Every sound in Nocturne is generated live on your iPhone. It never loops, never repeats, and never runs out — because there's no audio file to run out of. Most binaural apps ship stereo files with the same tone in both ears. There's no second frequency, so there's nothing for your brain to build a beat from. Pull Nocturne apart and you'll find two real tones, every time. 73+ SOUNDS - Binaural and isochronic beats — 0.5 Hz to 40 Hz, delta through gamma - Seven colours of noise — white, pink, brown, grey, green, blue, violet - Nature — rain, ocean, forest, thunderstorm, stream, fire, night, snowfall - Generative music — slow chords and singing bowls, composed as you listen - Full recorded tracks — deep ocean, rain on a roof, felt piano, forest at dawn BUILD YOUR OWN Pick any frequency. Layer any bed under it. Set the balance. Save it forever. No other app in this category lets you own the sound this way. GUIDED JOURNEYS Frequencies that move instead of sitting still. Sleep Descent walks you from 10 Hz down to 2 Hz across 45 minutes. Deep Work Ignition ramps you into beta and finishes on 40 Hz gamma. The 7-Day Neural Reset takes one night at a time. FOR QUIET EARS Notched noise centred near 6 kHz — a studied approach for tinnitus relief — plus violet noise for high-pitched ringing and brown noise for sleeping through it. BACKDROP MODE Layer Nocturne under Spotify, podcasts and audiobooks, each at its own volume. Most apps take the audio session and refuse to share it. WORKS OFFLINE, FOREVER No streaming, no buffering, no account. A nine-hour session takes the same space as a nine-minute one, because both are calculated as they play. HONEST ABOUT THE SCIENCE Research on brainwave entrainment is good but not magic. A 2019 meta-analysis across 22 studies found real effects on anxiety, memory and pain perception, and the effect grew the longer people listened. We'll never claim DNA repair, IQ gains or a cure for anything.

AN EVEN BETTER LIBRARY Seven colours of noise — white, pink, brown, grey, green, blue and violet. Seventeen nature beds. Sixteen generative music pieces that compose themselves while you listen. Browse by sound instead of by frequency. EIGHT NEW NATURE RECORDINGS, INCLUDED Thunderstorm, forest, stream, fireplace, summer night, cave, waterfall and underwater. Full length, offline, no download. Lay a live binaural beat under any of them. REBUILT FROM THE WAVEFORM UP Every tone is quieter and level-matched across the frequency range, so a 528 Hz tone no longer arrives louder than a 160 Hz one. Every bed has been re-tuned to take the harshness out of the top end. Nothing clicks when you switch between sounds. IT GETS QUIETER AS YOU FALL ASLEEP Sleep sessions now fade the individual events — raindrops, crackles, bells — and let the steady bed carry the night. Music fades out entirely after about half an hour, because it helps you fall asleep and then stops helping. BELLS HAVE THEIR OWN CONTROL Turn them all the way off. Several pieces ship with no bells at all. BUILD IT WHILE IT PLAYS Change the frequency, the bed, the music and the balance without ever restarting playback. A NEW BEGINNING Onboarding now shows you what a binaural beat actually is — two tones drifting apart and the third one your brain builds between them — instead of asking you to take our word for it. ### 1.2 — 2026-08-19 A much bigger Nocturne. - A new sound library — seven colours of noise, eighteen nature beds, and generative music that composes itself while you listen - Five full-length recorded tracks, included and offline: Deep Ocean, Rain on a Roof, Forest at First Light, Felt Piano, Deep Rest - Rebuilt from the ground up: every tone is 20% softer, every bed has been re-tuned to take the harshness out of the top end - Build your own sound live — change the frequency, the bed, the music and the balance without ever restarting playback - A new onboarding that actually explains what a binaural beat is, and shows you the two tones instead of asking you to trust us - Faster, quieter, and gentler on your ears at 3am ### 1.1 — 2026-08-10 New look! Cleaner sounds and a smoother experience! ### 1.0 — 2026-07-23 No release notes. ## More apps by Denis Zernov - [MOVE: One Tile at a Time](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/move-one-tile-at-a-time/id6794945071) All apps by Denis Zernov: https://appshunter.io/developer/6789258005 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
