Hear your emotions.
Tonos is a music-based meditation app that helps you find the sound of your feelings and process them more effectively. Tonos guides you through multiple steps to identify your emotional states, think through them, and translate them into music.
Tonos is designed for accessibility and can be used without looking at your screen. Close your eyes, open your ears, and dive in.
Research on the psychology of mood repair shows that music is a powerful tool for emotion regulation (Moltrasio et al., 2021), and it works best when the subject listens to music that matches their emotional state. Tonos lets you compose your own music that perfectly resonates with your feelings, manipulating one musical property at a time — such as rhythm, harmony, instrumentation — while being voice-guided to understand where the emotion resides in your body, and what triggered it.
In the end, the song you create is unique — there are over a thousand possible combinations of sound to match every possible cocktail of feelings. Then you can save and catalog your feelings to listen to later, as well as share them with your loved ones.
