Attunes synthesizes binaural tones on your iPhone and iPad. Choose a protocol, put on headphones, and settle into a listening session with ambient sound, visual breathing guidance, and optional haptics on supported devices. FIND YOUR STATE Explore Focus, Calm, Sleep, Clarity, Flow, Balance, Energy, and Center, plus the longer Descent, The Long Exhale, and All Night protocols. Frequency journeys move through authored stages, with duration choices shown before you begin. All Night continues until stopped and intentionally has no visualizer. A MORE IMMERSIVE SESSION โข Distinct, evolving tunnel patterns and color palettes for visual protocols. โข A blooming flower expands and settles with the breathing rhythm. โข Hide the player controls while keeping breathing guidance visible. โข Turn your device sideways for an immersive landscape view. โข Dedicated iPad layouts and independent tone and ambient volume controls. MAKE IT YOURS Choose your session duration, pause and resume, or set an optional Stop early cutoff. Keep a local listening history and opt into streaks and daily reminders when they suit you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account or login is required. Listening history stays on your device. Anonymous usage analytics help improve the app. Try three minutes of each protocol every day for free. Premium unlocks longer listening. Subscription options and any eligible trial are shown before purchase. AN HONEST NOTE ON THE SCIENCE Research on binaural beats is mixed. Attunes combines synthesized tones, ambient sound, and paced breathing so you can explore what suits you. It is a relaxation and wellness tool, not a medical treatment. Headphones are required for the binaural effect. Privacy: https://attunes.io/privacy Terms: https://attunes.io/terms

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aura Sync at none against Attunes's 3. Aura Sync also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Attunes's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
