Binaural Beats Generator by Meditation Treks lets you create your own binaural beats and isochronic tones for sleep, relaxation, creativity, and focus. Binaural beats use slightly different frequencies in each ear to encourage brainwave entrainment. Research suggests this may help shift your mental state toward calm, focus, or rest. Isochronic tones use a pulsing single tone and do not require headphones. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Generate binaural beats with adjustable carrier and beat frequencies • Switch to isochronic tone mode with a swipe • Choose brainwave presets: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma • Fine-tune frequencies with sliders or enter exact values • Set session timers: 5, 11, 20, or 30 minutes • Play audio in the background while using other apps WHO IT'S FOR Whether you want to wind down before sleep, support meditation, or experiment with focus and creativity, this free tool gives you direct control over the tones you hear. ABOUT GUIDED MEDITATION TREKS This app is part of the Guided Meditation Treks family. Use it on its own, or explore how binaural and isochronic tones can support your own guided meditation practice. Use headphones for binaural beats. Isochronic tones work with or without headphones.
