Fall asleep faster. Focus deeper. Reduce anxiety naturally. Brainwave Generator uses real-time binaural beats to guide your brain into the exact state you need — deep sleep, laser focus, calm, or peak performance. No pre-recorded tracks. Full control. Backed by neuroscience. REAL-TIME BINAURAL BEAT ENGINE Generate binaural beats across the full brainwave spectrum in real time. Target specific mental states: Delta (0.5-4 Hz) for deep sleep and healing, Theta (4-8 Hz) for meditation and memory, Alpha (8-13 Hz) for relaxation and calm focus, Beta (13-30 Hz) for concentration, and Gamma (30-100 Hz) for peak cognitive performance. Every tone is synthesized live — giving you precise control. 44 SCIENCE-BACKED PRESETS Calibrated presets based on neuroscience research including MIT's 40Hz Gamma GENUS protocol for cognitive enhancement, Schumann Resonance at 7.83Hz, Theta-Gamma Cross-Frequency Coupling for memory encoding, EMDR-inspired bilateral stimulation, SMR-based ADHD focus protocols, HRV Coherence training, and more. Each preset uses research-optimized carrier frequencies. 34 AMBIENT SOUNDS Layer your sessions with ambient soundscapes across 7 categories: nature sounds (rain, ocean, forest, birds), noise generators (white, pink, brown, violet), meditation aids (singing bowl, crystal bowl, Om, solfeggio 528Hz), and environments (cafe, campfire, underwater). Seamless crossfade looping for uninterrupted sessions. ADVANCED FREQUENCY LAB Eight powerful tools: Custom frequency generator, waveform selector (sine/square/triangle/sawtooth), multi-stage frequency sweep designer with visual timeline editor, multi-layer mixer, real-time oscilloscope visualization, frequency calculator, isochronic pulse tone generator, and a preset library for saving your creations. MULTI-SENSORY ENTRAINMENT Go beyond audio. Haptic entrainment syncs your phone's vibration to the target frequency. Visual entrainment adds gentle screen pulses. Combined sessions unify audio, haptic, visual, and breathwork into powerful multi-sensory protocols for sleep induction, cognitive enhancement, and recovery. POMODORO FOCUS TIMER Combine the Pomodoro technique with automatic binaural beat switching. Beta waves during focus blocks, Alpha waves during breaks. Track completed sessions and total focus time. BREATHWORK LAB Guided breathing exercises including 4-7-8, box breathing, and coherent breathing. Haptic feedback guides each phase. Synchronized with binaural beats for deeper relaxation and improved heart rate variability. SMART RECOMMENDATIONS AI-powered session suggestions based on time of day, your listening history, and session effectiveness tracking. The app learns which presets work best for you and adapts its recommendations. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN Your sessions, presets and history stay on your device, and there are no accounts. Analytics, crash reporting and ads are optional and run only with your consent. SUBSCRIPTION Brainwave Premium is an auto-renewing subscription with monthly and yearly plans. The price for your region is shown in the app before purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings.

Two ways to train your brain, in one app. WaveMind pairs real-time EEG neurofeedback with a full toolkit of daily nervous system support: binaural beats, bilateral tones, HRV breathing, focus music and brain games. Use it with a BrainBit headband to train your brainwaves, or with just headphones to calm down, focus and reset anytime. NEUROFEEDBACK (BRAINBIT HEADBAND) • Real-time feedback from four EEG sites at the temples and the back of the head • Train while you watch videos, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, read, or play music. Hold your target state and the picture brightens and the sound swells. Drift, and it fades. • Neurofeedback games: Mind Tree, Starry Night, Knight Quest, Tightrope and Vinland • Every session starts with a short measurement of your own resting state, so you train against yourself, not an average • Blinks, movement and jaw tension are filtered out, so noise never counts as progress • A training plan suggested from your intake questions and, if you have one, your brain map • Brain-map reports with a Simple summary and a Detailed view (BrainBit Flex 8) • Session history and progress charts DAILY NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT (NO HEADBAND NEEDED) • Binaural beats across delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma • Bilateral tones and music that move from ear to ear • Guided stress relief with breathing and grounding • HRV and Heart Rate Sync with Apple Watch • Focus music for work and study • Brain training games for memory and attention • Brain Coach: a personalized path through the app APPLE WATCH See your live heart rate during sessions, get a gentle breathing prompt when it runs high, and collect HRV with a one-minute Breathe session. WORK WITH A COACH Have a code from a coach? Enter it when you sign up. Your coach can follow your sessions, adjust your training plan, send you messages, and see your monthly check-ins. DESIGNED BY A LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST WaveMind is made by BrainFit Studio in South Carolina, founded by a licensed clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience working with stress and trauma. It uses the same session structure he uses in person: personal baselines, honest signal quality, and feedback that pauses rather than pretends when the signal is not clean. WHAT YOU NEED Headphones are recommended. Neurofeedback requires a compatible BrainBit, BrainBit 2 or BrainBit Flex headband (Bluetooth LE), sold separately. Everything else works without a headband. SUBSCRIPTIONS WaveMind Premium and WaveMind Neurofeedback+ are offered as auto-renewing subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.
