## About

Guided meditation and mindfulness app for stress relief and better sleep

## Activity summary

Headspace is restricted in Syria. Community testing in July 2026 found the site browsable but its authentication endpoint refusing Syrian connections with a denial page that printed the visitor's own IP, so accounts cannot be created or signed into. A volunteer emailed Headspace's press address in March 2026 and no reply has followed.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-27 — Verified. Community testing from Syria (Damascus, desktop Chrome) confirmed that Headspace blocks account access for Syrian users. Requests to the authentication endpoint at auth.headspace.com return a denial page reading «Error. Denied.», stating that the request was blocked to protect the requested service. The page printed the visitor's Syrian IP address alongside a request reference, confirming the refusal was tied to the connection's origin rather than a transient fault. Browsing works, but signing up and logging in do not. Status updated from unknown to restricted.

- 2026-03-15 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Headspace's press team at press@headspace.com requesting that service access be restored for users in Syria. The email referenced the December 2025 OFAC sanctions lift and EU sanctions removal, included links to official U.S. Treasury documentation, and noted that several other platforms have already resumed services in Syria.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
