An editorial reading of the saved reviews

The app uses the phone's flashlight to induce visual states: the effect is real but unpredictable. Some users report deep relaxation and unusual visual experiences. Others report headaches, nausea, and in one documented case a seizure. A niche product requiring medical caution.

What people use it for

Curious people without photosensitivity or neurological disorders who are looking for a non-standard way out of anxiety and are willing to accept physiological risk.

What reviews praise

  • For some people with chronic insomnia and PTSD individual sessions produce a quick transition to a relaxed state.
  • The uniqueness of the mechanism attracts those for whom traditional meditation doesn't work.

What reviews complain about

  • Users must hold the phone 3-5 cm from closed eyes throughout a session, making it impossible to relax the hands.
  • Some session guide voices feel robotic and break immersion.
