## What is Meditation & Sleep?

Close your eyes. Let the light do the rest.

Strobia turns your iPhone into a stroboscopic meditation instrument. Soft pulses of light play across your closed eyelids at precise frequencies, and your visual system answers with vivid colors and shifting geometric patterns. There is no technique to master and nothing to get right. You settle in, close your eyes, and watch what appears.

GROUNDED IN RESEARCH
Every session is built on published brainwave entrainment research, with the sources cited inside the app. Alpha rhythms (8 to 13 Hz) are associated with relaxed, wakeful calm. Low beta frequencies support steady focus. Theta drift invites a dreamlike, hypnagogic state. A graded alpha to theta to delta descent is designed to ease you toward sleep, and a Dreamachine style journey around 13 Hz nods to the classic flicker experiments of the 1960s. Strobia is designed for relaxation and exploration. It does not diagnose or treat any condition.

GUIDED VOICE JOURNEYS
Optional narrated journeys pair the light with professional voice guidance, timed exactly to the phase transitions of each session. Choose the voice that suits you, or let the light speak for itself.

SOUND THAT MATCHES THE LIGHT
An ambient noise bed and binaural beats are tuned to the same frequency as the flicker, so what you hear and what you see move together.

A LIBRARY THAT GROWS WITH YOU
Science cited presets run from beginner to advanced, from 5 to 25 minutes. A session journal helps you notice what each frequency does for you, and completed sessions can log mindfulness minutes to Apple Health.

SAFETY FIRST
Strobia caps flicker at 25 Hz, ramps intensity in gently during your first sessions, and pauses automatically if your device runs warm. Important: Strobia is not suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy or a history of seizures. If you are unsure, talk to your doctor before using flicker based apps.

Find a quiet moment, dim the room, and press play. The light knows the way.

A subscription unlocks the full session library, guided voice journeys and offline listening.

Strobia is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition.
