Everything about Raki, answered.

Raki is an AI-powered meditation, sleep, and breathing app available on iOS and Android. Unlike Calm or Headspace, Raki adapts its session recommendations to your mood, sleep patterns, and history — giving you a personalized practice rather than a one-size-fits-all library. It includes guided meditations, breathing exercises, sleep sounds, focus sessions, and an AI companion.

Calm and Headspace give every user the same content regardless of who they are or what they need. Raki's AI learns from your mood check-ins, session history, sleep quality, and behavioral patterns — then adapts what it recommends in real time. It's the difference between a library and a personal coach.

Raki's AI tracks signals across every interaction: your emotional check-in data, which sessions you complete vs. skip, your sleep quality trends, how long you engage with different content types, and more. It uses these signals to recommend the right session for your current state — not just what's popular or what you last opened.

Raki takes privacy seriously. Your wellness data is never sold or shared with advertisers. The app contains no ads. Data collected (mood check-ins, session history, sleep patterns) is used only to power your personalization and is stored securely.

Yes. Raki includes AI-guided sleep meditations personalized to your nightly wind-down state, a library of 40+ sleep sounds (rain, ocean, white noise, brown noise, binaural), 4-7-8 breathing exercises specifically for falling asleep, and progressive body scan meditations. The AI tracks what helps you sleep and adapts its recommendations over time.

4-7-8 breathing (inhale 4 counts, hold 7, exhale 8) is one of the most effective techniques for falling asleep — it activates your parasympathetic nervous system and lowers heart rate. Raki guides you through it with a visual timer and optional audio coaching.

Yes — Raki includes rain sounds, ocean waves, forest ambience, café noise, brown noise, white noise, and binaural audio. All loop seamlessly and can be set to stop after a timer. They can be used independently or layered under a guided meditation.

Yes. Sleep anxiety (the anxiety about not being able to sleep) is one of the most common patterns Raki addresses. The app includes specific sessions that address racing thoughts at bedtime, using a combination of breathing regulation, body scan, and guided cognitive defusion techniques.

Raki includes: box breathing (4-4-4-4) for general anxiety and focus, 4-7-8 breathing for sleep, physiological sigh (double inhale + long exhale) for acute stress, coherent breathing (5-5) for heart rate variability training, and diaphragmatic breathing basics. All come with animated visual guides.

Yes. Raki includes grounding exercises and rapid breathing techniques (physiological sigh, box breathing) designed for acute stress and panic. The physiological sigh in particular has strong research support for quickly reducing the feeling of panic by offloading excess CO₂.

Yes. Raki includes sessions specifically for pre-social-situation anxiety — breathing techniques to use before presentations or difficult conversations, mindfulness exercises that reduce self-monitoring, and a daily check-in system that helps you understand your anxiety patterns over time.

The physiological sigh technique can reduce feelings of acute stress within 60 seconds. Box breathing takes 3–5 minutes to shift your nervous system state. Most users report feeling noticeably calmer after completing their first full session.

Yes. Raki's focus meditations are specifically designed for restless minds. Sessions are short (5–15 min), structured with clear anchors, and can be paired with focus soundscapes. The AI adapts recommendations to your attention patterns. Many users with ADHD report Raki is the first meditation app that worked for them.

No — Raki is a wellness tool, not a medical treatment. For clinically diagnosed ADHD, always work with a healthcare provider. That said, meditation has genuine research support for improving attention regulation and emotional dysregulation in ADHD adults as a complementary practice.

Raki improves focus through a combination of: short guided meditations that train sustained attention, focus soundscapes (brown noise, binaural, café) that reduce distraction, and breathing exercises that regulate your nervous system before deep work. The AI recommends sessions timed to your self-reported energy levels.

Raki offers a 7-day free trial with full access to all features. The daily emotional check-in is free forever. After the trial, Premium costs $7.99/month or $49.99/year (save 48%). Cancel any time — no questions asked.

The free version includes: unlimited daily emotional check-ins with AI reflection, access to a selection of guided sessions, and basic breathing exercises. Premium unlocks the full session library (200+), all sleep sounds, AI personalization, the AI companion chat, habit tracking, and weekly wellness insights.

iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Raki → Cancel. Android: Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Raki → Cancel. Your access continues until the end of your billing period.

Yes — Raki includes a growing library of premium sleep stories for adults: immersive, slow-paced narratives set in peaceful locations (a rain cabin, forest at dusk, lighthouse on a calm coast, mountain meadow) narrated by a calming AI voice. Unlike story podcasts, every Raki sleep story is designed to slow your mind down for sleep — no plot twists, no tension. New stories are added weekly.

Calm's sleep stories feature celebrity narrators and produced audio. Raki's sleep stories are AI-generated, which means new stories ship weekly and the library grows continuously — with themes chosen based on what's most effective for sleep (sensory-rich nature scenes, cozy interiors, slow travel). The narration is warm and calm without requiring high-production costs, keeping Raki's pricing lower.

Yes. Raki sleep stories are designed to be used with or without headphones. The sleep timer lets you set a stop time (15, 30, or 45 minutes) so the audio stops automatically while you're drifting off. No alarm, no abrupt pause — it fades out.

Yes — Raki includes Community Spaces: warm, moderated topic communities where members share wins, ask questions, and support each other. Spaces include Anxiety Support, Better Sleep, Gratitude Circle, Work Stress Relief, and more. Posts are keyword-scanned for safety. Anonymous posting is available. No likes or follower counts — just real conversation.

An accountability partner is a specific person (friend, partner, colleague) you pair with for daily check-ins. Each morning, you see whether your partner has checked in that day — and they see yours. It's a private, one-on-one structure that creates gentle social accountability without comparison or competition. You invite someone via a shared link.

Yes. Raki includes private peer challenges — you and friends compete (or collaborate) toward goals like a 7-day streak, 10 meditation sessions, or program completion. Group challenges add a collective progress bar: everyone contributes to the same goal, visible to all members.

Yes — Raki for Teams gives employees full premium access funded by their employer. Employers get an HR dashboard with anonymized wellness trends (utilization rate, average streak, engagement over time), department management, bulk employee inviting via CSV, and a Slack integration for daily check-ins. Plans start at $10/seat/month with a 30-day free trial.

Yes. The Raki Slack integration lets employees check in directly from any Slack channel using /luma checkin — a modal appears with the emotion selector, and the check-in syncs to their Raki account. The bot also posts a weekly team wellbeing digest to a designated channel. Zero additional apps or context-switching needed.

The HR dashboard shows: active vs. total seat utilization, weekly check-in trend (aggregated — no individual data visible), average team streak, employees at risk of disengagement (14+ days inactive, count only), and a quarterly ROI report showing cost per engaged employee. All data is aggregated and anonymized to protect employee privacy.

Yes. Raki is available on both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android. Both versions have full feature parity.

Yes. Raki has offline support for downloaded sessions and cached breathing exercises. You'll need internet for AI-personalized recommendations and the AI companion chat, but core meditation and breathing content is available offline.

Raki integrates with Apple Health to log wellness data and session completions. A dedicated Apple Watch app is on the roadmap.
