About this app

Developer Description

An emotional wellbeing journal

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.

Easy to use, no ads, aesthetically pleasing, and makes me keep coming back! Many emotions to choose from, all color coded and separated by "high energy (pleasant)," "high energy (unpleasant)," "low energy (pleasant)" "low energy (unpleasant)." You can also track other things, like sleep, caffeine, alcohol, et cetera... And they have exercises to help you out in different situations, like when you're stressed or sad. I've tried a lot of emotion tracking apps and this one's my favorite.

Hey, my old phone has been stolen and I have lost access to all my HWF entries. I use your app since many years and I tried to make sure that I can log in again if something happens but I didn't understood if I even had an account in the first place. Could download a file but I made a lot of photos as well. Is there a way that I can reaccess my old entries? It's like my personal diary and it hurts that I can't access it anymore. I also tried to print out everything but the feature didn't work.

I've been using the app for 463 days now and checked in on every single one. After messaging the support multiple times, I've got the impression that they're not in it for actual long term users, for example making questionable design changes that impact accessibility negatively. Also, why do I HAVE to use Google Play Services? I'd love for this to go open source instead.

The old version was way better. The new interface is confusing visually, ugly, and doesn't define the emotions anymore!!!

it should have the same features it has on iPhone then on android. because it would be helpful to be able to add emotions when they dobt have them. iPhone let's you do that but android doesn't. same with the body scan. that should be on both iPhone and android and we should be able to share that to the friends/loved ones we have on this app.
