Trash annoying cringe tracks

Literally every track sounds like a 9 year old made it. There is absolutely ZERO good tracks.

Thought it was a gimmick at first

If this product wasn’t endorsed by Mark Manson and came with a free trial, I wouldn’t have given it a shot. It sounds like snake oil, but within two days of using it I had made my mind up and purchased the service for the next year. I’m current on year two and use Brain.FM weekly. It allows me to block out all outside noises and chatter and deep dive into my work for hours. I’m not sure what the science is behind it, but it works. I have a brain that likes to wonder, just as I’m sure the majority of you do, and it helps massively in reeling it in. My mind doesn’t stray when I’m in “Deep Work” mode.

I’d suggest giving the trail a shot. You will see.

Helps me focus and sleep

I have been using this app for 6 months and it has helped me a lot with focus and sleep. Definitely worth what you pay for it in my opinion.

Super helpful!!

Omg this app has actually helped me lock tf in. Even though I still get distracted every so often, this app has significantly reduced the amount of times I get distracted.
Pro tip: Listen with noise isolating or noise cancelling headphones
