iPhone
New: eight full-length nature recordings, included and offline. Seven colours of noise, generative music, and a rebuilt sound engine that's quieter and warmer everywhere.
Every sound in Nocturne is generated live on your iPhone. It never loops, never
repeats, and never runs out — because there's no audio file to run out of.
Most binaural apps ship stereo files with the same tone in both ears. There's no
second frequency, so there's nothing for your brain to build a beat from. Pull
Nocturne apart and you'll find two real tones, every time.
73+ SOUNDS
- Binaural and isochronic beats — 0.5 Hz to 40 Hz, delta through gamma
- Seven colours of noise — white, pink, brown, grey, green, blue, violet
- Nature — rain, ocean, forest, thunderstorm, stream, fire, night, snowfall
- Generative music — slow chords and singing bowls, composed as you listen
- Full recorded tracks — deep ocean, rain on a roof, felt piano, forest at dawn
BUILD YOUR OWN
Pick any frequency. Layer any bed under it. Set the balance. Save it forever.
No other app in this category lets you own the sound this way.
GUIDED JOURNEYS
Frequencies that move instead of sitting still. Sleep Descent walks you from
10 Hz down to 2 Hz across 45 minutes. Deep Work Ignition ramps you into beta and
finishes on 40 Hz gamma. The 7-Day Neural Reset takes one night at a time.
FOR QUIET EARS
Notched noise centred near 6 kHz — a studied approach for tinnitus relief — plus
violet noise for high-pitched ringing and brown noise for sleeping through it.
BACKDROP MODE
Layer Nocturne under Spotify, podcasts and audiobooks, each at its own volume.
Most apps take the audio session and refuse to share it.
WORKS OFFLINE, FOREVER
No streaming, no buffering, no account. A nine-hour session takes the same space
as a nine-minute one, because both are calculated as they play.
HONEST ABOUT THE SCIENCE
Research on brainwave entrainment is good but not magic. A 2019 meta-analysis
across 22 studies found real effects on anxiety, memory and pain perception, and
the effect grew the longer people listened. We'll never claim DNA repair, IQ
gains or a cure for anything. Read our full evidence summary inside the app.

A much bigger, much quieter Nocturne.
AN EVEN BETTER LIBRARY
Seven colours of noise — white, pink, brown, grey, green, blue and violet.
Seventeen nature beds. Sixteen generative music pieces that compose
themselves while you listen. Browse by sound instead of by frequency.
EIGHT NEW NATURE RECORDINGS, INCLUDED
Thunderstorm, forest, stream, fireplace, summer night, cave, waterfall
and underwater. Full length, offline, no download. Lay a live binaural
beat under any of them.
REBUILT FROM THE WAVEFORM UP
Every tone is quieter and level-matched across the frequency range, so a
528 Hz tone no longer arrives louder than a 160 Hz one. Every bed has been
re-tuned to take the harshness out of the top end. Nothing clicks when you
switch between sounds.
IT GETS QUIETER AS YOU FALL ASLEEP
Sleep sessions now fade the individual events — raindrops, crackles,
bells — and let the steady bed carry the night. Music fades out entirely
after about half an hour, because it helps you fall asleep and then stops
helping.
BELLS HAVE THEIR OWN CONTROL
Turn them all the way off. Several pieces ship with no bells at all.
BUILD IT WHILE IT PLAYS
Change the frequency, the bed, the music and the balance without ever
restarting playback.
A NEW BEGINNING
Onboarding now shows you what a binaural beat actually is — two tones
drifting apart and the third one your brain builds between them — instead
of asking you to take our word for it.
