Focus easily for work or study

This amazing and *FREE* app provides a great way to focus when the outside world is determined not to let you.

Had this for a couple of years after a recommendation in an audiobook - thought it time I left a review

As an auti I can’t work either in silence or with unpredictable sounds (like open office chatter, doors banging and a hundred phone chimes an hour) this is one of the tools which allow me to get in to flow.

Calming and neutral - yet positive at the same time

If you just want a calm space on the train, bus, dorm, bathroom or wherever this is great - you can listen on and off its kind of seamless

No monthly or annual payments and designed by people who really know what they are doing rather than by those out to make a quick buck.

Artistic, autistic, coder, card reader, author, philosopher, commuter or cater - I really recommend you make a little time for this calm any time - even a minute or two get my heart rate and anxiety levels down

Many thanks

4 Years of Helping me Study and now work

I downloaded this app on a whim during my Freshman year of college. I used it every time I studied until my graduation. Using it consistently, I noticed it puts me into a "concentration" zone, like when I hear it I know it's study time and I can block everything else out. Thank you for making this. It has significantly improved my concentration while studying. Now years later I redownloaded the app and have found it useful for using during work.

Please create more soundscape

Used this several years ago for med school exams and now using it to revise for professional exams. It really works and I am still hoping the developer will come up with more pieces of soundscape.

I wish I knew about this app...

This is my first ever review on any platform, but this time I felt obligated to write this review. If you suffer from Adhd, have difficulty concentrating because of external noises, and your medication doesn’t do enough to help you focus then this app might be the right answer to your problem.

Amazing App

I have been using this app for many years, thanks lot for updating to support latest version of iOS. This app has helped me to increase focus and productivity... highkt recommanded.

FAQ

What does this study app do?

This app provides 45 minutes of scientifically designed soundscapes intended to boost productivity, help you concentrate, and mask ambient noise. It's particularly useful for students who don't have quiet places to study at home or school.

How does the soundscape help with studying?

The soundscapes are designed to mask distracting background sounds, especially conversations, helping to improve focus, cognition, and reduce fatigue. Playing the sound through headphones at a modest volume is recommended for optimal effect.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, the app is completely free to use. It is made possible through sponsorship from Ecophon, a leading acoustics specialist.

What is the recommended way to use the soundscapes?

It is recommended to play the soundscapes through headphones at a modest volume, just loud enough to mask the background sound. The 45-minute duration is also designed to encourage a short break after working.

Can the soundscape play for longer than 45 minutes?

The core soundscape is 45 minutes long, which is intended to encourage a break. However, the app can be set to repeat the soundscape if you prefer to continue listening without interruption.
