SoulSignal helps you understand your inner life; the parts that don't show up on a step counter. Through validated psychological assessments, contemplative practice, and biometric data from your Apple Watch or other health devices, SoulSignal gives you a complete picture of your psychospiritual wellbeing. Not just how your body is doing. How you are. WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDE - Research-backed assessments that measure life flourishing, emotional wellbeing, character and relationships, beauty and transcendence, and spiritual life; drawn from the same instruments used in academic research. - Personalized results with percentile rankings so you can see where you stand and what might be worth attention. - Guided meditation sessions that track your heart rate and HRV, so you can see how your practice affects your body in real, measurable ways. - Flexible tracking: use your Apple Watch for live session data, or connect through Apple Health to bring in metrics from Garmin, Whoop, Oura, and other devices. - Recent practice history so you can see your consistency over time. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your responses and biometric data are yours. We don't sell your information, we don't show ads, and we use industry-standard encryption to keep everything secure. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO TAKE THEIR INNER LIFE SERIOUSLY Whether you're a longtime meditator curious about the numbers behind your practice, someone trying to build a more intentional relationship with yourself, or just beginning to map your inner landscape; SoulSignal gives you tools that respect the depth of the work. Start with a short assessment. See where you are. Come back as often as you want.
