How We Feel vs Lull

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 using HealthKit 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 terms are clear and easy-to-understand: all of your data is kept on your device unless you opt-in to send an anonymized version of your check-ins to be used in research 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 through daily HealthKit tracking 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.

Lull layers ambient sounds into mixes that quiet a busy mind. Drop rain over distant thunder, page turns, and crackling fire — eight curated scenes to choose from, plus a 66-sound library to build your own. Save unlimited custom mixes with your own cover photos. The sleep timer fades quietly to silence so it doesn't wake you. Standard playback controls work from the lock screen and Control Center. ASMR triggers, white-noise focus aids, brown noise for sleep, weather scenes, page turns, soft tapping, gentle brushing — every layer adjusts independently, so you compose exactly the texture you need. PRO LIFETIME One payment unlocks every scene, the full sound library, unlimited saved mixes with custom covers, the sleep timer, and every scene we add in future updates. No subscription. Yours forever.
