Read full descriptionHide full description
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 β 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 β 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.

Slowfall

Your body gave up at eleven. Your brain didn't. Slowfall is the ADHD sleep app for racing thoughts, restless nights and brains that get loud the moment the house goes quiet. Fall asleep faster with cognitive shuffle wind-downs, brown noise, white noise and sleep sounds built around how ADHD actually works. WIND DOWN WITH COGNITIVE SHUFFLE A guided twenty-minute wind-down that breaks the thought loop and eases racing thoughts toward sleep. No meditation experience, no willpower, no lying there trying harder. NIGHT PAGES β SPEAK IT OR TYPE IT Your nightly brain dump and sleep journal. Say it out loud, or type it silently when someone is asleep beside you. Clearing your head before bed is the fastest way to stop overthinking at 2am. SLEEP SOUNDS AND FOCUS MUSIC FOR ADHD Seven sound moods drawn from real ADHD days: β’ Focus β sustained attention on demanding work β’ Deep Work β long, repetitive, near-hypnotic blocks β’ Study β structured sound for reading and memorising β’ Task Initiation β beat the wall between deciding and starting β’ Creative Flow β brainstorming, sketching, first drafts β’ Chores & Admin β dopamine for low-stimulation tasks β’ Sleep β slowest tempos, longest runtimes Brown noise, white noise, rain, nature and ambient tracks stream in the background and cache offline after the first play. A SLEEP TIMER THAT STOPS ITSELF Choose 15 minutes, an hour or all night. Audio fades out and stops on its own, even with the app closed and your phone locked. No waking at 4am to sound still playing. MISS A NIGHT β NOTHING RESETS There is never a streak to break. Momentum builds slowly and never punishes a night off, because broken streaks are the number one reason people quit sleep apps. MORNING CHECK-IN A ten-second check the next day shows what actually helped, so your wind-down gets better every week. BUILT FOR ADHD BRAINS Made for adults with ADHD and ADD, and anyone whose mind won't switch off at bedtime: students, shift workers, night owls, parents, and everyone tired of being told to just relax. Sleep better tonight. Start with one wind-down. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
