Brain.fm

I remembered that I have it and decided to turn it on and went to the settings and set the option that says I have ADHD struggles and the kind of music I like. It worked IMMEDIATELY FOR ME!!!!! 😍🥰 it may work differently for each person but for me this is amazing!

There's also a new adhd mode that I love for computer work

I love that the app asks if I have ADHD because that means the music should be different.

i've never seen any other music platform function just aswell as taking adderall

I've take adderrall for years now and felt that this app was more effective in getting me to complete tasks than the meds ever have.

Their sleep tracks knock me out fast even on night shifts, and the intense focus ones keep me locked in for hours without jitters.

The most significant improvement for me happens when my brain is hitting that boredom-burnout point on long assignments or study sessions.

The 'Low Neural Effect' style of deep focus songs also give me an incredibly calm, peaceful sense of deep focus

I have been using the app for over a year when I need to make the most out of time that I have available for a thinking task, and the improvement in focus and concentration is just amazing.

I suffer from insomnia and have problems falling asleep. I listened to their sleep music and it has made such a difference! I also used it for better focus at work and my productivity is a lot better. I'm loving the meditation music as well.

Focus is so much better When I sit down to read I set it on Focus-learning. I can almost immediately find myself immersed in my book rather than distracting things around me. For sleep, I use deep sleep-relax. My mind is absorbed by the

There are days I use this app all day, from morning motivation, instant stress/tension relief, reading focus, and sleep.

I didn't like the jittery sounds in all their music make it sound like the song is glitching

I thought I was being dramatic, but I tried several Focus beats & immediately felt dizzy & disoriented, leading to a frantic, panicked, and unfocused state.

Once the music comes on, I immediately switch into gear.

Sometimes I notice I procrastinate by not putting on my headphones to turn on some brain.fm cause I'm convinced I'll do work when I put it on

It’s free trial through the Farron Balanced deal giving me a month to try it for free, I actually managed to largely stay focused and complete and submit a concert review report just last night, and this was something that was supposed to be submitted two months ago.

Its also pulling me out of my freeze, where I just can't initiate the task

Today I successfully took a phone call, and came back to task right away. Same thing with reordering a supplement, I didn't start scrolling random things on my phone but returned to what I was doing. It's helping me switch tasks which I usually am incapable of doing without lost time

"Does it work?" Yes! I've had trouble focusing on my game development work recently due to some health issues. I found this app and was skeptical that there could be music that helps make focusing easier. I listened to the focus music

I can put on chill or destress to help calm after a panicky moment.

I also love the options for relaxing, which I use to reset when I'm feeling anxious

I was watching one of those Pomodoro study with me videos and the YouTuber shared that He uses brain FM and how it worked.

That’s when I downloaded and started using Brain.fm after hearing Phil DeFranco mention it on his show.

Honestly, I would absolutely love to see the hz for each of these modes, and have a discussion about how you found them.

I want to see what Hz the app is introducing to each ear and the output frequency - see Jody Hatton YT vids.

my entire body was vibrating to the rhythm of the frequency in my ears. Keep in mind, that's with headphones. Without, it's still peaceful, but not nearly as intense

One note, I think it works best on high quality headphones.

Been using it since, and it's harder to study with other music now

I would listen to music before but now I only use brain.fm and it is a game changer!

I’ve been struggling FOR DAYS LITERALLY to focus on my school work! My ADHD is so bad that my distractions are not external at all 98% are mental 🤦🏾‍♀️ I like the music in this app but I stopped using it for no reason.

It really works if you bounce your leg everywhere you sit

I'm not diagnosed with ADHD, but I've had my suspicions over the last year or so. Turning on ADHD mode in this app makes my mind feel like an engine and it's humming

Brain FM has changed the way I go about school as a student with ADHD and ASD. When I put on Brain FM, within 5 minutes my mind goes quiet and only focuses on work. Assignments take hours instead of days.

I've spent over a decade defaulting to rap, hip-hop, and EDM because they're what I liked, not what my brain needed. These genres keep my nervous system elevated. I thought I was focused (sorry, I meant to say I thought that was focus).

Getting locked in and cranking out code is genuinely fun with this app blessing my ears.

