Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kumusta Ka?
Kumusta Ka? is a free emotional check-in and self-care app in English and Filipino. You tap how you feel, get three simple ideas to manage that feeling, try short calming exercises, write your thoughts, and notice patterns over time.
Is it free?
Yes. It is free to use, and you do not need an account or to sign in.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your check-ins, thoughts, name, and exercise counts are saved only in your own browser on your device. They are not sent to a server or shared. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, they will not carry over.
Is this a replacement for therapy or professional help?
No. Kumusta Ka? is a self-care tool for personal check-ins. It does not diagnose or treat anything. If you feel unsafe or in crisis, please reach out to someone you trust or a local helpline.
What if I can’t describe how I feel?
Choose “Hindi matukoy.” The app will suggest gentle ways to notice your body and breathe, and you can write whatever comes to mind in Thoughts.
How do the patterns work?
After a few check-ins, the Patterns tab shows gentle observations, such as the feelings you have most often, the time of day they show up, and words that keep appearing in your thoughts. Each one comes with a question to help you reflect. They are not a diagnosis.
Can I use it in Filipino?
Yes. Use the Eng / Fil switch at the top to change the language. The app remembers your choice.
Kumusta Ka? was made by Reagan Austria as a personal project, with the help of Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic. It’s still being refined, and it’s meant for personal check-ins, not as a replacement for professional help.
