808 home screen: a 7 day streak, a gold practice score sparkline, and a month calendar dotted on practiced days

The most powerful tool you have is your mind. It shapes your reality. Taking care of your body is mainstream. Taking care of your mind is not. The way you take care of your mind is through meditation. So we built 808 to make meditation measurable, habitual, and universal.

01 / What 808 does about it

Four problems, four answers.

Pain 1 / “Am I even doing this right?”

Every session scored, honestly.

Heart rate, stillness and breathing, drawn as curves you can read. One score out of 100, scored via our proprietary algorithm, first of its kind. A written takeaway in plain words.

And when a session goes badly, 808 says so. A restless sit scores a 24, not a participation trophy. That is exactly why the good sessions mean something.

A high scoring session: Your practice landed, score 81, heart settled 13 beats, with heart rate and stillness curves
A low scoring session: A restless one, that happens. Score 24, heart rate climbing, stillness jagged, breath not read
The journey screen: a 7 day streak, awards shelf, and a month calendar dotted on practiced days
Pain 2 / “Nothing keeps me accountable”

A streak that notices, and awards you keep.

Your streak, a calendar of practiced days, and seventeen awards earned by things you actually did. An award never expires: break a streak and what you earned stays earned.

And you will not be doing it alone. Group meditations and challenges run on @808meditate.

Pain 3 / “I can't prove I did it”

Share the proof.

Every session becomes a card carrying your measured score, your curves and your streak. Post it to Instagram, X, or anywhere else. Not a claim that you meditated. A reading.

The share screen: a branded card with practice score 81, minutes, stillness, heart rate settle, breathing, and a 7 day streak
The how to meditate guide: a path from First time meditating through Counting Down, Body Scan, Blue Sky, Dual Awareness and more
Pain 4 / “I don't know how”

From first sit to advanced practice.

A built-in guide with eight methods, easiest first. Complete beginners start with what meditation even is, then counting down and the body scan. Further along: dual awareness, blessing the energy centers, manifestation.

Or ignore all of it. Play a guided meditation or frequency track from YouTube or Spotify, or sit in silence. The Watch measures either way.

02 / What people say

From the beta.

Finally know if I'm doing it right

I've started and quit meditating probably six times. The thing that always got me was having no idea if anything was happening. First session with this showed my heart rate dropped 14 beats when i slowed my breathing down and it showed me where on the graph. I know it sounds small but it's the first time I've had any proof I wasn't just sitting there wasting ten minutes.

Use it with my own stuff

Big one for me is I already have meditations I like on YouTube. This just runs in the background on my watch and measures. Don't have to switch to their library or listen to some voice I don't like. And I love seeing the data, like how my heart responds to different parts of the meditation
★★★★★ Julia / beta tester

Breathing tracking works

Skeptical it could pick up breathing from a wrist but it caught me slowing down at the start of a session and then speeding up later on, surprisingly accurate
★★★★★ Ayush / beta tester

Love sharing my meditations

I meditate a lot and always wanted to have a way of sharing that I do, now I send my friend my meditation score everytime
★★★★★ Maria / beta tester

Basically Strava for meditation

I track everything else so figured why not my morning meditation as well. I love the streak, keeps me accountable, and the achievements are also fun to hit
★★★★★ Gabriel / beta tester

How to guide was good

Complete beginner to meditating and tried it out with low expectations, the guide turned out to be incredibly helpful in explaining the purpose and technique to meditating. Cant wait to try out some more advanced meditations
★★★★★ Charlie / beta tester

03 / Reasonable company

People whose job is measurable performance keep arriving at the same habit.

“It's like having an anchor. If I don't do it, it feels like I'm constantly chasing the day.”

Kobe Bryant

“Transcendental Meditation has probably been the single most important reason for whatever success I've had.”

Ray Dalio

“Meditation reorders the natural flow of life… Decisions come easily, things fall into place, and there's no conflict.”

Oprah Winfrey

“It helps slow things down so that I can act calmly, even in the face of chaos, like a ninja in a street fight.”

Ray Dalio

Ran mindfulness training through Michael Jordan's and Kobe Bryant's championship years.

Phil Jackson's Bulls and Lakers

Have practised mindfulness as a team since 2011.

The Seattle Seahawks

All credit a meditation practice.

LeBron James, Novak Djokovic, Derek Jeter

Has practised Transcendental Meditation for roughly forty years.

Jerry Seinfeld

Quoted lines are verbatim and on the record. The rest describe a documented practice without putting words in anyone's mouth.

04 / The research

Meditation itself has the evidence.

Not our studies. The field's. What a steady practice has measurably done for other people:

A sharper mind +16 points

Two weeks of meditation training moved students 16 percentile points on GRE reading comprehension, in a randomized trial.2 Fourteen days, and reading the same page got measurably easier.

A calmer one 3,515 people

Across 47 randomized trials, meditation produced real reductions in anxiety and depression.3 Not a vibe. A measured shift, replicated for years.

A stronger heart 48% fewer

Deaths, heart attacks and strokes in the meditation group of a five-year trial of heart patients.5 The group that teaches the technique ran it, so hold it loosely. The American Heart Association still calls meditation a reasonable addition to standard care.4

Where these numbers come from

  4. Levine, G. N., et al. (2017). Meditation and cardiovascular risk reduction: a scientific statement from the American Heart Association. Journal of the American Heart Association, 6(10), e002218. doi:10.1161/JAHA.117.002218. A systematic review by the AHA's own councils. Its verdict is deliberately modest: meditation may be considered as an adjunct to guideline-directed care, never as a replacement for it, and the overall quality and quantity of the data are described as modest.
  5. Schneider, R. H., et al. (2012). Stress reduction in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 5(6), 750–758. doi:10.1161/CIRCOUTCOMES.112.967406. 201 Black adults with existing coronary heart disease, randomized to Transcendental Meditation or health education, followed a median 5.4 years. 48% relative reduction in the composite of death, myocardial infarction and stroke. Two things you should know: the trial was run by the Maharishi University institute that teaches the technique, and an earlier version of the paper was withdrawn by Archives of Internal Medicine in 2011, then reanalyzed and published here. It studied one technique in one population that was already ill, so it says nothing about what meditation does for a healthy person.

What these do and do not show. The research above establishes that meditation training helps. It does not show that 808 specifically will do any of this for you, and nothing here is medical advice or a reason to change anything your doctor told you. Nobody has run that trial yet, and we won't pretend otherwise.

Your mind is worth training. Start with 808.

If you meditate, or you're ready to start, 808 was made for you. Track your progress, understand your mind, and connect with a global community of practitioners.
