Develop Meditation & Relaxation Apps with BrainBit
Use BrainBit hardware and our free SDK to stream real brain data, detect alpha/beta/theta activity, and deliver adaptive meditation and relaxation features on iOS, Android, Windows, and Unity (beta).
Why EEG for
Meditation & Relaxation
Most apps infer calm from motion or heart rate. BrainBit reads EEG, giving you direct insight into the brain - what’s happening during meditation and how well users recharge.
Science note
BrainBit records raw EEG and derives alpha, beta, theta rhythms. Alpha commonly increases during relaxed, calm states; beta aligns with focus, mental effort, and stress.
-
Measure stress & relaxation levels with brain-based metrics
-
Provide protocols/tools that help users discover what eases stress for them
-
Monitor mind-state changes as practice progresses
-
Let users explore their own meditation styles with real-time feedback

FAQ
-
What signals can I use?
Raw EEG with derived alpha, beta, theta, delta; mind-state indicators and heatmaps via SDK.
-
Can I measure stress and relaxation?
You can implement brain-based indicators that reflect relaxation (alpha) and effort/stress (beta) in a non-medical context.
-
Which platforms are supported?
iOS, Android, Windows, and Unity (beta).
-
Is the SDK really free?
Yes, the BrainBit SDK is free forever.
-
Is this intended for medical use?
