In development

Know your mind.

A band that reads your brain activity — and the room you're sitting in — and tells you what actually changes how you focus, sleep and recover. Not a guess from your wrist. The signal itself.

The gap

Everything that shapes your mind is invisible while it's happening.

You know you had a bad day. You don't know whether it was the four hours of fragmented sleep, the CO₂ level in the room, the noise, or nothing at all.

Wrist wearables infer your state from heart rate and movement — useful, but second-hand. The organ doing the work is the one nobody is measuring. And no device on the market connects what your brain is doing to the environment it's doing it in.

That gap is the whole product.

What you see

Four numbers, and the reason behind each one.

Every score is measured against your own baseline — never a population average. Brains differ enormously; the signal is in how yours changed.

Brain readiness
78

How much your brain has to spend today, from last night's recovery, your current fatigue and your body clock.

Focus stability
72

Not how hard you concentrated — how consistently. Attention is measured by its drifts, not its peaks.

Mental fatigue
38

Built on shifts in your own resting rhythm and eye-closure patterns — the things that change before you feel tired.

Sleep recovery
85

Deep-sleep minutes, and whether your sleep pressure actually dissipated across the night. Only visible with EEG.

Stress load

Heart-rate variability, plus jaw-clench minutes — the tension you carry without noticing it.

Drowsiness risk

Slow eye movements, long closures and head nods. The clearest, fastest signal we can read.

Pattern changes

Opt-in. Tracks slow drift in your own long-term baseline, and suggests one thing: talk to a clinician.

Ninug is a wellness product. It does not diagnose, treat or monitor any medical condition, and it never names one.

The app

One screen in the morning. Not a dashboard to study.

You should be able to learn what you need in about four seconds, standing up, before coffee. Everything else is there if you go looking for it.

  • Readiness, and the reason for itOne number, with the single largest contributor named underneath
  • Your night, stage by stageThe actual hypnogram — not a coloured bar standing in for one
  • The day as it happenedWhere focus held, where stress climbed, how the two related
  • Confidence, shown honestlyPoor contact for three hours means a wider range or no score at all

The band

Everything measured, nothing to think about.

Dry electrodes, so there’s no gel and no ritual. One-handed to put on with your eyes shut, because that’s when you’ll actually be putting it on.

Soft knit band, dry contacts, one detachable pod. The band is washable and replaceable; the electronics are not.
  • Brain activityFrontal EEG, sampled continuously — the same signal a sleep lab records
  • Heart rate, variability, blood oxygenOptical sensing behind the ear, where the signal is cleanest
  • Movement, posture, head positionIncluding which way you sleep — something a wrist device cannot know
  • Skin temperature and conductanceBody clock, and the arousal response you don’t consciously feel
  • Light, sound, temperature, CO₂From a separate room sensor — the half of the story nobody else measures
  • All of it, on your own deviceScores are computed on the band and your phone, not on our servers

The other half

Your brain is not the only variable.

A stuffy room with the windows shut measurably degrades cognitive performance. So does noise. So does the wrong light at the wrong hour. These effects are large, well documented, and completely invisible to the person experiencing them.

01

Measure both sides

The band reads you. A small room sensor reads the air, the light and the noise. Neither is interesting alone.

02

Find the pattern

Over weeks, the correlation between the two becomes obvious — and personal. Your best conditions are not someone else's.

03

Change one thing

Open a window. Move desks. Shift a study block two hours later. Small, cheap, testable — and now you can see whether it worked.

This is the part we're most confident about. You don't need to believe anything about brain waves for it to be useful — you only need to believe that a room can be measured, and that it matters.

Who this is for

One instrument, nine different questions.

The device is the same. What you ask of it isn’t — and each of these is a different set of claims, limits and reasons to be careful.

“Picture a classroom. Twenty-four students, one teacher, and one child for whom the hum of the lights and the scrape of the chairs sound like an orchestra playing out of tune inside their head. For everyone else it's background noise. For that child it's overload. That child was me.”

— From the original project notes behind Ninug

A brain with ADHD is not broken. It is trying to survive in a world that was not designed for it. We would rather measure the world.

Beyond people

The same question, asked of something that can't answer.

A horse that hasn't lain down in six nights is REM-deprived and nobody in the yard knows. A dog's seizures happen while its owner is at work. A cow's behaviour changes days before anyone notices she's unwell.

Your data

Brain data is the most personal data there is. We treat it that way.

Raw brain activity never leaves the device unless you explicitly send it. Everything you see is computed on the band and on your phone.

  • We will never sell neural dataNot to advertisers, not to insurers, not to employers. There is no version of this product where that changes.
  • On-device by defaultIf our servers went down tonight, your band would still tell you how you slept.
  • A child's data belongs to the childTeachers see the room. Parents see patterns. Nobody gets a live feed of a child's head.
  • Deletion means deletionIncluding from backups and from anything we train on.

Early access

We're building it now.

Ninug is in development. We're looking for schools, sleep researchers, veterinary clinics and equine yards who want to test early — and for people who just want to be first in line.
