Anna, the illustrated character of the app

Welcome to Anna

Science-backed nervous
system regulation app
for daily life.

Free to start

Available on iPhone

Name what
you feel.

Find it in
your body.

Find your way
back to calm.

Emotional
regulation
is a skill.

Most of us learn it in childhood, from a calm adult nearby. When that adult was absent or overwhelmed, the skill is still there to be learned.

Anna gives you a second chance to learn it, one check-in at a time. The idea was born in group therapy, and the practice is built for daily life. It is not a chatbot, a crisis service or a replacement for therapy.

Inside the app

From naming a feeling
to regulating it

  1. Your starting point

    Anna adapts to you

    Begin with body states, primary emotions
    or emotional layers, and switch at any time.

  2. Check-in

    Name it and find it

    Choose an emotion and its shade,
    then mark where it lives in your body.

  3. Regulation

    Know your state

    See what your nervous system is doing,
    and the regulation matched to it.

  4. Insights

    See where feelings gather

    Learn where your emotions gather,
    and what tends to come with them.

    Numbness
    Arms
  5. Portrait

    Be seen by someone close

    Every check-in adds colour to your Portrait.
    With Anna Pro, close friends can witness it.

Inner Dialogue

In a world full of noise,
Anna turns your attention inward

Write as both your inner child and your inner parent. Over time, the inner parent becomes the calm adult many people never had, and its voice becomes your own.

This is reparenting, a practice
drawn from Jungian inner work.

Co-regulation Anna Pro

When a feeling is seen and accepted,
two nervous systems settle together

1 Alone
AnxietyLoneliness

Anxiety pulls one person into fight or flight,
and loneliness pulls the other into shutdown.

2 Seen
Witnessed by
AnxietyLoneliness

A friend sees the feeling and accepts it:
“It makes sense that you feel this.”

3 Settled
Safe

Both nervous systems move towards safety,
and the feeling can finally be held.

The science behind it

Anna is built on decades of research into how we feel.
Naming an emotion helps it settle, and the body often
senses a feeling before the mind can find words for it.
A calm inner voice, too, can be learned at any age.

Many people can name what they feel and still wonder
what to do next. Anna bridges that gap, guiding each
feeling towards a way to regulate it.

Anna Grigoryan

A designer since the age of 18, Anna spent six years studying Jungian psychology, somatic approaches, attachment theory and transactional analysis, and built Anna on that foundation.

“Two weeks with Anna showed me that my nervous system lives in fight mode most of the time. I had no idea.”

Questions

Who is Anna for?

Anna is for adults aged 18 and over who want a daily way to understand and settle their emotions. It works on its own or alongside therapy.

Is Anna therapy?

No. Anna is a daily self-regulation practice. It is not a chatbot, a crisis service or a replacement for therapy, and many people use it alongside their sessions.

What if I am in crisis?

Anna is not designed for crisis support. In the US, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Elsewhere, contact your local emergency services or find a helpline at findahelpline.com.

Is my data private?

Your check-ins are yours. Anything shared beyond your own account, such as a friend witnessing your Portrait or anonymised research data, happens only with your consent.

What can I do for free?

One check-in a day, each with the Body Map and the Breathing Orb, two levels of tracking, two types of insights, Inner Dialogue and your Emotional Portrait. Anna Pro adds unlimited check-ins, a third level of tracking, behavioural patterns, saved Inner Dialogue history and witnessing, so people you trust can see your Portrait.

How does the free trial work?

Anna Pro is free for seven days. You will get a reminder on day six, and if you cancel before day seven, you will not be charged.

Where can I download Anna?

Anna is available now on the App Store for iPhone. Download it free and start with your first check-in.
