Frequently asked questions

Cognic is an evidence-based meditation app that combines neuroscience research, AI-guided sessions, and structured protocols to measurably improve focus, stress resilience, and cognitive performance. No mysticism — just science.

Cognic is free to download and includes tools like the meditation timer, breathing exercises, and journal at no cost. AI-generated guided meditations are a premium feature. Our goal is to make evidence-based meditation as accessible as possible.

Cognic is currently available on iOS (iPhone and iPad). We're focused on delivering the best possible experience on iOS first, with plans to expand to other platforms in the future.

Most meditation apps are built around general mindfulness content. Cognic is built around cognitive neuroscience — every protocol is grounded in peer-reviewed research on attention, emotional regulation, and neuroplasticity. Sessions are structured like training programs, not ambient audio.

Yes. Decades of research published in journals like Nature Neuroscience, JAMA, and Psychological Science demonstrate that meditation produces measurable changes in brain structure and function — including improved attention, reduced stress hormones, and enhanced emotional regulation. Our research page covers the key studies.

Evidence-based meditation refers to practices that have been studied in controlled, peer-reviewed research and shown to produce specific, measurable cognitive or physiological benefits. Cognic focuses exclusively on these validated techniques rather than tradition-based approaches.

Cognic uses AI to generate personalized guided meditations based on your goals, experience level, and preferences. Each session adapts to your needs rather than playing the same generic recording. The AI draws from validated meditation protocols to create sessions that are both unique and scientifically grounded.

AI-guided sessions require an internet connection to generate personalized content. However, certain features like timer-based meditation and previously generated sessions can be accessed offline.

Cognic offers multiple AI meditation guides, each with a unique voice and style. You can choose the voice that resonates most with you to lead your sessions — guiding you through each phase of a meditation protocol. Every voice adapts to your settings and goals to deliver sessions tailored specifically to you.

Cognic collects only the minimum data needed to provide the service — your email for account creation and session preferences to personalize your experience. We never sell your data to third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

You can request complete removal of your data through our Data Removal page. We'll delete all your personal information and account data within a reasonable timeframe, as required by applicable privacy regulations.
