Three shifts putting workplace health budgets under pressure
Mental-health related sick days since 2019
DAK health report 2024. Mental health is now the leading cause of long-term absences.
Direct cost per sick day
BAuA production loss costs 2023: direct gross employer cost per absence day. Including productivity loss, replacement and overhead, the total burden compounds into a multiple of that.
Usage rate of traditional EAP offerings
Most employees call only when it's already too late. Phone hotlines are reactive, not preventive. Source: iga-Report on uptake of traditional workplace mental-health offerings.
Three layers. No guru. No workshop.
SYLO is not a journaling app. It's a structured protocol for people who don't have time for workshops.
Check-in: Let the head let go
What used to be a call with your best friend, a journal entry at midnight or an expensive mentoring hour: SYLO condenses it into two minutes. A reflection chat that knows you a little better with every session. The head puts down the load before it becomes the burden.
Personalized meditation: Trained & Relaxed
No generic audio library. SYLO learns with every session how you tick: what drives you, what blocks you, where you stand right now. The tenth meditation lands deeper than the first. Targeted training: extend focus, shift perspective, develop self-empathy. Natural voice. No incense-stick aesthetic.
Progress that becomes routine
Stop measuring and you stop growing. You see exactly which milestones lie ahead of you and when, based on published science, to expect which changes. A habit turns into a routine. A routine turns into a fixed part of your day.
What studies suggestImpact is measurable. Time-staged.
First relief
Users report a direct reduction in perceived stress after the very first session and a noticeable cognitive distance from acute triggers.
Patterns emerge
Employees recognize their recurring challenges. Reflection becomes a habit, not a duty.
Resilience rises
Studies on mindfulness-based interventions suggest measurable reductions in stress scores. We observe similar patterns in our cohorts.
Structural resilience
Sustained reduction of mental-health sick days at team level. HR reports show the shift. Workplace health turns proactive, not reactive.
Studies suggest these effects. SYLO is not a medical device and does not replace therapy.
"We build SYLO because we've personally experienced what pressure in finance and sales does to you. We wanted a tool that keeps us clear, not one that tries to enlighten us."
Noah Schömann, Co-Founder SYLO
Under the hoodState-of-the-art AI. Hosted in Europe.
We run the leading AI models for reflection and voice. The edge sits in our GDPR-compliant deployment and in how we specifically train our prompts for mental-health groundwork.
Claude (Anthropic)By far the best model on the market. Integrated into SYLO from day one for reflection dialogue and safe, traceable AI communication.
ElevenLabsBy far the best voice on the market, indistinguishable from a human. Essential for SYLO because audio guidance only works when it feels real.
What users are reporting
What operators say
Real teams. No wellness theatre.
“As a founder you make twenty decisions a day, and you take all of them to bed with you. SYLO sorts through it with me: no platitudes, just questions that actually move me forward. First app I'm still using after two weeks.”
“Our team is a small group of operators with no patience for performative wellness. SYLO is the only mental fitness product that survived their bullshit detector. It is now part of how we work.”
“I gave the team access for a month without telling them it was a test. I wanted to see if it survived without sponsorship from leadership. It did. Three months later, half the team still opens it every week.”
“As a founder you're constantly told to push harder. SYLO was the first thing that made me realise recovery is not a break from the work. It's what makes the work possible.”
“As an owner you make more decisions in a day than one head should carry. By evening the loop is still spinning. SYLO sorts that out. Not in fifty minutes, in eight. And it fits what actually happened, not a generic script.”
“In phases of hypergrowth, tight deadlines and investor expectations, keeping a clear head is everything. The risk of making emotionally charged decisions in the heat of the moment is always there.”
