Hey Product Hunt! 👋🏽 I’m Neal, Founder and CEO at sona labs. Thanks for all the support, @chrismessina ! sona is a digital therapeutic that uses research-backed music to help relieve anxiety symptoms, naturally, affordably and efficiently. There’s nothing to learn or practice - just listen to original music created by Grammy-winning producers. 🎵 The app’s AI recommendation engine curates songs for you based on your anxiety level and listening habits. I started meditating in 2010 and it improved my mental health - but it took time, dedication, and practice to see results. As a music executive and record producer, I was inspired to make music that could generate benefits similar to meditation. Over the course of 4 years, I developed a series of composing techniques that help increase alpha brain wave activity to help listeners relax. We've conducted research with leading institutions like UC Berkeley and Nielsen Neuroscience and our app has been backed by world-class neuroscientists. Our mission at sona labs is to validate music as medicine. We are currently completing a clinical trial to get FDA approval and be the first music-based treatment for anxiety. 🎉 To celebrate the launch, we’re giving the Product Hunt community an extended free trial of sona premium. After you create an account, just click “get sona premium” and then “extend trial”. Enter code PRODUCTHUNT for 30 free days of premium features which include: - breath guides - timers & reminders - saving your favorite tracks - listening stats - unlimited music & more We’re always iterating and making improvements to sona, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts. All feedback is welcome! Thank you for being a part of our journey to make anxiety relief more accessible and affordable for all. Cheers, ~ Neal & team sona

Very professional interface on this product - really impressed. The right level of flexibility built-in - for instance, setting breathing rate - feels like a solid customer experience team spent time on this. A great product to help you be mindful of your own mental health after a crazy day at work 🙏

Just downloaded sona, as I think we could ALL use a little therapeutic anxiety relief lately! I've regularly relied on calming playlists to ease my stress throughout the day so this takes that idea and puts real science behind it. Genius.

Hey guys one question- why the branding is 99% similar to a local Sona pharmacy shop in USA? https://sonapharmacy.com/

Review sona?

Reviewers describe sona as a simple, user-friendly music app they reach for most often at bedtime, saying it helps them relax, fall asleep faster, and get back to sleep after waking in the night. Many also use it during work, yoga, gym sessions, walks, or household tasks, where they say it eases stress and improves focus. Several call the music uniquely soothing rather than repetitive. One founder of another organization says they recommend sona as a stress-management tool for caregivers.
