Description
Unlock deeper states with enhanced binaural beats, precise frequency control, and our upgraded mixer — for better sleep, focus, and mental clarity.
Calm your mind. Sleep deeper. Focus longer.
Shimmr is your all-in-one binaural beats app, sound therapy tool, and meditation and sleep companion. Use it to relax, focus, sleep better, and explore deep states with powerful audio - no streaming, no ads, and no data required. All sounds are built into the app for instant offline access.
Built by a passionate meditator and audio engineer with over 18 years of experience, Shimmr was created to explore how sound can unlock deeper states of calm, focus, and consciousness. Every sound is carefully designed, tested, and refined through research, feedback, and real-world use.
Unlike other apps, Shimmr lets you fine-tune every layer of sound using a powerful custom mixer — giving you full control to shape your experience.
You can also play Shimmr alongside other apps like podcasts, audiobooks, or guided meditations by enabling parallel audio playback in the settings.
Shimmr delivers science-backed soundscapes designed to guide your brain into relaxed, focused, or meditative states. Whether you’re exploring Hemi-Sync-style binaural beats, ambient noise, or tonal therapy, Shimmr offers pure, private, and effective audio.

Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic App
I highly recommend this app for anyone interested in using sound therapy to help you relax, focus, meditate, and even energize. It’s also a great tool for people who are into astral projection or gateway meditation.
Each sound is researched and customized for different effects. The app is easy to use and offers lots of options to customize your own sounds if wanted.
Some of the things I love about the app are the explanations for each sound, the ability to adjust the timer, the ability to turn off the screen and continue playing the sound, and the option to favorite different sounds. I also really like and the visual presentation and layout.
Lastly, the creator is very responsive and helpful.

😍 Thank you for writing such a great review. Happy to know you find value in Shimmr!
Excellent app! Just a few wishes
I love this app a lot! I got a free Premium subscription for 6 months from the developer, and I will absolutely be paying to keep it after the fact.
It’s intuitive and easy to use, and it looks very clean too. I like the array of sounds and the fact that I can set a sound to go for as long as I need to. It’s very easy on my battery too so I can leave this on all night if I want.
A couple things I wish this app would have (not necessary and not a detractor, just a personal wishlist hehe) is 1.) the ability to add sounds to a mix (maybe this is already present but I didn’t see a way to do so), for instance if I wanted to listen to binaural beats but add in rain or a thunderstorm over it. 2.) I mostly use this on my iPad and it’s not built for said device; the bottom of the screen is cut off. Not a dealbreaker, just kind of a “huh” thing.
Again though it’s a brilliant app that doesn’t NEED these things, they would just be the cherry atop an already delightful cake :)

Thank you for you very informative review. The intention is to make it work for ipad and also add custom some creation at some point! Really happy you enjoy the app 🙏
Really disappointed.
I loved this app and have recommended it to so many people because of its simplicity and straight forward offerings. Now it’s unrecognizable from its origin and also from all the other gimmicky meditation apps. I would have happily paid a reasonable price for what it used to be, but this new version doesn’t even seem to have the features that brought me here any longer. And if they are there, they are annoyingly difficult to find. Every time I try to use this, I can’t find what I am looking for and just give up. I hope you make a lot of money.
