Read full description

Meet Hermie,your hermit crab companion on a journey through your emotions. Lanii is a unique emotion-tracking app that turns self-reflection into an immersive, story-driven experience. Instead of filling out forms or tapping on charts, you explore a living island where every landscape represents a different feeling. How it works: Wake up Hermie and step onto the island. Choose where you feel drawn, wander to the Beach of Joy, sit by the Lake of Sadness, face the Volcano of Anger, venture into the Forest of Fear, explore the Cave of Disgust, or discover the Garden of Surprise. Once you arrive, uncover seashells hidden along the shore. Each shell holds a specific emotion waiting to be claimed. Pick the one that speaks to you, then capture the moment, write a note or record your voice to remember exactly how you felt. Your seashells are saved in your personal collection. Whenever you want to revisit a memory, hold your phone up to your ear and listen, just like pressing a seashell to hear the ocean. Features:  — Interactive emotion island with 6 unique locations  — Seashell collection to log and revisit your emotions  — Voice recording & written notes for each entry  — Hermie, your friendly hermit crab companion  — Simple, intuitive and screen-friendly design for all ages 9+  — No account required, no personal data collected Lanii is your safe, private space to check in with yourself, one seashell at a time.
