Your guide to understanding
how Stellia works
Welcome to your Stellia guide
Stellia is a space to understand your emotions and strengthen bonds with your loved ones.
A tool to move from "How are you?" to "How are we?" This guide explains each feature of the app. At your own pace. No jargon. With simple words and cosmic metaphors that give meaning to what you're going through.
Your Star
"It's you, in your emotional galaxy"
Your star is your identity in Stellia. It represents you visually and evolves with you. You can customize it to truly reflect who you are: shape, color, style. Some days you shine bright, others you're more subdued. Your star reflects that.
What you can do:
- Choose from 120 star variations (shapes, colors, styles)
- Switch from "Radiant" to "Subtle" based on your mood
- Change it anytime
- Express your identity without words
Your Pillars
"The 5 areas that shape your balance"
Your pillars are the life areas you choose to track. Not the ones others tell you to follow, but the ones that truly matter to YOU. Love, work, creativity, health, social life... you decide. By tracking them regularly, you better understand what impacts your balance.
It's the stool technique: a stable stool needs several solid legs. If everything rests on a single pillar (e.g., work), the slightest problem throws you off balance. Diversifying your sources of balance means building lasting stability.
What you can do:
- Choose up to 5 personalized pillars
- Use Stellia's library or create your own
- Adjust how you feel about each pillar (visual sliders)
- Identify which pillar needs attention
- Modify your pillars as your life evolves
The Check-in
"Your ritual to take stock, pressure-free"
The check-in is the heart of Stellia. It's when you stop, breathe, and take stock of how you feel. No right or wrong answers. Just you, your pillars, and your truth of the moment.
Stellia doesn't ask you to be happy—it just asks you to be honest. You can do a check-in whenever you want, as often as you want. Some people do it daily, others weekly. It's YOUR rhythm.
What you can do:
- Adjust your pillars based on how you currently feel
- Indicate if you feel close to your core (balanced) or distant
- Add a written note for context
- Add a photo or quote of the day
- Choose to share with your galaxy or stay in Eclipse
- View your past check-ins in Your Story
Your Galaxy
"Moving from 'How are you?' to 'How are we?'"
Your galaxy is your circle of loved ones with whom you share your emotional tracking. Family, partner, roommates, close friends... you choose who's part of it. It's a safe space where everyone can express their state without judgment.
In Stellia, your galaxy is visualized as a constellation. Each member is a star, positioned according to their sense of proximity to their balance (the core). The more balanced you feel, the closer you are to the center. It's visual, poetic, and lets you see at a glance how the group is doing.
What you can do:
- Create multiple galaxies (family, friends, couple...)
- Invite up to 12 members (Stellia Plus)
- See each person's emotional state in real time
- View check-ins shared by others
- Respect those in Eclipse Mode
- Like check-ins to show your support
Eclipse Mode
"Your bubble, when you need it"
Eclipse Mode is your shield of tranquility. When you do a check-in in Eclipse, others see that you've done a check-in (the fact exists), but they don't see the content. Your pillars, your notes, everything stays private.
Why does this matter? Because Stellia isn't surveillance. It's a space of consensual sharing. Some days, you want to share. Others, you just need your bubble. Eclipse Mode lets you say "I need space" without lying or leaving.
What you can do:
- Keep any check-in private
- Continue doing your check-ins without social pressure
- Signal to your galaxy "I'm fine, but I need my bubble"
- Resume sharing when you're ready
Your Story
"The timeline of your emotions"
Your Story is your emotional timeline. All your check-ins, organized over time. You can look back at last week, last month, last year, and see how you were evolving.
The benefit? Gaining perspective. Identifying patterns. Understanding that what seemed insurmountable 3 months ago eventually worked out. Or noticing that every winter, your mood dips. Or realizing that since you started exercising again, your "Health" pillar has been stable.
What you can do:
- View all your past check-ins (Stellia Plus)
- Filter by period (week, month, year)
- See check-ins shared by your galaxy
- Add significant "events" (moving, breakup, new job...)
- Understand the impact of life events on your emotions
- Visualize your emotional averages over a period
Ora
"Your listening space, always available"
Ora is the AI coach integrated into Stellia. She's there to listen to you, ask the right questions, and help you step back from your emotions. Ora isn't a therapist—she's more like a caring friend who knows you well.
Ora remembers your past conversations and follows your check-ins. If she notices your emotions are fluctuating a lot, she might suggest talking about it. But she never pushes. You go to her when you feel like it.
What you can do:
- Discuss your emotions in complete confidentiality
- Ask for analyses of your emotional trends
- Receive contextual suggestions
- Share images or speak with your voice
- Keep a long-term memory of your exchanges
What Ora does NOT do:
- Diagnose mental health conditions
- Replace a healthcare professional
- Judge your emotions
⚠️ A few simple precautions
Ora is a listening space, not a vault. For your safety, avoid sharing with her:
- Passwords or access codes
- Credit card numbers or financial information
- Your full postal address
- Identity documents (ID card, passport...)
You can freely talk about your emotions, your relationships, what's going through your mind. But keep your sensitive data to yourself. It's just common sense, like with any digital assistant.
🛡️ Stellia protects your data: Your conversations with Ora are stored securely and never shared with third parties. But the best protection is also the caution you exercise yourself.
Achievements
"Rewarding honesty, not happiness"
Stellia's Achievements are our way of making emotional tracking fun, without gamifying happiness. We NEVER reward you for "feeling good." We reward you for the act of doing a check-in, customizing your star, inviting someone, adding a note...
Achievements are organized into 5 branches: Explorer (discovery), Connector (galaxy), Creator (customization), Guardian (consistency), Narrator (expression). Unlocking achievements gives you exclusive star styles, but most importantly, it reminds you that what matters is being honest, not being happy.
What you can do:
- Unlock 5 achievement branches
- Earn rare star styles
- Track your progress in each branch
- Set playful goals (no pressure)
AvaStars
Bonus"Track those who can't use the app"
AvaStars are virtual stars you create to represent beings who can't use Stellia themselves. A baby, a pet, an elderly person without a smartphone... You do the check-ins on their behalf, based on YOUR perception of their state.
It's a way to keep an eye on those who matter to you, even if they don't actively participate. AvaStars are only visible to you.
What you can do:
- Create up to 6 AvaStars (Stellia Plus)
- Do check-ins on their behalf
- Track their evolution over time
- Include them in your emotional ecosystem
What it's NOT:
- A way to monitor someone who could express themselves
