FocusBrain combines 8D spatial audio with brainwave frequencies - 40Hz Gamma, Alpha, and Theta Neural Soundscapes for ADHD, deep focus, calm, and restorative sleep. Some minds are wired differently. They think faster, feel deeper, and carry more - but finding stillness doesn't come naturally. FocusBrain is a thoughtfully designed neural sound system for anyone who needs more than silence and less than meditation. Every Neural Soundscape is built around specific brainwave frequencies - delivered in immersive 8D spatial audio you feel the moment you put your headphones on. DEEP FOCUS - LOCK IN ON DEMAND Whether it's a long work session, reading, or creative projects that deserve your full attention - Gamma (40Hz) and Beta-frequency Neural Soundscapes create a calm, consistent neural environment that supports sustained presence and productivity. No willpower required. Press play, and your mind knows it's time. NEURAL TUNING - FOR MINDS THAT RUN DIFFERENT If your thoughts naturally move in multiple directions at once, you don't need to fix it - you need the right support. Our Alpha and low-Gamma Neural Soundscapes help create a stable, clear cognitive baseline - supporting attention, memory, and mental clarity without medication, without routines, without someone telling you to just breathe. Pure sound. Specific frequencies. Built for how your mind actually works. ADHD SUPPORT - DESIGNED FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS Living with ADHD means your brain doesn't follow the usual rhythm. FocusBrain's Neural Soundscapes are specifically designed to support ADHD minds - helping reduce mental noise, sustain attention, and build a calmer, clearer cognitive baseline. No medication, no complicated routines. Just put on your headphones and let the frequencies do the work. ADHD IN DAILY LIFE - Morning focus sessions to start your day with clarity - Work and study support to sustain attention without burnout - Wind-down sessions to quiet a restless mind before sleep - Short 10-minute resets when everything feels too loud SLEEP ARCHITECTURE - FROM RESTLESS TO DEEP REST The hardest part of sleep isn't staying asleep - it's getting there. When your mind won't quiet down, Delta and Theta-frequency Neural Soundscapes guide a gentle neural downshift. Not a sleep story. Not a breathing exercise. Soothing acoustic patterns that support your brain's natural transition into deep, restorative sleep. WHY FOCUSBRAIN - Real frequency-engineered Neural Soundscapes - not generic ambient playlists - 8D spatial immersion designed for headphone use - 40Hz sessions for attention, cognition, clarity, and flow - Session-based, timer-ready - simple and easy to use - No guided voice, no accounts, no social features - Supports focus, productivity, memory, cognition, ADHD, stress relief, and sleep BUILT FOR Anyone who values mental clarity and restorative sleep. Whether you're managing ADHD, navigating a busy life, or simply looking for a reliable way to find calm - FocusBrain meets you where you are. If you've explored binaural beats, brainwave entrainment, or frequency-based audio and found most options too complicated or too vague - FocusBrain makes the science simple.

VESTAL

You're not disconnected. You just didn't follow up. VESTAL is the app that remembers who you meant to reach out to. You name the people who matter and how you want to stay in touch, and VESTAL tracks how long it has been, so nobody slips a year without you noticing. HOW IT WORKS Add the people who matter, and how you want to stay in touch. See one honest, private view of who you're drifting from and by how long. Read back the reason you gave when you added them, in your own words. Turn a quiet stretch into a real plan, with a day and time that fits your week. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT VESTAL helps hold you accountable to maintaining relationships the way you said you wanted. You write, in your own words, what you want a relationship to be. "The friend I never lose touch with." "Call him like I mean it." Months later, when the gap opens, those are the words you see again. Reminders get ignored. Plans happen. VESTAL integrates with your calendar and proposes a real day and time, so a nudge turns into dinner on Friday. VESTAL is honest without being harsh. Someone you add today starts fresh, never already behind. There is no streak to protect and no scoreboard to feed. Miss a week and nothing punishes you. VESTAL encourages you to show up. PRIVATE BY DESIGN You pick one person at a time from the standard iOS picker, and their number, email, and photo stay on your phone. Calendar access is only for plans, and only when you tap to make one. VESTAL checks the day you pick for free time and helps write the plan as you lock it in. VESTAL never sends anything on your behalf and never contacts anyone for you. Message text stays on your phone. What syncs is who you added and when you reached out, so your roster survives a new phone. FREE FOR 3 PEOPLE VESTAL is free for up to 3 people, with no time limit. Pick your three and run the whole loop: the honest view, your own words, and plans that happen. VESTAL PRO Pro removes the limit on people and unlocks the Met tab, where you keep the names and details of people you just met until they earn a spot. Pro is $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, and every new subscription starts with 1 month free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Service: https://getvestal.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getvestal.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: VESTAL at none against FocusBrain's shown. VESTAL also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). FocusBrain's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
