Shine is a self-care and meditation app designed to help the user calm their anxieties, get to the root of their emotions and actions, and find some strategies for feeling gratitude and inner peace. Every day that you log into the app, you can check in with how you are feeling. In a text-conversation format, the app will provide you with some prompts to answer about why you are feeling this particular way. It will then ask you what you want to do with these feelings. You can free write, listen to a meditation session, read some articles on the subject of self-care, or even choose an option called “talk it out.” This will continue the chat-like conversation with the app, asking you to further define your feelings and how best to manage them. Users can then go back to the menu and choose other options if they want to continue exploring their feelings, or they can end the session and come back another time. Users can check in multiple times during a day, so if something happens in the evening that changes your mood, you can still log in and work through those feelings. 

Users can also access other self-care exercises within the app, such as the Question of the Day. The response the user provides will be posted along with those of other Shine users and reading the responses can provide feelings of gratitude or understanding. The app also features meditations for the morning, afternoon, and evening. 

Shine is free but certain services require an in-app purchase. It is currently available for Android and iOS.
