Step inside your mind. Foggy mornings, wired midnights, the 3 PM crash in between, your brainwaves are stuck out of sync, and sound can shift them back. Science-backed binaural beats guide your brain into deep sleep, sharp focus, calm, recovery, or states beyond ordinary awareness. No meditation. No pills. Just headphones and 15 to 60 minutes. Stanford neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Huberman has publicly discussed 40 Hz gamma binaural beats as a tool for focus and concentration. That is the science Brainwaves is built on. 7 BRAINWAVE BANDS, DELTA TO EPSILON Delta for deep sleep. Theta for dreaming. Alpha for calm. Beta for focus. Gamma for peak cognition. Epsilon for deep transcendence. SIGNATURE SESSIONS Deep Gamma Focus (40 Hz Gamma): sharp attention and working memory. Deep Sleep Night (Theta): drift into deep sleep faster. Ultra Sleep System (Delta 2 Hz): slow-wave sleep for physical restoration. Nervous System Reset (Alpha 10 Hz): calm stress, restore balance. Flow State Engine (Alpha 11 Hz): peak flow for deep work. Serotonin Release (Alpha 10 Hz): lift mood, ease tension. SLEEP AID AND INSOMNIA RELIEF Fall asleep faster and stay asleep. Delta journeys (0.5 to 4 Hz) for racing thoughts, 3am wake-ups, stress, late-night screens, and jet lag. A drug-free sleep aid for people who have tried everything. FOCUS AID AND BRAIN FOG Cut through fog with beta and gamma sessions (13 to 40 Hz). Sharpen clarity for deep work, study, and mental fitness. ANXIETY CALM AND STRESS RELIEF Alpha and theta soundscapes (4 to 12 Hz) ease tension and rebalance your nervous system. No meditation experience needed. HEALTH AND RECOVERY Solfeggio frequencies layered with brainwave audio for whole-body reset and recovery from burnout. CONSCIOUSNESS EXPERIENCE, EXCLUSIVE TO BRAINWAVES Beyond sleep and focus, Brainwaves is built for altered states of consciousness you will not find in other brainwave apps. Astral Projection: guided exploration beyond the limits of the physical. Remote Viewing: expand perception beyond ordinary sight and strengthen intuition. Lucid Dreaming: become aware inside your dreams and learn to steer them. Fifth Dimension: transcend ordinary perception. Gamma and Epsilon Journeys: expanded awareness and deep transcendence. 963 Hz Pineal Gland Activation: the God Frequency, for deep meditation, whole-brain coherence, and higher states of awareness. WHY BRAINWAVES 500+ precision sessions across sleep, focus, relaxation, spiritual exploration, and health. EEG-mapped frequencies: science-informed design, not random tones. Personalized journeys: tell us your goals, we guide your first session. Offline listening and Family Sharing: download favorites and share with your family. Free trial: try it before you commit, cancel anytime. WHAT TO EXPECT Night 1 to 3: the beat gives your attention somewhere to go, so it is easier to switch off. By day 4 to 7 you reach sleep, focus, or calm faster, and from week 2 the state holds longer. Individual results vary. WHO IT IS FOR You have tried meditation apps and they did not stick. You want a drug-free sleep, focus, or recovery aid. Brainwaves was made for you. SAFETY Headphones or earbuds are required. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery.

Neuroscience is the key to your productivity and now there’s an app for that. No, it’s not a To-Do List, a supportive affirmation or an alarm that reminds you to get back to work. It’s a tool that allows you to uncover when you are most likely to get things done. Peak Time is the long-kept secret of successful entrepreneurs and dynamic over-achievers. It’s your body’s “magic hour”—the time of day when you’re 2-100x times more productive than any other time of day. • Some people call it a “flow state”. I call it awesome. It’s when you can plow through 50 emails in 30 minutes… • Write 2,000 words without batting an eye… • Handle an important sales call while driving through rush-hour traffic with a crying toddler in the back seat… You get the point. And all it takes to reach insane levels of productivity is a few taps of your finger. Yup, you read that right. How it works • Download and open the Peak Time App • Select either right or left hand • When prompted, start tapping the “Start Session” button as quickly as you can • Stop when indicated • Allow the screen to reload to “Start Session” and then start tapping again as quickly as possible, taking care to use the same hand • Stop when indicated • Select the opposite hand—if you chose “Left” first, now choose “Right”, if you chose “Right” first, now chose “Left” • Repeat steps 3 through 6 again. Repeat this process several times throughout the day, for no less than a full week. At the conclusion of the week, look at the statistical map of your results and discover your Peak Time!
