The first wearable that reads your emotions to enhance your EQ.

We've spent decades tracking everything. Sleep. Recovery. Steps. All proxies for how we feel. Performance is 90% mental. And yet no one has built the feedback loop for our emotions. We close that loop by designing a device that understands how you feel, tells you why, and what you can do about it. Emotional intelligence becomes trainable, so you can better connect and create with those around you.

Technology has taken all of our attention, and AI has commoditized intelligence. Understanding how we feel and why has never been harder or more valuable.

We've become obsessed with tracking everything: sleep, recovery, performance. All proxies for how we feel.

Performance is 90% mental. And yet, no one has built the feedback loop for our emotions.

What we’re building

Anoria is a bracelet that reads your emotional state in real time. We call this your Flow Score, built from your Energy, Mood, and Focus.

It's powered by SOMI, our state-of-mind inference model, which uses a deep neuroscience framework to correlate 150 audio and biometric signals to surface what you're feeling, why, and what to do about it (listen to a track by Eminem, call your friend Alex…).

With a tight enough feedback loop, emotional intelligence becomes trainable, and your flow state repeatable.

Who is it for?

We’re building this for founders and creatives. People who understand that their state of mind is their most important asset.

Development Status

Two months in, a handful of users are wearing our first prototypes in the wild. They see their Flow Score in real time, and watch it shift with the people they talk to, the apps they use, the meetings they have, and the music they listen to.

About us

I spent five years designing iPhones at Apple, most recently leading the iPhone 17 Pro enclosure. I learned what it means to be obsessive about every detail and still ship 100 million devices a year.

For a decade, I've been obsessed with one question: can human emotion be scientifically understood and quantified?

I built Anoria as a solo founder. Today, an incredible five-person team of ex-Apple and ex-Meta engineers and repeat founders is building it with me. We're going all in on technology that makes self-awareness tangible, and helps us reconnect.