I've read 4 quite large books in 2 weeks using this. Last year, without it I managed to finish only 1

My EMDR therapist recognized that it is an effective tool to help me through transition times and difficult moods. I listen to Learning after an EMDR session and I feel that the bilateral music supports me in that nebulous transition from therapy to the present.

My therapist recommended this app for me for studying and sleeping and I have been using it almost daily for over 2 years.

I have gifted subscriptions to my entire staff a created "power hours" where we listen to Brain.FM and work intentionally

But those YouTube videos commercials often had commercials. This was cheaper than YouTube premium for the year.

Years of brutal shift work wrecked my sleep and focus—tried everything until Brain.fm. Their sleep tracks knock me out fast even on night shifts, and the intense focus ones keep me locked in for hours without jitters.

For a woman in her 40's that can't get to sleep

I'm a registered nurse and I used Brain.fm to study for a professional exam

I even use it in my work as a school psychologist when I'm writing reports

During my performance review, my manager commented how my productivity levels increased starting in November of last year. That's when I downloaded and started using Brain.fm

With Brain.fm Deep Sleep mode timed for 3 hrs, my body actually recovered overnight. HRV increased! Physiologically balanced on wake.

Brain FM works so great for helping my child who has ADHD focus sleep and relax.

I tried this out for the first time yesterday and I studied for 8 hours…and today…I studied for 5.

I'm currently learning Korean and having to study for my property and casualty license

I have to read every day and I always had trouble focusing reading. My mind would go places when I was reading and I would forget what I was even reading and zone out.

I do find it pretty helpful for getting in the zone when I'm doing video editing or going for a long drive

The music is awesome also for walking around and feels very natural and acts as a real life soundtrack.

I even use it when practicing Wim Hof hypoxia breathing.

I have decided to replace my normal exercise playlist with biannual beats (BB) in hopes of a more even endorphin cycle.

I've been using the wind down mode to get into a more sleepy state, then using the meditate state, to enter a really lucid dream type zone

With that said I have found Brain FM indispensable, I use it constantly, while studying, doing housework, to help me get back to sleep, to motivate me if experiencing low inertia.

I travel for business and don't sleep well away from home. Brain.FM helps put my mind the the proper gear

I'm a pre grad school student and live in a chaotic noisy home. Studying is difficult to do, there are frequent distractions

When it’s time to crank it out – deep focus work, creativity, motivation, or even a power nap – this is the app you need.

Brain.FM changed that two weeks in, and I'm using it to wind down before bed, calm down after the gym, and read effortlessly without distraction for the first time in my entire life.

I was very skeptical at first, but I have ADHD and the motivation playlist really gets me up and doing chores (and sometimes just dancing and grooving).

You can hit Flow State in just a few minutes if you meet the beats halfway.

I use it like a modified pomodoro session of 30-mins in whatever genre I'm in the mood for

Trying to use this app caused more of a distraction than any regular music could ever cause.

This is not the app for you! Worst part was after the music my alert senses were COMPLETELY GONE THE WHOLE DAY! This app does work but it’s not going to enhance your awareness it’s going to reduce it!!!! If you are prone to daydreaming or getting lost in thought DO NOT USE THIS APP IN A MOMENT YOU NEED TO BE ALERT I…

According to my Apple Watch I usually only get about 30 minutes of deep sleep on average. I was hoping this would help me get more deep sleep but I only get about 10-15 min of deep sleep when I use this app and I’ve tried all the different frequencies and song choices.

I zoned out faster then normal and stayed zoned out until a coworker called my name on the walkie. I came to with dogs playing crazily! This app dulls your senses it might be great for office work or a job that is rhythmic but if your job requires you to be alert and aware such as fast food, operating heavy machiner…

i need to be alert I'm on ADHD meds and I still zone out into another world

I had used YouTube for focus music, but it was inconsistent. This app has consistently helped me improve focus from the start.

Honestly, I also really like that Brain.fm eliminates choice paralysis. Before downloading the app, I would try to figure out what Spotify playlist would provide just the right amount of stimulation for my tasks.

Even when I'm done using it I feel like it clears my headspace

I can get the same effect using free Spotify via binaural beat tracks, so I'm not paying $100 a year

Never Rated an App Before So I’ve been really struggling with focus issues at work. It started about a year and half ago. I’ve tried brain supplements and drinks for focus. Nootropics and even something called Thesis. But for some reason

ADD Focus - 8 Week Streak Any audio with words just distracts me. My zone is Deep Work, Electronic with High Neural Effect. I’m on an 8 week streak. Over the ear headphones, time blocking and nootropics is the sweet spot. But I use

I can't tell if the science based reasons why it works are valid or overhyped, but I can speak for the results.

