Meaning in life refers to the subjective experience that one’s own life is coherent, significant, purpose, and marked by belonging. It is therefore not about finding the meaning of life, but about the question: What is important and right for me? Meaning arises through the interplay of self-understanding, values, and concrete action – it is relational, not objectively given. It becomes visible in moments of coherence and in the orientation toward something that reaches beyond the present moment.

Sinnfragen
Sinnmacher helps you find out what truly matters to you. It is based on scientifically validated models and methods grounded in empirical meaning research. Through questions, impulses, and reflection exercises, you can work on your personal meaningfulness. It is not about a general answer, but about your personal orientation: What sustains you? What motivates you? Where do you want to go?
Yes. Sinnmacher is based on more than 20 years of research by Prof. Tatjana Schnell. The underlying models and assessment instruments were empirically developed and repeatedly validated. The app translates these findings into an accessible, practical everyday approach to discovering your own meaning in life.
People who experience their lives as meaningful are demonstrably more psychologically stable, motivated, resilient, and healthier. Those who know their sources of purpose make clearer decisions, act more coherently, and can find support even in times of crisis. Meaning also has a protective effect against exhaustion and the feeling of inner emptiness. Engaging with questions of meaning therefore not only strengthens well-being – it also promotes personal growth.
Sinnmacher is designed for anyone seeking clarity and orientation – regardless of age, life phase, or background. In addition, Sinnmacher considers different phases of life: after a separation, when starting or changing a career, in retirement, or after a loss. People without an acute crisis, but with the desire for personal clarification, also benefit. Questions of meaning do not arise only in times of crisis – often they appear precisely when everything on the outside seems to be fine.
You can download the Sinnmacher app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and sign up. After that, you gain access to the free version. A first scientifically based assessment shows you which meaning type you are and where your meaningfulness currently stands. Three free impulses help you implement your first exercises in everyday life. In the Sinnmacher kiosk, you will also find blog articles and podcasts that offer inspiring perspectives. If you would like to go deeper, you can use Sinnmacher Pro – with in-depth assessments, personalized impulses, and long-term support.
Sinnmacher is not coaching, therapy, or a guidebook – it is a scientifically based reflection tool. Unlike general self-help approaches, it is grounded in empirical models of the psychology of meaning. Instead of ready-made answers, it focuses on structured, self-directed exploration of personal sources of purpose. Sinnmacher does not provide recipes, but opens spaces for authentic self-clarification – anytime, anywhere, at your own pace.
