Behind Emochi

The quiet science of noticing

Putting a name to what you feel is grounded in real research. Emochi is built to bring some of journaling's reflective benefit without the blank page.

Labeling calms emotional reactivity

Naming an emotion is linked to reduced amygdala activity, the brain's emotional alert center. That gives you room to shift gears and regulate feelings gently.

Specificity builds resilience

Telling complex emotions apart (emotional granularity), rather than calling everything "bad", is shown to help people cope better under stress.

Frequently asked questions

What is Emochi?

Emochi is a voice journal app for iOS and Android by Kente Labs. You talk or type about your day, and the app turns the entry into Mochi, a generative character whose colour and shape reflect the emotions in what you said.

How does Emochi work?

Record a voice note or type an entry. Emochi captures your words, scores the emotions in the entry, and shapes a Mochi from them. A monthly calendar shows each day as its own Mochi, so recurring emotional patterns become easy to spot.

Which emotions does Emochi track?

Nine: anger, anxiety, sadness, disgust, guilt, joy, love, hope and gratitude. Each has its own colour, and the strongest emotions in an entry decide the shape and colour of that day's Mochi.

Is Emochi a therapy app?

No. Emochi is not a clinical tool and does not provide therapy, diagnosis or medical advice. It is a reflective journaling tool informed by published research on emotion labeling and self-monitoring.

How is it different from a regular journal?

You speak instead of facing a blank page, and your entry is reflected back as a shape you can recognise. Over weeks, the calendar view shows how your emotions move, which a text-only journal does not do on its own.

Where can I download it, and how is my data handled?

Emochi is on the App Store and Google Play. How data is collected and used is described in the Privacy Policy.
