Feely was created by parents, for families. Like many parents, we noticed that it can be difficult to talk with children about their day and their feelings — especially when they are still very young. Traditional emotion diaries often rely on writing, which isn’t always suitable. Feely was developed as a simple, playful way to support emotional conversations within the family. With Feely, parents can help their child reflect on feelings and experiences together. Emotions are visualized using friendly characters, and voice recordings allow experiences to be shared in a natural way. This makes it easier for families to talk about emotions and helps parents gain meaningful insights into their child’s emotional world. Feely is designed for shared use within the family, with parental involvement. WHAT FAMILIES CAN SUPPORT WITH FEELY • Recognizing and naming emotions • Becoming more aware of feelings • Reflecting on emotions together • Processing daily experiences • Encouraging mindfulness and self-reflection • Supporting empathy and emotional understanding • Fostering emotional intelligence FEELY FEATURES • Record feelings and experiences as audio entries • Save meaningful recordings to favorites • Share recordings within the family • Intuitive, family-friendly design • Follow emotional development over time • Clear overview of emotions for discussion and reflection • Create individual profiles for multiple children • Safe and protected environment • No advertisements Feely can be downloaded and tested for free.
