## What is ZenFocus?

Do you find it challenging to concentrate on work or studies? Are you looking for a way to boost your productivity and creativity? Look no further than ZenFocus - the ultimate sound app designed to help you achieve a state of focused relaxation.

ZenFocus combines the power of binaural beats with ambient sounds to create a unique and effective way to improve your cognitive function and achieve specific mental states. With a range of Focus Beat templates and ambient sounds to choose from, you can customize your listening experience to suit your needs and preferences.


Focus Beat:
The Focus Beat function in ZenFocus is a binaural beat based sound function that can help improve focus, productivity, and relaxation. Binaural beats are an auditory illusion created by playing two different tones in each ear. The difference in frequency between the two tones creates a rhythmic pattern that the brain perceives as a single tone with a specific frequency. This can lead to a phenomenon called brainwave entrainment, where the brain synchronizes its own brainwave patterns to match the frequency of the binaural beats.


Focus Beat templates, each designed to target specific mental states and functions.

- Concentration (Beat Frequency: 30Hz, Base Frequency: 268Hz)
- Creativity (Beat Frequency: 7Hz, Base Frequency: 417Hz)
- Problem Solving (Beat Frequency: 17Hz, Base Frequency: 167Hz)
- Academic Journey (Beat Frequency: 13Hz, Base Frequency: 120Hz)
- Reading Book (Beat Frequency: 20Hz, Base Frequency: 180Hz)
- Spiritual Awakening (Beat Frequency: 40Hz, Base Frequency: 371Hz)
- Deep Sleep (Beat Frequency: 4Hz, Base Frequency: 160Hz)
- Decrease Anxiety (Beat Frequency: 9Hz, Base Frequency: 174Hz)


In addition to Focus Beat, ZenFocus also provides a range of ambient sounds to create a calming and relaxing environment for users.
- Ambient Scene: Rain All Day, Walking Forest, Sound of City, Calm Office, The Sanctuary
- Ambient Event: Sining Bowl, Campfire, Insects, Waves

Customization:
ZenFocus offers a range of customization options, allowing users to create their own unique listening experience. You can adjust the volume and balance of focus beat and ambient sounds, and even mix and match different templates to create your own personalized sounds.

Enjoy your focus journey with ZenFocus!

### 5/5 — просто чудо!

### 5/5 — good sounds

*2024-10-12*

its awsome

### 5/5 — THIS IS the BEST ONE!!

*2024-10-05*

Fully adjustable, nature sounds, just great. Has a sound mixer to adjust rain, beat, white noise to get the balance you want. Tolerate one ad for 5 seconds at the start, and that’s it. SO much better than the 4 or 5 other ones I tried.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the adjustable sounds and the mixer feature. If you ever have any suggestions or areas where I could improve, please don’t hesitate to reach out at help@kosick.dev

### 4/5 — Almost 5 stars

*2023-07-23*

App is very well put together. It would be significantly better if the beat frequency could be set as a decimal value instead of an integer, which would allow the user to better fine tune the specific brainwave frequency being targeted.
