Mental Health Awareness Month
Most people spend May posting about mental health. You could actually do something about yours. Therma is a 60-second daily ritual that connects how you feel to what your body is telling you. No therapy-speak. No pressure. Just a quiet place to notice what you're carrying.
Free all month. Download Therma on iOS and start your daily check-in habit. No credit card required during May.

Sixty seconds a day. One real answer.
60 seconds. Not 60 minutes.
One check-in a day. You open the app, answer one question, and close it. Done before your coffee cools.
Your wearable meets your feelings.
Therma reads your Oura, Whoop, or Apple Watch data and shows you why a low HRV morning became a rough 2pm.
A weekly reveal, not a dashboard.
Every Sunday, one insight card connecting your mood to your sleep, HRV, and training. A paragraph you actually read.

Frequently asked questions
What is Mental Health Awareness Month?
Every May since 1949, Mental Health America has designated the month for awareness around mental health conditions and stigma. Therma offers free daily check-ins throughout May.
When is Mental Health Awareness Month 2026?
May 1 through May 31, 2026.
How can I support Mental Health Awareness Month?
Skip the Instagram post. Actually check in with yourself. Even 60 seconds of honest reflection each day does more than a ribbon or a hashtag. Share what you learn with a friend. That's it.
What are simple daily mental health habits?
Pick one thing small enough that you'll actually do it every day. A 60-second check-in. Five minutes of writing. A walk around the block. The habit that works is the one you don't skip.
How does an emotional check-in help?
When you name what you feel, you get better at catching it early. You react less. You make clearer decisions. Therma asks you one question a day to build that muscle.
What is the 60-second check-in method?
You answer one personalized question each day. That's it. Over time, those answers become a record of your emotional patterns. Brief and consistent beats long and sporadic every time.
Why do most journaling habits fail?
94% of people who start journaling quit within three weeks. It takes too long, the blank page is paralyzing, and you never get anything back from it. Therma asks one specific question, takes under 60 seconds, and shows you your patterns each week.
How does HRV connect to emotional wellness?
Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects how well your nervous system is recovering. Lower HRV often shows up before a rough emotional day. Therma pulls your wearable HRV data alongside your check-ins so you can see when your body knew something before you did.
