The Humie streaming app turns passive screen time into interactive, play-based emotion learning.
We augment kids' favorite shows with a learning layer that builds emotion skills, school-readiness, & healthier screen habits.
Our streaming platform is designed AND PROVEN to support healthier media consumption and skill development.
Humie prepares your kiddo for school, playground, & home by building critical skills like reflection, empathy, & self-soothing.
A safe, growing catalogue of popular kids shows, curated by children's media experts.
Your kiddo accompanies 'Humie' as he learns the human emotions embedded in stories on-screen.
Play-based learning progresses across shows and over time. Developed by world-leading emotion scientists.
Research shows significant improvements in emotion regulation, emotion vocabulary, and discussion of emotions with parents.
Humie is backed by:
Our founders – two of the country's leading emotion scientists – have spent over 6 years developing the technology behind the app. While there are additional bells & whistles on our roadmap for Humie, the recent reductions in educational resources for children challenge us to think differently.
Research confirms that the earlier kids begin to acquire emotional literacy, the better. So we're taking an iterative approach that makes our already revolutionary technology available sooner (enter the "1st Generation" of Humie).
Launching iteratively also allows us to involve early-adopting parents & kids as "co-designers" of the app. We want to grow alongside the members of our community.
We don't have time to wait – the children of America deserve this resource now.

We're a small team of real people, *not* a big corporation – and your support means the world!
We are parents, cognitive scientists, artists, and education advocates creating new ways to blend media and wellness. Our founders – two of the country's leading emotion scientists – have spent over 7 years developing this technology.
If more parents download Humie, we can show wall street and potential investors that universal emotional intelligence is a dream we can actually achieve.
Our mission is universal emotional literacy. Which is why we are committed to making Humie and other ThinkHumanTV products accessible to ALL families, regardless of income.
To that end, we've adopted a 'pay what you will model' for the app. If you can afford a subscription, you will be helping families that can't.
You will also be supporting the Humie Childcare Grant program for lower income and middle class families (see below).
The power of empathy is to move us to action when others need help. We aim to model this with the Humie childcare grant for lower income and middle class families.
"My son loves using Humie! He is 4 years old and will specifically ask to watch “the question version” of some of his favorite shows like Bluey and Octonauts.
As a parent, I feel better about allowing screen time when I know he is developing his emotional and social learning!"
