Mave uses brain stimulation to support mood, focus, and sleep

Modern life is exhausting in ways that don’t show up on a fitness tracker. Screen time keeps climbing. We’re outsourcing more of our thinking to AI. Social connection has given way to isolation. And work that never really stops. The cumulative effect is a brain running on fumes: scattered attention, low-grade stress, and sleep that doesn’t restore.

Mave was designed to address the problem.

Introducing Mave

Mave is a wearable headset designed to support mood, focus, and stress regulation in 20-minute daily sessions. It uses transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to deliver targeted, low-intensity electrical signals to the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s command center for executive function, emotional regulation, and impulse control).

What you get

The Mave system pairs a lightweight headset with a companion app (iOS and Android). The app tracks your progress, personalizes stimulation sessions, and connects with other health wearables to show how tDCS influences metrics like HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep performance—with no subscription required.

At roughly 100 grams (3.52 oz), Mave is the lightest tDCS headset available. A single 2-hour charge lasts about a month of daily sessions, and the patented adjustable design fits different head shapes and sizes. The kit includes a travel-friendly dock for sessions anywhere.

How it works

Getting started takes about a minute:

1. Strap in and adjust the headset for a comfortable fit.
2. Open the app and tap to start (each session runs for 20 minutes).
3. Get on with your day. Mave works passively in the background, so progress happens without pausing your routine.

Mave’s approach is built on 25 years of tDCS research from leading clinics and universities. The brand recommends five sessions per week over your first six weeks using Mave to strengthen the prefrontal cortex and build improvements in focus, mood, and mental clarity. After that, you shift to two sessions per week to reinforce the brain’s adaptations and support long-term gains.

Early user results show promise

Mave’s internal data shows meaningful improvements across multiple measures. After four weeks of consistent use, 8 in 10 users saw more than a 60% increase in productivity and motivation. Mood improved by an average of 77%. Three in four users showed a 50% reduction in stress from their baseline
