Align Your State. On Demand.
Sleep, focus, meditation, relaxation, expanded awareness—each is a brainstate you can access with the right frequency input. ThetaJourney is the control panel.
State Engineering
Select your target state. The frequency does the work. Your brain's natural entrainment response handles the rest.
Precision-Tuned
Each frequency is calculated for optimal neural entrainment. Trajectory mode evolves the frequency over time for deeper state access.
Zero Friction
Sophisticated science. Minimal interface. Choose a goal, press play, close your eyes.
Five Brainwave Targets
Each target locks onto a specific frequency range. Your brain entrains to the beat and shifts into the corresponding state.

Theta waves (6 Hz)
Drop into deep meditative states faster.Focus
Beta waves (20 Hz)
Lock in. Sustained, distraction-free concentration.Relax
Alpha waves (10 Hz)
Downregulate your nervous system. Active calm.Explore
Gamma waves (40+ Hz)
Access peak states. Heightened perception and insight.The Full Stack
Precision Frequencies
Scientifically-calibrated frequencies within proven brainwave ranges. Real-time waveform visualization so you can see the beat as it drives entrainment.
Layered Soundscapes
Mix up to four nature sounds—rain, ocean, forest, wind, fire, crickets—with individual volume control. Sleep sessions automatically slow sounds as you drift deeper.
Track Everything
Session history, streak tracking with milestone badges (7, 30, 100+ days), and Apple Health integration. Quantify your practice.
Built for All Devices
Works with headphones, AirPods, or any stereo audio. Lock screen controls. Background play. Session recovery if interrupted.
Session Insights
Curated insights from neuroscience and contemplative traditions surface during sessions—context that deepens your understanding without breaking flow.
Clean Architecture
Core brainwave sessions are free — forever. One-time unlock for trajectories, all nature sounds, unlimited duration, and advanced frequency controls. No subscriptions. No ads. No accounts. Your session data stays on your device. Optional Apple Health integration logs Mindful Minutes if you choose.
Advanced Controls
Beyond the five base frequencies. A complete neuroacoustic engine for those who want to go deeper.
Trajectory Mode
Dynamic frequency sessions that evolve over time. Nine pathways — Deep Sleep, Deep Meditation, Creative Theta, Focus Enhancement, Gentle Descent, Deep Immersion, Gamma Ascent, Theta Love, and Custom. Your brain tracks the changing frequency, accessing states that static tones can't reach.
Frequency Variation
Static tones fatigue the brain. Subtle, natural variation on both carrier and beat frequencies keeps the signal organic—your auditory system stays engaged rather than habituating. Better entrainment, longer sessions.
Breath Modulation
Volume pulses in sync with a configurable breath rate, creating a direct feedback loop with your autonomic nervous system. Your breathing rate drops, heart rate variability improves, and state shifts deepen—without conscious effort.
Pink Noise Layer
Broadband pink noise fills the spectral gaps between frequencies, reducing external distraction and improving signal-to-noise ratio for the binaural beat. Adjustable volume.
The Mechanism
Two slightly different frequencies, one per ear. Your brain detects the difference and generates a third frequency internally—the binaural beat. Your dominant brainwave activity shifts to match it. This is neural entrainment, and it's well-documented.
ThetaJourney layers additional systems on top: breath modulation for autonomic regulation, frequency variation to prevent habituation, and trajectory mode for progressive state deepening. The result is a compound effect that static binaural tones alone can't achieve.
Who Built This
Josh Wise—sound practitioner, meditation guide, and neuroscience enthusiast. 24,000+ YouTube subscribers exploring brainwave science, binaural beats, and conscious state optimization.
Every feature in ThetaJourney was tested in real sessions and refined through thousands of hours of personal practice. The trajectory presets, the breath modulation rates, the frequency variation parameters—all tuned by hand, not defaults.
No subscriptions. No ads. No data harvesting. Just a precision instrument built by someone who actually uses it.

Do I really need headphones?
Yes. Binaural beats require stereo playback—each ear hears a different frequency. Without headphones, you'll just hear a single tone. Wired or Bluetooth both work.
Is this meditation?
It's a tool for state change. Many use it for meditation, but it's equally effective for sleep optimization, focus sessions, or active relaxation. The frequency does the work—you choose the application.
How fast does it work?
Most people notice a shift within the first session. The entrainment effect strengthens with consistent use—3 to 7 sessions is typical for noticeable improvement in sleep quality or focus duration.
What's the research basis?
Binaural beats have been studied for decades with documented effects on brainwave activity, sleep architecture, and attentional states. Individual response varies. The science is real—results depend on consistent use.
Can I use this daily?
Yes. Daily use is optimal for building entrainment response. Start with 10–15 minutes if you're new. Most experienced users run 20–45 minute sessions. The app tracks your streak to help you stay consistent.
Do you collect my data?
Your session history, preferences, and streak data stay on your phone—we never see it. If you enable Apple Health integration, your mindful session minutes are shared with Apple Health per your device settings.
