Neurima is an experimental psychoacoustic audio player that applies sample-level timing desynchronization during playback. The app builds on research related to binaural beats, but uses a different method. Where Instead of adding audible frequency shifts, Neurima adjusts timing in a way intended to remain below conscious perception. Use Neurima with audio files (music, podcasts, audiobooks) already available on your device, or explore with included seed tracks and Sound Lab, a built-in tool for creating your own ambient source material. Features: • Play local audio files and eligible music available on device • Apply real-time psychoacoustic DSP during playback • Visualize music as it plays • Use included seed tracks if you do not have music on device • Create ambient source material with Sound Lab • Export Sound Lab creations as JSON or audio For best results, use stereo over-ear headphones or wired earbuds. Bluetooth headphones and earbuds can also work when both left and right channels are active. All processing happens on device and in memory during playback. Original files are never modified or written back to your library. Streaming-only and DRM-protected tracks are not supported. No account required. Research in this area is still early and exploratory. Neurima is intended for personal experimentation and general wellness exploration, not medical use.
OSCION

Oscion is an intuitive, interactive real-time generator for binaural beats and pure tones. Two ways to listen: Binaural beats (headphones recommended) Binaural beats are an auditory effect that can occur when each ear hears a steady tone that is slightly different in pitch. Your brain may perceive a subtle beat at the difference between those tones. Because each ear needs its own tone, headphones are recommended. Pure tones (headphones or speakers) Set the beat frequency to 0 Hz to produce a single steady tone. This does not rely on a left/right difference, so it works through speakers or headphones. Clean, precise control: Oscion is designed for direct experimentation. • Adjust beat frequency and base frequency in real time. • Set a session length with the built-in timer so you don’t need to watch the clock. • Use the Transition feature to glide smoothly from your current tone to a different tone over a chosen duration. • Listen to Oscion on its own or while other audio is playing. Presets: Oscion includes binaural beat and solfeggio frequency presets along with the ability to create and save your own custom presets. No internet connection required: Oscion does not require an account and does not stream audio from a server. Everything runs locally directly from your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Neurima at daily against OSCION's every 2 weeks. OSCION's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
