Orb: Smart tracker for better mental health. Biofeedback device to master meditation, wellness focus, anxiety, manage stress & ADHD strategies. Mindfulness, emotional regulation self-care gift

I have ADHD, and finding tools that actually help me calm down and focus is no small thing.This Orb has been one of the few that truly makes a difference.The soft lights are incredibly soothing, and the real-time biofeedback gives me something tangible to focus on - something I didn't know I needed until I had it.It's beautifully designed, feels great in the hand, and the packaging is just so pretty and cool!The whole experience feels thoughtful and intentinal. Using it regularly has helped me build awareness and tools I can take into the rest of my day - like emotional training wheels.My only tiny note is that pairing it with the app was a bit tricky the first time, but once it was connected, it worked like a charm ever since.Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, grounding, effective tool!!

I don't normally write product reviews, nor do I normally buy things like this, but both kind of happened on a whim.... So here we are!Anyway, I think this is a pretty awesome tool. To explain why, I present to you a story:Before the pandemic I had a decent habit of going to yoga classes once or twice a week. One thing I really appreciated about the classes was having a guide (the instructor) that could help me with my practice. The instructor both helped make sure I was doing moves correctly and was able to give me feedback in order to help me improve.The reflect orb acts like a guide for meditation in a similar manner. If desired, you can watch the rings in real time to get a sense of how alert or calm you are in the moment and/or if you set up and sync with the app, which I recommend doing, you can wait until your session ends and you can look back on the session data to see how it went. This feedback helps me to see how effective the current meditation approach is for me. I've figured out that some breathing techniques work better for me and certainly some environments work better for me. While it can be adorable to have my cat begging for attention during my attempted meditation, it typically doesn't lead to the best session. So, I try to meditate with some space between us when I can. 😃So far I haven't been too surprised by what I've seen based on how I'm feeling, but I really like being able to keep track of all of that data and seeing how it has changed and will change over time.The app also has a lot of other nice features to help encourage consistent practices and mindfulness beyond just the immediate session. It's a silly easy thing, but I really like the notifications I set through the app to remind myself to meditate. I have a bit of a problem with goofing off way too late into the night, so I set nightly reminders encouraging myself to meditate. I don't always listen to these notifications, but when I do I certainly sleep better.The app also encourages journaling how your session went, which I've been enjoying way more than I thought I would. I've never been too big into journaling, but here I am continuing to write after a session. Maybe I'm learning new things about myself?Okay, enough rambling. I definitely recommend this to anyone looking to get into meditation or anyone who already likes it, but would like a guide of sorts to help them explore it further.Hope this helps!

About two weeks in, and I am very happy with the Reflect. I have tried a few biofeedback devices for reducing stress and anxiety, and the Reflect is the easiest to use and most responsive. The accompanying app is great, and its dashboard makes it easy to track progress and maintain regularity in the timing of my sessions. I am still experimenting with breathing and environment factors (sound or no sound, sitting or reclining, etc.), and the simplicity of the design accommodates whatever I have tried so far. And it looks so nice, I don't mind leaving it out - almost like a little sculpture placed intentionally on the coffee table.--

I'm not sure what my stress levels were before, but I'm pretty sure they're very high now. I was really hoping this would help with my son's anxiety but it was nothing but an extremely frustrating experience. The Bluetooth connectivity is abysmal, and the light just spins and spins. I managed to get it connected a couple times but every time I navigated to a different tab in the app, it would require me to connect again. Then, when trying to use it, the device would work for a minute, but if you let go for a second, the light would just spin blue. The power button does literally nothing, and when you plug it in to charge, the light blinks very bright white, which is annoying on a nightstand. And, I'm a software engineer, so it's not like I'm not savvy with technology. I love the idea of a biofeedback device, but this one is so poorly designed, I wouldn't pay $20 for it, let alone $200.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love it — it’s really helped me so far!I’ve been using the Orb for a few days now, and I’m genuinely impressed with how much it’s helped me stay grounded and focused. The biofeedback is super intuitive, and it’s made a big difference in how I manage stress and anxiety. I especially love using it during meditation — it helps me get into the right mindset much faster. It’s also been useful for staying on track with my wellness goals and even helps with focus during work (ADHD here!). A great self-care tool and a thoughtful gift for anyone looking to improve their mental health.

I purchased this device almost a year ago. I’ve had to replace it once about 6 months under the manufacturer’s warranty because it stopped working and wouldn’t sync. The new one I received is having issues now. It times out in the middle of a session and takes forever to sync. I have to make sure the device is plugged in to charge and reload the app like 5x before it will sync my data. It makes me feel stressed and that’s the opposite of what it’s supposed to do. I had high hopes for this and I like it when I can get it to work but it’s too glitchy!!!
