Metle is a personal project built from lived experience, designed to support emotional wellbeing through music, reflection, and intentional listening.
People already turn to music to manage their emotions to unwind, feel understood, or boost their energy. While users often form strong emotional bonds with songs and artists, they don’t always have a way to reflect on or express the meaning behind those moments. There’s a growing desire for more intentional, mindful listening instead of just tuning in passively.

Social pressures, financial stress, and limited access to tailored support contribute to rising distress.
Stigma, long wait times, and a lack of youth-friendly tools make it harder to seek support early.
Music offers immediate mood regulation, a sense of belonging, and private space for reflection.
Most platforms optimise for playtime, not wellbeing; reflection and guidance tools are minimal.
With mindful features, music can prompt healthy habits, reflection, and help-seeking at the right moment.
It’s important to explore the negatives that could come from this also.
