What it does
I kept trying focus music apps and they all had the same problem: either they're just playlists with a "focus" label, or they want $10/month for rain sounds. Braintunes uses amplitude modulation at target brainwave frequencies — the same technique a 2024 Nature study found boosted focus brainwaves by 119%. Four modes (Focus, Relax, Sleep, Meditate), three intensity levels, sleep timer. Free, no ads, no subscription. Web, iOS, Android.
Free AI-generated music for work and studying that actually helps you concentrate. Science-backed ambient soundscapes — no ads, no subscription. Also for sleep and meditation.
AI-generated ambient music scientifically designed to help you concentrate at work, study longer, sleep deeper, and meditate better. Free, no ads, backed by peer-reviewed neuroscience. Choose the mode that matches your goal. Each targets a different brainwave frequency to shift your mind into the right state. The best background music for deep work and studying. Beta-frequency modulation locks you into sustained concentration for hours, backed by peer-reviewed neuroscience. Gently brings your brain into a calm, wakeful state. Alpha-band modulation eases tension while keeping you present and aware. Deep, slow delta-frequency rhythms that feel like a gentle rocking motion. Warm, muffled tones…from braintunes.app

Focus MusicDec 2025 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲6I built this because I was tired of the focus music dance—opening YouTube, fighting autoplay recommendations, getting distracted by comments. As a developer, I spend hours in deep work mode. I wanted something that just works: one click, instant focus music with actual binaural beats (not just labeled that way). I'd love your feedback: Which genre do you reach for when you need to focus? Any features you'd want to see added?

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
