Finally, proof your meditation is working. Most meditation apps just play sounds and hope for the best. mindvoid measures those moments when your mind goes perfectly quiet (mind void time) so you can work on increasing them and see how you're progressing. The Problem We Solve: Maybe you've tried meditating. Sometimes it feels amazing, sometimes you just sit there thinking about groceries. Without data, you never know if you're getting better or wasting your time. Also Includes: * Guided meditation sessions that adapt to the length of your sessions. * Sleep mode - turn off gently so you can drift off to sleep after your meditation. * All night mode - leave your session going all night, along with sleep aid sounds to improve your sleep quality. * Visual patterns designed to anchor your attention non-verbally, to extend your mind void durations. * Visual breathing guide that also helps to focus and extend your mind void durations. * Logging and charts showing your progress in maintaining void time for longer. Who Uses This: * People who gave up on meditation because they "couldn't tell if it was working". * Insomniacs who need something between them and their thoughts. * Anyone who wants meditation to be less woo-woo, more measurable and more effective. * Light sleepers that benefit from gentle natural background noise for deeper, more restful sleep. * Overthinkers seeking actual mental silence. Stop wondering if meditation works. Start knowing. Your mind's quietest moments, tracked and improved.
