Animi is an app for anyone who needs help identifying and labeling emotions and/or body sensations. If you have alexithymia, low interoception, or just get overwhelmed by sensations, this app is awesome!
I used it when I was feeling "weird and bad" but wasn't sure why. In retrospect, I might have been able to intellectually figure out what was going on, but the app sped up the process considerably.
These two screenshots are the two main options when you start:
Body sensations: tap a body part and say whether it feels more detached or intense. Keep going for as many body parts as you like
2. Emotion compass: Choose a spot on the map for high/low energy and pleasant/unpleasant. You can also move the dot around and see if any of the emotion words above resonate.
My favorite part was the next section after body sensations, which was a Y/N for more sensations that I hadn't noticed. Each selection changed the emotion guesses above.
It's available for free on Android and iPhone at this link.
