If you're already meditating, Headspace keeps selling you content you don't need. tr8ck tracks your meditation practice and shows you how it's actually affecting your sleep quality, mood, and anxiety — with data, not encouragement.

Headspace has thousands of guided sessions, sleep sounds, focus music, and mindfulness exercises. For someone who wants to learn meditation or needs guided support, it's genuinely valuable. The limitation: its business model is selling you more content. Once you have a practice, Headspace has nothing new to offer — and it never shows you whether any of it is working.
After years of meditating with Headspace, you have thousands of sessions completed — but zero data about their health impact. Headspace can tell you your streak. It cannot tell you whether you sleep better when you meditate in the morning versus evening, or whether your anxiety scores have improved over the past six months.

These are the insights that emerge when you actually track your meditation practice alongside your health data — the kind of personalized intelligence that no content app can provide.
Does meditating in the morning or evening have a stronger effect on your sleep quality that night? tr8ck can tell you — for your specific data.
Does your mood score actually improve after 5+ consecutive days of practice? tr8ck measures your actual response — not what the research says on average.
Is 10 minutes as effective as 20 for you personally? tr8ck correlates your session duration with your mood and sleep outcomes to find your optimal length.
If you're still learning to meditate, use both. Headspace for guided sessions and content. tr8ck to log each session and track the health effects. Over time, you'll build a clear picture of what your practice is actually doing to your sleep, mood, and wellbeing.