Paid for a lifetime subscription 10 years ago. The *only* app of this type I've kept and continued to use regularly this entire time

Only suggestion I would add to make this a 5 star would be to add some sort of community driven factor for neurodivergent fellows who want to collaborate together or to have some sort of other resources to help them with their struggles (ie, studying methods, at-home organization structuring, focus strategies)

I wish though they'd come up with an AI mode that would automatically harmonize isochrinic tones w my choice of music

Focus benefit: no noticeable difference at medium neural effect.

My favorite station is Chill.

I use it daily and it has truly worked for studying, chillin, meditation and I love the slight work mode.

I love this app! The uniqueness of the music, the capacity of having intervals and announce breaks is a gem for ADHD.

I appreciate that the first few mins of every listen is brain entraining to help get me into my groove.

16 week streak - and I'm not a streaker!

After years of using Brain FM for better focus, I started using the Deep Sleep part with results that increased several aspects of sleep along with completely sleeping through the night.

(&I'm not sure that these ideas would even be viable lol), but would there be a way for you to do the same kind of process to get a drug-free, painkiller type of effect or something along those lines? Or maybe even something to help lactating mothers? I know that these things would maybeee sort of delve into making…

Personally, I struggle to find the correct style of music that works for me.

But after a single use of the app suddenly I have to pay! This is really disappointing for someone who loved to app but doesn’t have to means for an outrageous amount of money per month.

I used to struggle to sit down and do homework for longer than an hour, and now I'll turn on the learning focus and by the time time done with my work the timer will range from 4-7 hours of focus

Falling asleep was never my problem; staying asleep was.

if you choose "sleep", all the music there is ambient, that's a con. As a result, I've been sleeping on "focus"

I pay a monthly subscription but anytime I want to use the app it tells me i need a subscription even though I already have one and signed in.

Despite being able to see my subscription in my iCloud, when I try to use this app it asks me to subscribe.

EVERY day when I open the app, it says my sub is "expired" and I need to pick a new, more expensive plan. I can "restore purchases" on my profile and it says "you have 214 days left"

Tried reinstalling and resubscribing with no luck.

no matter what they've had me try to repair it (unsubscribe the re subscribe, updates, etc), nothing works

I got on the use it today and i don't have access to any of the content without hitting their pay wall. My subscription is still active and up to date. If I try to click on the subscription I already have won't let me proceed and says I already have the subscription

They offered me a 14 day free trial but immediately charged me 69.99 for a full year! I have requested a refund so we will see if they do.

when you click the LITERAL BUTTON THAT SAYS "START FREE TRIAL" They will charge your card immediately

Signed up for 14 day trial, now it tell me that my trial ends in 3 days from the inital date of start.

it automatically put 3 days free. I was told by someone that works there in Brain FM that it's automatic and its only some thing for me to try and maybe try out the actual trial

Tried to cancel and did it on the web browser (as instructed by the app). The app still charged me today for a year long subscription.

The website says cancel by visiting my account overview page, clicking on "Membership" and then clicking "Cancel your membership. But that option/link does not appear

I do feel there should be greater awareness around how trial subscriptions can disproportionately affect neurodivergent users, particularly those with ADHD who may struggle with time management, reminders, and cancelling subscriptions within short trial windows.

You would think an app geared towards people with ADHD would remind you that your trial has ended.

Once they got enough people hooked on their product they doubled the price. It's the same programming, twice the price

I've paid the annual subscription ($50) for about 3 years now. A few days ago they doubled that price

I'd likely have paid one off for this if the price was reasonable (under £20), but not being an easily beguiled youngster I can see that paying a monthly subscription for something this basic is equal to robbery

I'd consider a once off payment, or a couple of bucks a month

I bought a month for a promotion for a dollar, they never told me my renewal was coming and I was charged for the yearly subscription.

I requested to cancel my subscription after the trail period. They dint send any follow up query or confirmation but they charged the 99.99 USD for one year without my consent

I was told I had been given a free trial and would be given the option to opt out or choose whether I wanted a monthly or yearly subscription once it ended. I was never given the options and they charged me the most expensive plan.

