Honest answers
About
What is MonkBun?
A small, holdable companion for checking in with yourself. Tell it how you are and how long you've got; it plays a short guided session to meet you there. It also breathes with you, times your focus, and remembers what helped.
So it's a meditation app?
No, there's no app. MonkBun is a complete little device: everything happens on it, in your hand.
How it works
Do I need my phone?
No. MonkBun is complete in itself: pick it up and it works, with everything happening on the device. Wi-Fi is optional, and the details of setup are still being shaped; the waitlist hears those decisions first.
Can I plug in headphones?
Today's working prototype plays out loud through its own built-in speaker; it's made for your bedside table and your desk. The final hardware is still being decided, so we won't promise either way yet - the waitlist hears these decisions first.
Who it's for
I don't meditate. Is this for me?
That's most of the people we're building it for. If your version of this is "I sleep badly", "I can't switch off in the evenings", or "my head won't idle", that's exactly the moment MonkBun is built around.
Is MonkBun for ADHD?
MonkBun was born from a brain that doesn't sit still, and it's built with different minds in mind. Mindfulness has real, researched benefits for attention, and real limits. MonkBun is not a treatment, not therapy, and not a substitute for medication or professional support. If mindfulness hasn't stuck for you before, think of it as a fresh way in, alongside whatever help already works for you.
Getting one
When can I get one?
It's in active development; working prototypes exist and are in daily use, and we're honest about the rest: no promised date yet. The waitlist hears everything first.
How much will it cost?
Not final. When we set the price, the waitlist hears before anyone else.
