What it is
Brain.fm makes music for focus, sleep, relaxation, and meditation. Its modes include Deep Work, Creativity, Learning, Light Work, and Motivation, along with sleep, relaxation, and meditation options. The maker says its patented neural entrainment technology is designed to steer listeners toward a desired mental state, while its music reduces attention-grabbing elements to sit in the background. Infinite, Timer, and Interval timers track work and breaks. Brain.fm describes its music as designed for ADHD and offers a High Neural Effect mode. The maker says it evaluates music with attention tasks and placebo controls and uses EEG and fMRI studies. The service is available on web, iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS; desktop downloads list macOS 12+ and Windows 10+. An internet connection is required. Monthly access costs $14.99 a month and yearly access costs $99.99 a year; both provide Focus, Sleep, Relaxation, and Meditation modes across web, mobile, and desktop. A 14-day trial and student plan are offered, but there is no free plan.
