the idea

why we built
feelhood

It started from a simple observation: most people assume they are the only one feeling the way they feel right now. They're almost never right.

Anxiety. Loneliness. Quiet joy. The inexplicable heaviness of a Tuesday afternoon. These are not edge cases — they are the texture of daily life for millions of people. Yet we carry them in private, convinced that everyone else is fine.

Feelhood is our answer to that gap. Not a mood diary, not a wellness app, not social media. Something much simpler: a way to drop a signal that says “I feel this” — and immediately see how many people around the world dropped the same signal today.

That number does something. It removes the loneliness from the feeling without removing the privacy of the person.

a living canvas of emotion

Every feeling you log becomes a light in the Field — the ambient particle canvas you see throughout the app. Together, all the lights form a real-time picture of what the world is carrying right now. Warm colours when joy and gratitude dominate. Cool tones when loneliness and anxiety are high.

It is not a chart. It is not a dashboard. It is closer to standing in a dark field and watching fireflies appear — each one a person, each one a moment, all of them briefly saying the same thing.

01

emotions are real

What you feel is valid, regardless of why you feel it. Feelhood is not here to analyse or advise — only to witness.

02

you are never alone in it

Somewhere in the world, right now, someone feels exactly the way you do. We built a way to make that visible without anyone losing their privacy.

03

the world has a mood

The world pulses. News, seasons, shared moments — they move people emotionally at scale. We wanted to make that pulse legible, from your city all the way up to the planet.

04

privacy is the product

You are never shown publicly. No username attached to a feeling. No social graph. Your individual data is never shared. What you see is a collective signal — nothing more.

deliberately minimal

No comments. No reactions. No followers. No streaks designed to keep you opening the app. No notifications telling you what to feel. No algorithm deciding which emotions to surface.

We have made every feature decision by asking: does this make the person feel less alone, or does it create a new kind of pressure? If it creates pressure, we cut it.
