Are you struggling with emotions? Do you find it difficult to connect with others? You're not alone. Every 1 in 10 people has alexithymia - difficulty, or inability to identify, understand, and express emotions. And it’s even more prevalent among neurodivergent people (autism, ADHD,...). Animi is a free app (currently only in English) with some optional premium extra features that helps you learn about your emotions, understand their causes, manage them effectively, and over time figure out your patterns. Like an evidence-based emotion coach utilizing the latest research on alexithymia and emotion regulation, Animi is designed to improve alexithymia, emotional awareness, and emotional intelligence, and over time help you build emotional vocabulary and understand the nuances of hundreds of feelings and emotions. - Take an alexithymia test and learn your alexithymia score, indicating how severely you are disconnected from your emotions - Identify & log your emotions with the help of one of our emotion wheel like tools (on a much more detailed and granular level than other emotion trackers) - Understand the meaning, causes, and symptoms of emotions with the help of our emotion encyclopedia - Experience quick breathing techniques to regulate emotions (like cyclic physiological sighing, bhastrika, or resonance breathing) - Learn how to communicate emotions in a productive way - Journal about your emotions with the help of introspective, reflective prompts - Get daily notifications to check in with yourself and build a streak With our optional Premium subscription, you'll also get access to: - 100-lesson, 3-month daily evidence-based Emotions 101 course designed specifically to address alexithymia by teaching a productive mindset about emotions, interoception, and emotion schemas - Optional AI-enhanced features including guided identification & processing chat workflows, knowledge base search & LLM-generated journal insights - Cross-device user accounts and data backups to sync data on phone & browser - Advanced analytics, including the ability to filter logged journals with multiple filters and extract useful insights from unique charts And over the longer period of using the app: - Reduce your alexithymia score - Improve your relationships - Enhance your mental health and even physical health Download Animi now and start your self-care journey today! Sample of user reviews: - The app is in my opinion much better than emotion wheels as there is so much more details/information. - This was far more informative than talking with a therapist for an hour to figure out what I'm feeling, so I would recommend it. - Very helpful! Feel like the tool has allowed me to regulate even when having very distressing emotions through understanding. Disclaimer: Animi is incorporated as a public benefit corporation with a mission to build a solution that improves alexithymia, and that's also why we collect the anonymized alexithymia test data, so we know whether the app succeeds at it. Your sensitive journal data stays on the device by default. It can be stored on our server for cross-device sync only with your opt-in explicit permission after enabling that feature. By default we are only collecting metadata necessary to evaluate the effectiveness and improve the app, though you can opt-in to share more detailed data for research and creation of future helpful content. We don't share the data with any third-parties nor sell it or use it for any kind of advertisement.

Find out how old your body actually is. Prop your phone against a water bottle, or lay it on the floor for push-ups and planks. Do push-ups, squats, jumping jacks, a plank, a balance test and a mobility check. The camera tracks your body and counts every rep. Ten minutes later you get one number: your fitness age. Then bring it down. NO EQUIPMENT. NO TAPPING. Yearless uses your phone's camera to see your movement and count your reps. A live skeleton follows your body, the count shows on screen and a voice counts out loud. Clean reps and partial reps are counted separately. You confirm the count before anything is saved. THE 60-SECOND MAX TEST Pick one move. Go as hard as you can for 60 seconds. See how you compare with people your age and gender. Your first one is free. YOUR FITNESS AGE A 10-minute test that turns your strength, endurance, balance and mobility into one number. Free the first time you take it. Retest after 30 days and see if it moved. DAILY WORKOUTS, COUNTED BY CAMERA Pick 5, 10, 15 or 20 minutes. Six to ten sets, rest timers and voice cues. You finish with your total reps, clean reps and time. VERIFIED LIFETIME TOTALS Every rep the camera counts is added to your lifetime total. Other apps give you a checkbox. This is a receipt. THE 30-DAY CHALLENGE Day 1 is your test. Days 2 to 29 are one session a day. Day 30 is your retest. If you miss a day, you start from Day 1 again, unless a streak freeze covers it. PROGRESS PHOTOS Take aligned progress photos and watch your body change. They stay on your phone. Never uploaded, never public, never shared. SHARE YOUR RESULTS Export your fitness age card, a rep clip with the tracking overlay, or your Day 1 to Day 30 transformation reel. Sharing is always free. ALSO INCLUDED - Streak with a streak freeze - Workout history - Weight tracking - Exercise instructions - Dark and light themes PRIVACY Rep counting happens on your phone.
