Companies working with us
Burnout doesn't announce itself. It just compounds.
Annual cost of mental-health absence in Germany alone
The DAK Gesundheitsreport 2024 puts psychische Erkrankungen as the #1 driver of long-term sick leave, ahead of musculoskeletal and cardiovascular causes.
Of employees report regularly feeling mentally drained at work
Cognitive fatigue reduces decision quality by up to 40%. It shows up first in meetings, then in results, long before HR notices.
30-day retention on generic mental health apps
Off-the-shelf EAP tools and meditation libraries see near-zero ongoing engagement. A benefit nobody uses doesn't lower your absence rate.
No elite athlete competes without mental training. In business we act as if we didn't need it.
Of decision quality depends on mental state
McKinsey and HBS meta-analyses suggest cognitive fatigue measurably distorts judgment. Teams systematically underestimate this effect.
More regret on decisions made under stress
Post-decision regret is significantly higher during stressed phases. Classic cases: premature pivots, bad hire-and-fire calls, reactive pricing.
Of companies use structured mental training
Although elite sport without mental coaching is unthinkable. In business it's still seen as a luxury, not a performance tool.
Three steps. Every session. Personalized for every employee.
No facilitators. No booking. No one-size-fits-all content.
Reflect
The employee writes what's on their mind, work pressure, team conflict, personal strain. Two minutes. No format required. The act of writing measurably reduces cognitive load within minutes.
AI generates their session
Based on what was just written, SYLO generates a unique guided meditation in real time. Not a pre-recorded track. A session built for this person's exact state tonight.
Recover and reset
The session guides a targeted recovery: cortisol down, HRV up, prefrontal cortex re-engaged. After session 10, the effect lands deeper than day one. The practice becomes self-sustaining.
The ResearchThe science has been settled for decades. Most companies just never had a delivery mechanism.
Cortisol drops, cognitive load lifts
Putting stress into words (expressive writing) measurably reduces perceived cognitive load within a single session. Pennebaker (1997), Psychological Science.
HRV improves, sleep quality follows
Eight weeks of consistent practice raises HRV by an average of 14–20 ms, the same marker insurers use to assess cardiovascular recovery risk. Hölzel et al. (2011), Harvard.
Grey-matter density in prefrontal cortex increases
MRI studies show structural brain changes in regions governing decision-making, focus, and emotional regulation. Lazar et al. (2005), NeuroReport.
Absence days fall, engagement scores rise
Organisations running consistent mindfulness programs report 20–35% reductions in stress-related absence. Projected from AoMM meta-analysis (2021).

In an environment with constant decision pressure, the app helps me quickly structure my thoughts and set clear priorities. I approach conversations much more calmly and make decisions more deliberately.

Measurable outcomes, not wellness theatre.
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.”