Consider creating a members incentive to give a flat discount after being a user for a year.

If there were ads as an option of not paying, I would still use this app.

I purchased a lifetime sub a few years ago. Decided to try again only to find my account no longer exists and emails to support are completely ignored.

I downloaded it again today, but it said my trial ended.

The app will charge your card but not give you access.

It's free trial through the Farron Balanced deal giving me a month to try it for free

Lastly, the music is very electronic beat or nature sounds, not much else. I am classical, jazz, and new age meditative in my music preference, and so the electronic, pulsy, wavy sounds were distracting because I felt forced to listen to something I really didn’t like to be able to use the app.

I'd love to see even more non-electronic tracks, esp. classical

Could you add more piano and jazz music.

This is not complicated - 5-10 songs per theme and the app just has to play them.

You'll start to notice how often the tracks repeat after a couple weeks of listening, which is a little distracting

The music I've heard so far doesn't feel any different than what I'm already listening to on YouTube or Spotify

I can get the same effect using free Spotify via binaural beat tracks, so I'm not paying $100 a year

I appreciate their commitment to human composers instead of AI slop.

Happy they don't use AI for the music creation too, if tht see this please never use any AI music on your platform

I'm a classical music buff, so they all sound cheap to me

Great Music for the type of moods Im in, but unfortunately the bit rate seems really low. I would consider paying if the tracks were higher quality, as I do notice a difference compared to the more mainstream music apps.

I was looking for more straight up white noisy binaural beat type soundscapes and not this animal crossing soundtrack type of music.

It sounds a lot like the minimal DJs I favor, but without any credit to any artist.

Worth it!! I will say the mediation is not typical but everything else is great!!

using BB for a faster endorphin response, and “more even flow” - all that just to say it would be great to have a category for exercise.

I haven’t been sleeping thru the night lately so I tried the sleep station, and like magic, I went a solid 5hrs without a wakeful cortisol spike! I have admittedly requested a sexytime mix, cuz, ya know… why not, when it accompanies me everywhere else in life! 😅 Thanks brain.fm team.

Any audio with words just distracts me.

Tapping away to select Apply, unnecessary downloading pop ups stops you moving on and Guided Sleep with no guidance if you skip the first track.

Features like "brightness," "complexity," and "neural effect" sound promising, yet the app offers little ability to search, organize, or meaningfully customize around them

I do wish there was a way to have playlists in addition to the favorites library though…

Only wish is that you could personally curate your own playlist.

The disadvantages: you cannot choose instruments you want to hear, or filter the music by instruments.

For me, I found sounds like static and crinkling to be anxiety triggering and wish I could have filtered out layers of such sound as I can with other sleep soundscape apps.

It works, music’s great. App: horrible I enjoy the sounds that really do help me. But the app is horrible. I cannot find anything and the filter function is not really existing. I don’t like the unplugged/classical music though. I’m a

Closing that menu triggers paywall again and again, no way to explore the app.

But after a single use of the app suddenly I have to pay! This is really disappointing for someone who loved to app but doesn’t have to means for an outrageous amount of money per month.

Can you listen to music on YouTube for free? Sure, if you want to be distracted by a hundred other videos pulling you attention away not to mention the ads.

A smooth very non intrusive app, among all the brain rot.

I'm really glad the app has the thumbs down button permanently skip songs. I have some misophonia and there have been several songs that had just the wrong combination of sounds in order to trigger it

for example if I save something under recharge but the sound is also categorized as a 'chill' sound, then when I go looking for it, it says 'Chill' which becomes a problem when I save multiple sounds

i clicked wrong option on 1st screen and couldn't change it anymore

While idea is nice, i deleted 1 minute later because i clicked wrong option on 1st screen and couldn’t change it anymore, then long wait time on screen that seemingly does something but it does absolutely nothing in real, only annoying wait time.

I can’t see a purpose of this app seriously it’s some random songs that are just weird, I just clicked relax and it instantly gave me some music without any context so no asking what I like just straight away assuming that relaxing must be this songs then.

Theres A Critical Flaw Personally, I find it remarkably short-sighted on the part of the marketing and development teams to take such a low-resolution risk. I always appreciate a preliminary trial period—it’s a necessary means of

Once I kept getting the 'subscribe' notification the app just closed down each time I tapped it.

