Ommlo is a collection of quiet tones and noise textures for the moments when you want to feel calmer, steadier, or more focused. WHAT'S INSIDE 24 sound presets across eight categories: - Calm Hands — alpha tones and steady drones for when your hands need quiet - Comfort — brown noise, pink noise, and soft textures for overwhelming moments - Anxiety & Calm — gentle tones and ocean-like drifts for settling down - Sleep — slow, quiet drones and noise blankets for bedtime - Focus — steady tones for working sessions - Meditation — slow tones for sitting practice - Pain — masking sounds for uncomfortable moments - Tinnitus — white and pink noise generators for tinnitus masking 7 pre-composed programs with timed sessions (5–30 minutes) that fade in, sustain, and fade out on their own. Just press Start and close your eyes. JOURNAL Sessions of two minutes or more are logged automatically. A simple three-state check-in (didn't help / neutral / helped) lets you track what works for you over time. A 30-day rhythm chart shows your practice at a glance. No typing required — one tap to rate, swipe to browse. LAB MODE For the curious: a full sound design toolkit. Waveform, frequency, phase, binaural offset, noise mix, envelope, drift, randomness — every parameter exposed. Design your own patterns and save them. Most people don't need this; some people will love it. HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED Binaural beats require headphones — the left and right ears receive slightly different frequencies, and your brain perceives the difference as a gentle beat. All other presets work with speakers too, but headphones make everything better. WHAT OMMLO IS NOT Ommlo is not a medical device. It is not FDA-approved. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. The sounds in this app are for personal exploration and general wellness. If you have a medical condition — including tremor, chronic pain, tinnitus, anxiety, or a sleep disorder — please talk to a healthcare provider. No ads. No tracking. No accounts. No subscriptions. No data leaves your device. Ever.

Train your attention using your own brainwaves. Connect a compatible BrainBit EEG headband and WaveMind turns your live brain activity into feedback you can see and hear. The music swells as you settle into a calm, alert state. The video brightens when you hold it. Drift, and it fades. Nothing to interpret and nothing to score — you just notice, and your attention learns the rest. No headband yet? Start free with the binaural-beat library and guided sessions. LIVE NEUROFEEDBACK • Four-channel EEG from the temples and the back of the head • Sessions for calm-alert focus, easing a mind that is running too hot, and eyes-closed relaxation • Every session opens with a 45-second measurement of your own resting state, so you train against yourself rather than someone else's average • Blinks, movement and jaw tension are filtered out, so noise never counts as progress • Live EEG trace, frequency readout, time-in-target and session history FEEDBACK YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO SIT THROUGH • Video, podcasts organized by show, classic audiobooks, generative fractals and music — the reward is the thing you already wanted to watch or listen to • Brain-training games, including Mind Tree, that grow while you hold your state • Background Mode for eyes-closed practice with the screen off NO HEADBAND REQUIRED • Binaural-beat frequency library • Guided focus and relaxation sessions • Progress tracking and a personal preset library BUILT BY A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST WaveMind is made by BrainFit Studio, a South Carolina wellness practice, and is built on the same session structure its founder uses in his own work — personal baselines, honest signal quality, and feedback that pauses rather than pretends when the signal is not clean. WHAT YOU NEED WaveMind works on its own for binaural beats, guided sessions and games. Live neurofeedback requires a compatible BrainBit or BrainBit 2 EEG headband (Bluetooth LE), sold separately. SUBSCRIPTIONS WaveMind Premium and WaveMind Neurofeedback+ are offered as auto-renewing subscriptions.
