The HeadRest home screen. Under 'Good evening.' a card asks 'What's on your mind?' with 'I keep getting into arguments with my mom and I make her really angry but then I feel guilty too' typed in.
The next step in HeadRest. 'Let's go a bit deeper' above a reflection that reads 'So much work sitting there while you keep drifting into procrastination — the pressure and stuck feeling can pile up fast. See if any of these resonate,' with three options to choose from.
✦ How it works

Say it plainly. Hear it back as something older.

No library to scroll. No technique to master. You describe where you are, and HeadRest meets you there.

01

Tell it what happened

In your own words, typed or spoken. A frustration, a fear, a quiet ache — whatever is actually present.

02

Go one layer deeper

HeadRest reflects back what it heard and offers a few readings of it. You pick the one that lands.

03

Listen to what it makes

A meditation written for that moment, drawn from a teaching that has held it before. Usually ten to fifteen minutes.

✦ The library

Anxiety. Self-doubt. Procrastination. Sleep.

Alongside what HeadRest writes for you, there are collections built for the things that come back — each one a set of eighteen tracks.

Trying to Break Addiction

18 tracks

Open any collection and you'll find the thought itself written out — "I keep replaying the same conversation over and over" — with a meditation waiting behind it.

✦ Wisdom

Meet the ones who mastered the mind.

Short readings on self-worth, courage and feeling behind — taken from the lives of people who came through the same thing, and from the books that outlasted them.
