## Description

How We Feel is a free, science-based emotional wellbeing journal developed by scientists, designers, engineers, and therapists, in collaboration with Yale University's Center for Emotional Intelligence and Dr. Marc Brackett. It helps you name your emotions and track sleep, exercise, and health trends via HealthKit to reveal patterns over time. Data stays on your device unless you opt in to share anonymized check-ins for research, reflecting our clear, privacy-first approach.

This Chrome extension includes real-time sharing with trusted friends and step-by-step video strategies you can complete in one minute on themes like Change Your Thinking, Move Your Body, Be Mindful, and Reach Out, to strengthen emotional regulation and relationships.
