Emotional check-in

Eight emotions. Infinite nuance.

Every Echoes experience starts with a simple question: how do you feel? Your answer shapes everything that follows—from the prompts you see, to the letter you receive, to when it arrives.

Joy

Moments of lightness, warmth, or quiet contentment.

Sub-emotions Echoes can identify

Beyond the surface

From words to understanding

Selecting a primary emotion is just the starting point. When you write your letter, Echoes analyzes the language to identify deeper feelings beneath the surface—distinguishing grief from nostalgia, or restlessness from dread.

No manual labeling required

Sub-emotions are extracted naturally from your words. You never have to label exactly how you feel—just write honestly and the platform does the rest. The result is a match that understands not just what you feel, but how you feel it.

How the check-in works

Step 01

Choose your emotion

Select the emotion that best describes how you feel right now. Each primary emotion has nuanced sub-emotions that Echoes will identify from your writing.

Step 02

Set the intensity

Indicate how heavy this feeling is. This helps Echoes adjust both matching and delivery timing. Heavier moments receive support sooner.

Step 03

Add optional context

Is this feeling new or ongoing? Are you surrounded by people or alone? Do you want resonance, hope, or just a safe space to release? Skip any you like.

Step 04

Write and send

Choose a gentle prompt or free-write. Your check-in data combined with what you write gives Echoes a rich understanding of your moment for a genuinely relevant match.

Your check-in is never shared with anyone. It exists only to help Echoes understand your moment and find the right letter for you.
