Question 1

What is Mirrora?

Accepted Answer

Mirrora is a private reflection app for guided music therapy and paint therapy. You check in with how you feel, follow a structured session arc, and review progress on your dashboard — not endless scrolling or passive playlists.

Question 2

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Create a free account at mirrora.io/signup (no credit card required). After sign-in, open Music therapy or Paint therapy from the dashboard, complete your mood and intent check-in, and follow the guided stages. Your first sessions work on the Free plan with monthly limits.

Question 3

How is Mirrora different from meditation or music apps?

Accepted Answer

Mirrora is a structured reflection system — not background content. Each session has a therapeutic arc (often Arrival, Grounding, optional Release, and Deep flow for music) shaped by your check-in. Progress, mood trends, and saved insights build over time in your dashboard.

Question 4

What are music therapy and paint therapy?

Accepted Answer

Music therapy guides you through a paced sound arc using natural, human-made recordings from independent musicians. Paint therapy offers a private canvas with adaptive brushes and the same stage-based pacing, plus session notes so you can reflect on what emerged visually.

Question 5

Should I start with music or paint?

Accepted Answer

Many people start with music to settle or regulate, then use paint when feelings need color instead of words. Mirrora’s recommendations and your dashboard trends can suggest a modality — either path is valid.

Question 6

How does the music session arc work?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are not always four stages. Mirrora plans an arc from your mood, intent, duration, distress level, and sensitive mode — often two to four blocks such as Arrival, Grounding, optional Release, then Deep flow. The player guides transitions so you stay present.

Question 7

What does a typical session look like?

Accepted Answer

Choose music or paint, complete the emotional check-in, follow the stages planned for that session, and optionally save reflections when you finish. Completed sessions appear in your dashboard with history, mood patterns, and insights you can revisit.

Question 8

How long does a session usually take?

Accepted Answer

Most sessions run about 10–20 minutes depending on how long you stay in each stage, but you set the pace. The arc structures the experience; it does not force you to rush.

Question 9

Do I need musical or artistic experience?

Accepted Answer

No. Mirrora guides pacing, prompts, and tracking. You listen inward or express freely without grades, sharing requirements, or performance pressure.

Question 10

Where does Mirrora’s music come from?

Accepted Answer

Therapy sessions use a curated catalog of natural, human-made recordings by independent musicians — not AI-generated audio. Personalized Music orders are composed and produced by human musicians from your written brief.

Question 11

What is Personalized Music?

Accepted Answer

When the catalog is close but not exact, you can commission a bespoke natural recording. Submit a brief (calm, focus, release, sleep prep, etc.), see a starting price, approve the final quote, and track production until the track is delivered to your library for use in sessions.

Question 12

How can musicians publish on Mirrora?

Accepted Answer

Independent musicians can apply through the Affiliation page. Submissions are reviewed so catalog music stays natural, human-made, and aligned with therapeutic use.

Question 13

How does the dashboard help me?

Accepted Answer

Your dashboard shows music and paint session history, mood trends over weeks, stage completion patterns, and saved LLM insights from reflections. It helps you see what actually supports your wellbeing over time.

Question 14

What are personalized recommendations?

Accepted Answer

Based on recent check-ins, session outcomes, and dashboard trends, Mirrora may suggest music, paint, or reviewing insights — with a short rationale. Suggestions are invitations; you always choose what to do next.

Question 15

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan includes a set number of music and paint sessions each month (limits reset on the calendar month). You can upgrade to Plus or Pro for higher limits, dashboard charts, and more — or unlock paid tiers temporarily through invite rewards.

Question 16

What do Plus and Pro include?

Accepted Answer

Plus and Pro raise monthly session limits, playlist capacity, and AI insight jobs. Higher tiers add dashboard charts and background AI features. Exact limits and prices are shown on the Plans page and in Settings → Subscription, loaded from your account.

Question 17

How do invite rewards unlock premium plans?

Accepted Answer

Every friend who signs up through your personal referral link and completes registration counts as a successful invite. Those invites can be redeemed to activate Plus or Pro for a limited number of days — without entering a credit card. Copy your link from the dashboard or Settings → Invite friends.

Question 18

How many invites do I need, and how long does activation last?

Accepted Answer

Required invite counts and activation length are configured per plan (for example, a number of invites for a set number of days on Plus or Pro). Your Invite hub shows available invites, redemption options, and which friends have joined. You can still subscribe with normal billing anytime.

Question 19

Will I be notified when someone uses my invite link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You receive in-app notifications when a referral signs up successfully and when a plan activation via invites completes. Important milestones may also be sent by email.

Question 20

How do billing and subscription changes work?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans can be purchased or changed under Settings → Subscription. Monthly and annual pricing is shown where configured. You can cancel or change plans according to the options in your account; invite-based activations expire after their configured period.

Question 21

How do I sign in, reset my password, or manage my account?

Accepted Answer

Use Sign in on the site header. Forgot password flows through email verification (OTP). Profile and account settings live under Settings in the dashboard after you are logged in.

Question 22

Can I use Mirrora on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mirrora runs in the browser on desktop and mobile. You can install it as a progressive web app (PWA) for quicker access from your home screen.

Question 23

Is Mirrora a replacement for therapy or medical care?

Accepted Answer

No. Mirrora supports personal reflection and emotional awareness. It does not diagnose conditions or replace licensed mental-health professionals. If you are in crisis, contact emergency services or a qualified provider immediately.

Question 24

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Sessions and reflections are stored for your personal progress. Mirrora is built for private self-reflection — not social feeds or public leaderboards. See our privacy policy for how data is handled.

Question 25

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Signed-in users can send a message from the Contact page (tied to your account email for faster help). You can also email support@mirrora.io. We typically respond within two business days.
