Check your vibe.
Listen to your body in three seconds. No extra hardware required.
In the moment
Made for moments like these.
- Before a hard conversation.“I’m ready to say what I actually think.”
- Before you say yes.“I want to take this on.”
- Before you hit send.“This is the message I mean to send.”
- Before you walk in the door.“I’ve left work at work.”
How a vibecheck works
Check. See. Then choose.
Hold a clear statement in mind.
First person, about something live today: “I’m ready for this meeting.”
Flick your wrist three times.
About three seconds. Your phone’s motion sensors. No camera, no wearable.
See your reading.
Aligned or Unaligned, with how confident the model is. Compared only to your own baseline.
Then choose.
Agree or disagree, move on, or open an optional guided practice.
Meet the practitionersThe first time takes longer. Setup is about 10 minutes: an account, a short tutorial, and a few rounds of calibration with headphones. That’s what lets every reading after it be about you and no one else.
What we measure
Small movements.
Your own baseline.
SomaCheck uses your phone’s motion sensors to read how you move.
What a reading is, and isn’t
It is
A reading about one statement, at one moment, compared to your own baseline.
It isn’t
A lie detector, a diagnosis, or a verdict on you.
Try again
If the movement can’t be read, SomaCheck asks you to try again. There’s no third result.
Try it now, without the app. Say one first-person statement to yourself and notice whether your body settles or braces. That’s the practice. SomaCheck makes it repeatable in three seconds.

The science
Your body reacts before your mind explains.
SomaCheck compares each readable movement with the baseline you created during calibration. It comes out of Sensie’s research on gesture and alignment, which began in 2017.

granted US patents
Nine research trials so far, led by co-founder Thomas Gersten, who led AI gesture recognition for Xbox Kinect, with PhD researchers Julia Mossbridge, Anne Jensen (Oxford) and Tchiki Davis (Berkeley Well-Being Institute). Results are unpublished. Next: research trials in preparation at Columbia University and Mayo Clinic.

A note from our founder
There’s a more useful way to see stress: as intelligence wanting to be known. The next time it shows up, ask what it’s trying to tell you. We’re building the tools to support that reality.
Mike Dannheim, founder of SensieWhat people are saying
In their own words.
I can step into my 'Super Dad' alter ego, present and focused on him, not distracted by business thoughts or my phone. That's a transformational technology.
Jon Sliz Instead of getting into a fight with your partner, shake your phone. You're activated, you get the breath work after. It shakes your nervous system, closes you down.
Gabe Orta This process pushes you to be as honest with yourself as you can. When you do the check, you get one last checkpoint: how do you really feel about this?

Quotes reflect experience with Sensie, the technology behind SomaCheck. They are personal views, not clinical claims.
With your OK
Your AI agent can ask, too.
Connect SomaCheck to your AI agent. When words are the bottleneck, your agent can ask for a check on a specific statement, only with your OK. It sees the statement, the reading and the confidence. Raw motion never leaves SomaCheck.
Before you install
Questions people ask us.
- Is this a medical or clinical tool?
- No. SomaCheck is a general-wellness tool. It does not diagnose, detect, treat, or monitor any condition, and never replaces care from your doctor or care team.
- Do I need a wearable or any extra hardware?
- No. SomaCheck uses the sensors already in your iPhone. Nothing to charge, nothing to strap on.
- How is this different from a Whoop or Oura?
- They track your body all day. SomaCheck answers a different question: how your body responds to one specific statement. See the comparison.
- Who can see my check-ins?
- You, and any AI agent you choose to connect. An agent sees only the statements it sent, the reading and the confidence, never raw motion. Optional gesture diagnostics stay off unless you turn them on. We don’t sell your data.
- How long does a check-in take?
- The movement takes three seconds. The first time, setup takes about 10 minutes: an account, a short tutorial, and calibration, so readings compare against your own baseline.
- What if a reading seems wrong?
- Early readings can miss, and every reading shows the model’s confidence so you can weigh it. If you agree or disagree, that answer is saved separately and never rewrites the original reading.
- Is there an Android version?
- Not yet. iPhone comes first. Leave your email and we will tell you when Android is ready.
“I've got five minutes before a Zoom call, and I need what I've been practicing in meditation for half a year. With Sensie, I can do it in ten seconds. Two breaths, and I'm fully embodied.”