Tapping away to select Apply, unnecessary downloading pop ups stops you moving on and Guided Sleep with no guidance if you skip the first track.

Unfortunately, the most recent redesign has been quite glitchy and non-responsive to selections and playing.

I love to look up while I'm working to see how long I've been at it and I don't have to click on my phone to have the chance to get distracted

The scheduled break times should automatically change the music to a lighter style to signal to my brain that it's time to rest. Currently, it's just a timer but the same focus song plays continuously

A suggestion for the interval setting - it would be valuable for the music to actually stop during the rest interval, rather than to just have a chime but the music do to he.

the app keeps stopping mid way and I'm constantly having to go back in and play which is interrupting my enjoyment

It plays all night without cutting out, unlike another app I tried.

And offline - I want to be in airplane mode and still be able to listen.

Please please fix the playback error problem when I have a song saved in offline and I try to access it from another device or after replacing my iPhone.

PLEASE add a randomizer. The same song sequence plays from the beginning every time I start using the app.

If they had something as easy as Amazon Music to navigate, where I can really explore, or reverse my trail back to someplace I had been before…but not easy to do.

This definitely comes out on top, but falls short in an important area for me: it does not allow for continued playback with other apps. I need to be able to listen to my adhd sounds and my ASMR on YouTube at the same time, the way I can with Endel.

I have to completely reboot my phone every time I want to change mental states

Sometimes, it will not play the song I picked or will not play anything at all, and that is when the app is open.

Good quality audio throughout, although sound levels are way too high with earphones in the sleep section.

My only criticism is that it doesn't have Bluetooth. So you can't play it louder on a better speaker.

you can't "control device" and play the audios directly from a homepod, you can only cast the audio from your phone… so if you're using this, you can't play any other media from your phone

they're calming but the variation makes me sleep longer without being woken up by random sounds throughout the night

Unable to login via the app. Web and desktop are working fine.

I have the app on my laptop and use the website all the time but when I try to log into this app on my phone it crashes

Email sign in crashes app iOS 26

Needs Work I tried signing up, but always gave me an error. After a while of having to reset reset my password I finally was able to get in. The concept is mediocre at best. The user experience is a little rough needs a lot of work. The

Every time I try to log in, the app crashes. Please fix this! I have no issues with it on a browser

Your sign in issue made me delete this app off my phone.

It would be great if Brain.fm had a watch app like Endel does 🙏

We need the Apple Watch app I have ADHD, so this app is a life saver. I really really like this app. Nevertheless, I’m trying to almost not use my phone during weekdays, and the only thing that I haven’t been able to effectively replace

Please make it available on the watch too! I like to leave my phone at home or hide it to stay productive it would be great to be able to play directly from the watch!

Often, I will click on it, and it will not fully open before it closes down.

The latest update borked the app. The UI becomes unresponsive as soon as you go into the sleep section.

Wanted to checkout the Meditation section, but tapping into that area freezes the entire app currently.

In the "Start" section of the app, when you tap one of the sections and then choose an "Activity", the whole app freezes and stops responding to taps. It continues to play a track if it was already playing, but the app doesn't respond to inputs, nor does the mini-player in iPhone's upper pull-down section Needs a fi…

I have been using brain.fm on high neural effect (ADHD mode) since around 2022 and I have used it religiously—however for the last couple of weeks every time I try to listen to anything, any kind of session or type of sound, whether ADHD mode is on or off, I always get an error message.

I consistently get offline messages flashing when starting a focus session. Usually tapping play again works. Sometimes I needed to force quit the app. Regardless of my network environment. This has been ongoing for years.

The app doesn't work well on a MacBook Pro — either freezes or won't start - frequently requiring a forced quit & restart

Super buggy iPhone 11 Pro Max not working well latest app and OS software upset about it..

I wonder if this can be linked with speakers such as Alexa or Google so that I can play the music out from the speaker?

it would be nice if dev would've added "driving" mode, because radio nowadays doesn't deliver

The only thing I’d add is some sort of phone focus control that would allow me to lock certain apps between certain hours, then this focus app would be incredible.

My only complaint is that web app isn't working behind my company VPN, so I have to use my phone

no matter what they've had me try to repair it (unsubscribe the re subscribe, updates, etc), nothing works
