1.7
September 17, 2026
VERSION 1.7 Two changes. Every Focus Level session now carries its complete Monroe layer stack, and a new Audible beat mode turns the differential into a pulse you can hear. THE FULL LAYER STACKS Version 1.6 rebuilt the engine and verified that the shipped tones match their specification to within a ten millionth of a hertz. Checking the presets against that specification turned up a different problem. Several sessions had been shipping fewer layers than the Monroe tables document. Focus 12 ran five of its eight layers. Focus 15 ran five of seven. Focus 21 ran four of six. All of them now run the full set. Focus 10 keeps its four. The 1.5 Hz delta pair now sits on a 100 Hz carrier in Focus 10, Focus 12 and Focus 15. Focus 10 had been carrying that pair at 500 Hz, taken from a secondary table. The Focus Level tables are the canonical list, so 100 Hz wins. On small earbuds a 100 Hz tone carries less weight, so the layer runs at a higher amplitude to compensate. Focused Attention drops from 34 Hz beats to 30 Hz. Above roughly 30 Hz the two tones start to fuse rather than beat, which is the limit the app documents everywhere else. Layer amplitudes in every stage sum to exactly 1.00, leaving the same headroom before master gain and the ambient bed no matter how dense the mix gets. Denser sessions put each individual layer lower in the mix. Total level is unchanged. Inside a stage, layers are ordered so each engine voice glides the shortest distance from where it was in the previous stage. The session display still shows the canonical Monroe order. AUDIBLE BEAT A true binaural beat has no acoustic signature in either ear. Measure the left channel alone and it is a steady tone. Measure the right alone and it is a steady tone. The beat is what your auditory system produces from the difference, which is why headphones matter and why the effect is subtle by design. Version 1.6 removed a once per second click that some sessions had carried since launch. That click was an artifact, not a beat, but it was loud and regular and it was easy to hear. Audible beat mode is the deliberate version. It mixes 30 percent of each ear's signal into the other, after the layers are summed and before master gain, so every layer's differential becomes a physical amplitude pulse. At a 4 Hz differential the per ear modulation goes from under 2 percent to about 46 percent. Peak level does not change. Toggling ramps over half a second, sample accurate, so it is safe to turn on and off mid session. The trade is real. Mixing the ears together reduces the separation the Monroe method depends on. The opposite tone sits about 10.5 dB down in each ear. This is not the Monroe method and the app says so at the toggle. Off by default. Turn it on in Settings under Audio, or from the controls during an active session. WHAT DID NOT CHANGE No new permissions. No new data collection. Still no ads, no third party trackers, no social features. Pricing and the free tier are unchanged. Your session history, custom sessions, and saved templates carry over untouched.
