Plena: The Only Mindfulness App with Stress Zones, Intentions, and Readiness Scores

What Makes Plena Different
- WATCH-FIRST: Start from Apple Watch with live data streaming to iPhone
- STRESS ZONES: See Calm/Optimal/Elevated zones update in real-time
- INTENTIONS + REFLECTIONS: Set goals before, record insights after
- READINESS BREAKDOWN: Daily score with metric contributions explained
- MIND-BREATH-BODY: Built on the triangle of HR, HRV, and respiration
- PRIVACY-FIRST: Health data stays on your device, never shared
The Triangle: Mind, Breath, Body
The triangle represents the three core rhythms of human calm:
- Heart Rate reflects moment-to-moment activity
- HRV shows adaptability and stress balance
- Breath regulates the entire system
When in harmony, they create balance. That's what Plena measures in real time.
