Common Questions

How long does it take to craft a track?

Short tracks (1-30 min) typically take 30-60 seconds. Longer tracks (1-12 hours) may take 2-5 minutes. You can navigate away — your track will continue processing in the background.

What are the subscription plans?

Free: 6 generation credits per 30-day cycle, up to 1 minute each (1 credit per track), all sound categories (Nature, Static Noises, Frequencies, Ambient), and 1-minute Binaural Journey demos. Essentials ($1.99/month): 20 credits per cycle, up to 12 hours, all styles and brainwaves. Premium ($4.99/month): 50 credits per cycle plus all Binaural Journey durations and the Advanced Builder. Longer tracks cost more credits: up to 1hr = 1 credit, 1-4hr = 2, 4-8hr = 3, 8-12hr = 4.

What are Binaural Journeys?

Dynamic frequency ramping that guides your brainwaves through different states during a single session. Six pre-built journeys are available (e.g. Sleep Induction, Focus Ramp, Meditation) using the same credit tiers as music tracks. Free users can access the 1-minute demo. Premium unlocks all durations and the Advanced Builder for custom journeys.

Can I cancel my Premium subscription?

Yes! Go to Account → Manage Billing to cancel anytime. You'll keep Premium access until your billing period ends.

What if I need more tracks this month?

Free users can upgrade to Essentials ($1.99/month, 20 credits/cycle) or Premium ($4.99/month, 50 credits/cycle). Paid subscribers who need even more can purchase a Credit Pack ($4.99 for 50 additional credits) from their Account page. Purchased credits are additive to your balance.

Why is my track using a fallback sound?

Occasionally the process may timeout. We provide a fallback ambient track so you can still meditate. Try creating a new track for a custom experience.

When does my track count reset?

Credits reset automatically every 30 days from when you created your account (anniversary-based). If your balance is already above your base limit (e.g. from purchased credit packs), it stays as-is.

What is the Binaural Beat Builder?

Premium feature that lets you create custom binaural beats with precise control over carrier frequency (60-500 Hz), beat frequency (0.5-40 Hz), intensity, and background noise. You can also create multi-segment "scheduled journeys" that transition between different brainwave states. Access it from the Binaural tab in the Background Noises app. Tap "Advanced Builder" to expand the custom editor.

Are binaural beats safe?

Binaural beats are generally safe for most people. However, they require headphones to work and should not be used while driving or operating machinery. If you have epilepsy, seizure disorders, a pacemaker or heart condition, are pregnant, or have neurological conditions, consult a doctor before use. Discontinue use if you experience discomfort. Start with low intensity and take breaks during extended sessions. See our full health disclaimer in the Terms & Conditions.
