Hi everyone! Brain.fm is music for the brain.
We create music as brain stimulation (generated by an AI we’ve invented) to improve focus, meditation, relaxation, naps & sleep within 10 - 15 minutes of use.
Prior to Brain.fm, our team invented the gold standard for auditory brain stimulation software, used by neuroscientists and research labs around the world.
Our mission is to combine Music + Auditory Neuroscience to enable any mental state on-demand.
🚀 Get started listening to Brain.fm https://www.producthunt.com/r/89...
I'm Adam Hewett - co-founder and developer of the AI and auditory backbone of Brain.fm. Happy to answer any questions.
P.S. Special offer for the Product Hunt community! First 100 folks get 50% off the lifetime membership: brain.fm/ProductHunt

@brainfmadam Thanks for the work your team has been doing on Brain.fm --- I posted below about how I've been using it for a while now, would love to see an Android version but no complaints using the web version on mobile aside from the wishlist item of being able to use it offline. I tell people about brain.fm all the time :)

@brainfmadam For android users, just drop a shortcut on your homescreen and it launches well and works smoothly --- I did the same on my desktop, just created a Chrome app from it and launch it from my taskbar.

@brainfmadam Two questions:
1) Does this work offline?
2) What's the incentive to actually pay? I remember using the website but getting frustrated having to clear my cookies all the time to avoid being nagged to sign up, so I started using something else. If there was an upgrade path with a noticable benefit over the basic, I might be willing to pay, but the difference is hard to measure since so many factors play into productivity and attempting to measure it (including placebos)

@benguild It does work offline now!
The incentive to pay is that it will give you so many more sessions, and will start adapting to you. If you clear your cookies you'll just the same sessions over and over. They're GREAT sessions, so you'll be able to feel real benefit from it.
Ultimately, I think that's the incentive. If you actually *feel* something from this and get *real* benefits, it's well worth the subscription - and that's where we differ from others. We are pretty brazen in saying that the results you get will not be subtle. You'll feel it, and feel it quickly.
It's partly due to the strong subjective effects that we've been able to attract the brightest scientific minds to take a look at things *objectively*. Check out our science page: https://brain.fm/science . For example Dr. Morillon recently published in Nature on a similar topic.
Note that fMRI results are coming and they're extraordinary - and there's so much more research that has already been done, but that work is tied up currently pending-publication or in grant applications, so we can't post it yet). Trust me when I say, we're dedicated to science, and the papers we will be releasing... results beyond what any of us hoped for! We're really excited. Just wish it was up now haha. But.. science doesn't work on my schedule ;)

@nathansudds Thanks for doing that, and for telling people about the desktop-icon trick. I use it too and all my friends see that and exclaim "What?! There's an Android app you're keeping from us?!" It works really well.

@brainfmadam Hey, Adam! Maybe I missed the promo, but the bran.fm/ProductHunt link isn't giving me the opportunity to do the 50% off. 😿
Just making sure I'm late to the party and that it's not something else!
Edit: nevermind, nevermind. I had to login first – now it's showing the discount. Was expecting a prompt of some kind or something 😅

@brainfmadam I use this every day and love it. I'm psyched to be able to use this on airplanes.
Found a small bug: I entered an incorrect password and the app kept triggering a vibration despite eventually logging in. I had to kill the app and restart and everything worked fine. I'm on iOS 9 on an iPhone 5S.

@brainfmadam How do the sessions change or improve? It's as hard to measure productivity consistently as it is to maintain it consistently

@brainfmadam Huge fan of your product. When it comes to focusing I've messed around with a bunch of tools and hands down brain.fm is my favourite. I used the free trial and ended up loving it. The product actually allowed me to focus (and relax). I primarily use the desktop version which has worked pretty smoothly. I just recently bought a lifetime membership. Keep up the good work.
