Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Moonai (MOONAI SL.) is a Barcelona, Spain-based health technology company that develops a mobile sound therapy application aimed at relieving menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome. The app delivers neuroscience-based sounds and frequencies — including binaural beats and brainwave entrainment — layered over ambient-drone soundscapes produced by selected music producers, and combines them with a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. Sessions can be personalized by users, including for goals such as mental clarity, sleep and relaxation, and the sound selection is tailored to hormonal variation and cycle phase.

Beyond audio, the product includes pain tracking insights and an educational "Learn" section covering body literacy, menstrual health, cycle synchronization and related topics, along with partner offers. The apps are distributed on the Apple App Store (iPhone, rated 13+) and Google Play (Health & Fitness category), both free to download with in-app purchases. Directory listings classify the company across healthtech, business services and software, and musictech, with AI and big data cited as underlying technologies and a business model based on SaaS and software licensing.

Moonai distributes a free-to-download consumer mobile application monetized through in-app purchases; its Catalonia startup directory profile describes the business model as SaaS and software licensing.
