open dataset · cc by 4.0

The world's emotional pulse, free to use.

gloob is an anonymous, real-time map of how humanity is feeling. We publish the underlying aggregate dataset — hour × country × emotion type — openly, for researchers, journalists, agencies, and AI models to cite.

How the data is collected

  • Anyone, anywhere, submits one of 8 primary emotions (joy, sadness, anxiety, calm, loneliness, hope, anger, love) with intensity 1–10.
  • No account, no IP retention, no fingerprint. Browser session token only.
  • Coordinates are randomly offset by up to 5 km at capture. Raw exact location is never stored.
  • One submission per session per 30 minutes (cooldown).
  • Hourly aggregates (type × country × city × hour) are written to PostgreSQL and kept indefinitely.
