Description
Hi, I’m Toby and I created Brightmind.
If you’re here, you probably already know meditation is valuable. The real question is: why Brightmind? The answer is a principle that guides everything I do: “As simple as possible—but no simpler.”
You see, meditation apps fail people in two opposite ways. Sometimes, they make it over complicated and abstract. Other times, it’s oversimplified—pleasant, calming, but ultimately shallow. Brightmind lives perfectly in the middle. I’ve simplified all the stuff that can be simplified, but I’ve been very careful to leave the essence that gives meditation its transformative power.
My principle of as simple as possible, but no simpler is reflected everywhere in Brightmind—the guided meditations, app design, and community.
Guided Meditations
Most meditation apps offer hundreds of sessions that all kinda blur together. Focus on the breath, notice thoughts, relax. That’s a good start, but it’s too simple and lacks precision.
Brightmind is the most comprehensive meditation system in the world. You’ll learn a wide range of techniques, rigorously organized so the system feels approachable, not overwhelming.
App Design
Other apps hand you a massive library, which creates two problems: every time you open the app, you have to decide what to practice, and the learning never builds because you’re all over the place.
Brightmind solves this with a single, expert-designed Journey. There’s nothing to decide, just open the app and press play. And each session builds on the last, so learning sophisticated practices is a breeze over time.
Community
Other apps mostly offer guided meditation. That’s too simple.
For meditation to not just take the edge of stress, but to transform your life, that requires connection—people who practice alongside you and support you. Brightmind helps you make meditator super friends through our:
- Community Chat - Live Daily Sits - 1-on-1 Coaching - Half-Day & Multi-Day Retreats
As I think you can see, my principle of as simple as possible, but no simpler is gonna help you grow fast. You’ll experience more stress relief, joy, behavior change--and all the other benefits of meditation--than you ever thought possible.
Brightmind is meditation made simple, but not simplistic. Let’s begin.
About Us
Toby Sola
Toby Sola is dedicated to helping you create a feedback loop between your meditation practice and your ability to make the world a better place. So the more you meditate, the more effective you are in the world. And the more effective you are, the deeper your meditation practice becomes.
Toby has been teaching meditation for two decades. His craft as a teacher has been refined through years of monastic training and close collaboration with the world-renowned teacher Shinzen Young. Toby is an award-winning designer and the founder of Brightmind.
Shinzen Young
Shinzen Young trained for a decade in monasteries in Asia, and has been teaching in the West for over 50 years. As the Co-director of the SEMA lab, he’s now at the forefront of contemplative neuroscience. So Shinzen is unique in that he brings together an authentic and deep understanding of meditation with the rigor and precision of modern science.
Shinzen likes to say of himself: “I’m a Jewish-American Buddhist teacher who got turned on to comparative mysticism by an Irish-Catholic priest and who has developed a Burmese-Japanese fusion practice inspired by the spirit of quantified science.” : )

I find that it is a clear approach to meditation. Moves is slow steps and does not overwhelm you
★★★★★G Parker· Jan 7, 2026
Having dabbled in meditation for some time, I wanted to finally deepen my practice and Bright mind has enabled me to do this. As others point out, this is so much more than just a meditation app: it is a course, teaching you a comprehensive mindfulness system in a methodical and expertly guided way. I have learned techniques and ideas that I can carry with me for the rest of my life (and which really work!). Thank you so much Toby and Shin zen.
★★★★★Edward Barnett· Mar 2, 2022
I really liked studying through the course with Shin zen. I've been enjoying these meditations for quite a while now. I find these to be the best mental 'workouts' when I really want to put some time into getting better at mindfulness through practicing meditation and developing awareness 'techniques'. I'd also like to say thanks to Toby. I reached out to him recently and got a great response. All the best.

Should be upfront about fees and these fees are silly high by the by
★★☆☆☆Tiffany Minter· Jun 10, 2024
Wow really was just starting to dig in and enjoying this app then the free trial ended, and seriously who can afford $99 for an app? Isn't the point of creating mental health and wellness tools and resources to help people who can't afford otherwise? Really sucks... I mean I understand wanting to make money for creating and your hard work...but I think that people would be surprised and rewarded by the universe in other ways if they didn't try and get money especially soo much off of everything.

I admire the creators' knowledge with meditation as a whole there is no question Toby is an expert in his field. What I am having difficulty with is the price. It's too steep and there is only one option for a subscription and that is annually and only in USD. If you live outside the USA in courties where inflation is a daily occurrence then the price astronomical. I shall seek other alternatives that ask for my countries currency for a subscription.
