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. START WITH ONE SESSION Open FocusBrain. Pick your state. Put on your headphones. --- Subscription automatically renews unless turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Recapp turns meetings into notes with Private Azure Cloud. Sign-in and internet are required for AI processing. FREE AND PRO Free includes 10 meetings per UTC month, 30 minutes per meeting, three questions per meeting and the Personal vault. Pro provides unlimited meetings with a two-hour limit per meeting, unlimited questions, additional vaults and Reports summaries. Pro can choose approved cloud models for transcription, summaries and chat; Free uses the standard models. Manage your Recapp account and existing Pro access from Library > Settings. On iPhone, available purchase and subscription-management actions use native App Store billing. Restore Purchases is available in Account; subscription options and prices depend on App Store availability. One active device per Recapp account; activating another device transfers access. CAPTURE AND REVISIT Record nearby speech using your iPhone microphone, or import audio. A recording deliberately started by you can continue when you go to the Home Screen or lock your iPhone. Recapp does not capture other apps’ internal audio or phone-call audio, and does not join calls automatically. Review transcripts, summaries and questions grounded in your notes. Write and edit Markdown, link related notes, explore Connections and export your work. Clear note actions make it easier to open a conversation, pin or export a note and redo its summary. Untitled recordings can receive a specific title when summarized; your own titles are preserved. Choose a default startup vault in My vaults, subject to your plan. Pro can connect Outlook calendars with separate read-only consent and combine multiple accounts in one calendar view. Google Calendar is currently restricted to listed testing accounts while broader OAuth verification is not complete. Other connectors remain previews. Calendar participant names can be included in Azure processing with your permission; recording-notice emails remain drafts you review and send yourself. YOUR FILES AND PRIVACY Your notes and recordings remain in your device vault. Recapp does not provide cloud vault synchronization or backup. With your consent, selected audio, transcript and question context are sent to Azure for processing. Only screenshots you explicitly include are sent as visual context; originals remain local. Transfers are encrypted in transit; Azure decrypts the content to process it. Microsoft may temporarily retain flagged content for abuse monitoring, and processing may occur outside Canada. English and Spanish interfaces, with light, dark and automatic appearance. AI output and speaker labels can contain mistakes; check important details against the recording and obtain participants’ permission before recording. Privacy: https://recapp.ca/en/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ PASTEL STUDIO Soft colors, a friendly paper companion and fluid motion make space for your notes. Notes, Record and Library keep mobile navigation simple. Filters and note actions open in sheets; an active recording can be minimized and reopened. Light, dark and reduced-motion preferences are supported.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Recapp at none against FocusBrain's 25. Recapp also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
