Why We Built Gratitui
Feel better at the beach. That’s the simple promise of Gratitui, a VR app designed to transport you to stunning 360˚ beaches around the world—right from your headset—and guide you through powerful, grounding gratitude practices.
At its heart, Gratitui was born from two universal truths: 🌀 The beach heals. 🌀 Gratitude rewires the mind.
The Vision
Gratitui began with a personal truth: when life felt overwhelming, gratitude was my reset button. It helped me find calm, build emotional reserves, and shift into a clearer, more open state of mind.
As a longtime video producer and wellness explorer, I saw an opportunity—what if people could escape to beautiful beaches and experience that same clarity using the immersive magic of VR?
That question led to Gratitui, the flagship app from PraiaVR, a studio dedicated to using VR for mindfulness, relaxation, and mental well-being.
Why the Beach
Science backs what we feel intuitively—being near water reduces stress, lowers heart rate, and activates your parasympathetic nervous system (your body’s "rest and digest" mode). Combine that with gratitude—a practice proven to improve mood, increase resilience, and literally rewire the brain—and you’ve got a potent recipe for peace.
Gratitui gives you that combo: beautiful 360° beaches + guided gratitude meditations = a better mental state in just five minutes.
A Ritual That Works
We built ritual into the app because rituals work. Lighting a virtual candle, striking a singing bowl, holding prayer beads—these simple actions ground you and signal to the mind: this is sacred time. It’s your pause, your reset, your moment.
And because no one tool fits all, we’re partnering with experts in meditation, movement, music, and sound healing to expand what’s available to you—so you can find the rituals and meditations that fit your rhythm.
