What is the Mood Meter App?

The Mood Meter App was developed by researchers at Yale to provide a more nuanced approach to understanding and labeling emotions. The app asks users to identify their emotions based on energy and pleasantness levels, such as high energy/unpleasant or low energy/pleasant. After selecting their general mood, users pick specific emotions from a gallery of words and colors. The app collects this data to track emotional patterns and predict future emotional states. It is available on both Apple and Android platforms, usually for $0.99 1 2.

Andrew Huberman mentions that the app aims to address the lack of nuanced language for emotions, helping users to better understand and articulate their feelings 1.
