I’m 23 weeks in using this app and it is my most important tool. I came to brain.fm for the variety and I stayed because I found I can actually focus. I’ve tried several things to calm my monkey mind and give it something to occupy itself with while I work, read or plan. I’ve had a waterfall on my desk physically and monitor virtually , I’ve listened to classical music (thank you Mozart), I’ve listened to white noise, tried brown noise, and I even bought an album with nothing but the sounds of a coffee shop (a favorite by the way) I’ve listened to more audiobooks than I can count(for the more repetitive tasks). I’ve even tried working on my computer in VR to shut out distractions (how much battery do I have left?) I tried brain.fm because the coffee shop was getting old but I’ve found that (coupled with noise canceling headphones or even regular earbuds), I can sit at the kitchen table in the middle of life happening and still focus on what I’m doing. Where my wife walking by used to throw me off, now I barely notice. It’s almost like VR. I’ve also been attacking my distractibility from other angles but, I was using brain.fm before that. As I’ve used it I gradually added in or took away certain sounds. I’ve liked what I liked and thumb downed what I didn’t (the evil drone didn’t work for me) I’ve done the meditation, I tried sleep but it pulled a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon and scared me awake after lulling me off, easily fixable with a thumb down. Thank you guys for a great app and the work you’ve put into it. If the science is just a scam don’t tell me about it because it’s been working great for me. I suspect there has to be something to the science though because every now and then I stop and realize “I’ve been working on this for 2 hours?”

This app is totally essential for me! I have ADHD and it really helps me focus almost the second I turn it on. Its the perfect mix of music and nature sounds, better than anything else I’ve found. I also love that track is long, so it allows your brain to really dial in rather than noticing when a song ends every two minutes. It also calms me down in anxious moments and is great for meditation. I use it multiple times a day so the subscription is worth it to me. Highly recommend!

While the tunes do feel somewhat curated for focusing, thus is basically an infinite lofi playlist. There are plenty of hours long playlist on youtube for free that have been doing this for years. This app is just slapping some ‘science backed’ mumbo jumbo sticker and charging ten freaking dollars a month??!! Are you kidding me? I would have considered getting a subscription if this was maybe 2 or 3 dollars, but Id rather get Youtube premium that gives me music streaming and add free YouTube. Or pay for any other music streaming service.

I paid for the subscription of this app when it first came out and had to stop using it because it wouldn’t work. Now that it has come to my attention that it works again I downloaded it so fast. I’m addicted it makes me actually want to work and look forward to cleaning up and listening to my focus music. Deep work classical high neural effect “edict” is so amazing. I almost want to sit back and jam out to it but I have to resist. Best app ever . Thank you. It is expensive but it works wonders !!!

Learned about this from MindPump podcast. I was hooked by day three of using it consistently. These guys are doing it right. The music is top-quality, lots of variety and love the ability to create a playlist of all your favorites and filter it by what you’re trying to do. (focus, chill, meditate). The is app is super user-friendly. The customer service is great too. I’m telling all my family and friends about it. I do not fully understand exactly how but it’s creepy how well this works!

As a major procrastinator, I was never able to just sit down and do my work unless it was due tomorrow and I had that panic. I saw brain.fm from a YouTube add and was actually curious since it was something that looked liked I could actually use it. I’ve tried other apps or things like this by Spotify or Apple Music but nothing worked until I got this app. I swear that once you start using this app you will be ADDICTED. I started with just using the focus or doing schoolwork and let me tell you it has something for everything. I then found that there were other focus settings like ones for reading or creating or learning or working. I’ve used this app anytime I have something like that and it helps tremendously. Not only does it have different focus settings it also gives you music you like to here or for brains with adhd to help stay especially focused and that has definitely helped too. I’d say they’re music is like when you feed a dog pills. You put the peanut butter or treat around the pill so they taste good but they still eat the pill. It’s the same way we choose our peanut butter or treat so we can like the way the music sounds but it still has that pill that makes us focus or sleep. I’ve also been using this for sleep and it’s a lifesaver too. I’ve fallen asleep sooooo quick have gotten such good sleep and REM and haven’t woken app in the middle of the night at all and that’s just using the deep sleep setting. There’s sooo much customization and I’m BEGGING YOU to get this app if you’re reading this! It WILL change your life. Brain.FM I wanna thank you sooo much for this amazing work that you’ve done! Keep it up and keep making this app even better! If you’re still reading this WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! GO DOWNLOAD NOW!!!

I couldn’t even listen to any music because it just kept saying “PlAy BaCk ErRoR”

You still have to pay to get anything at all. There’s no free sounds or anything. The price is just too much for what it’s worth. It’s 80 dollars for a year, for just sounds, I’ve tried Moongate instead because even though there’s a subscription you can still use the free ones which are really all you need.

I listen to this app, literally every day. It helps me focus, sleep, and motivates me to get up when I want to be lazy. Get it!!

During work I toggle between this app and Spotify. This app is that good.
