gestures — 💛 warmth, 🌿 peace, 🌊 flow, ✨ clarity — and see the screen respond with a gentle glow.

From time to time you’ll see messages like:
- “Many people sent warmth today 💛”
- “Peace is the most shared feeling right now 🌿”

These moments create a sense of shared human experience, even when you’re physically alone.
