**BusJam** is a short-rest companion for the bus or subway ride to and from work — for the minutes you want to truly switch off, not just zone out.
The commute window is awkward: too short to really sleep, too tired to stay alert. BusJam shapes the listening into an **Alpha → Theta → Alpha** binaural-beat arc that helps you drop into a rest state quickly, hold a deeper trough in the middle, and surface gently before your stop.
### Why Alpha → Theta → Alpha
- **Alpha (around 10 Hz, opening segment)** — release tension and settle into a meditative calm.
- **Theta (around 6 Hz, middle segment)** — slip into a deeper rest-and-recovery window within a few minutes.
- **Alpha (around 10 Hz, closing segment)** — wake up gently with a softer return to alertness.
The default 20-minute session is 5 min alpha / 10 min theta / 5 min alpha. Adjust the total length minute-by-minute and the same 1 : 2 : 1 ratio rescales automatically.
### Key features
■ Real-time binaural synthesis
• Alpha and theta tones generated live with AVAudioEngine + custom oscillators — no pre-rendered audio
• Headphones or earbuds recommended
■ Minute-by-minute timer
• 1 to 60 minutes, your choice
• Alpha–Theta–Alpha ratio (1 : 2 : 1) holds at any duration
■ Calm, direct controls
• "Sleep well" to start
• "Hold on" to pause, "Wake me up" to end
■ Mix-your-own nature soundscape
• Categories: waves, wind, rain, birds, stream, subway, pink noise, campfire, waterfall
• Layer multiple categories simultaneously to find the mix that suits *you*
• Pick a variant within each category to fine-tune the mood
• All audio is sourced under commercial-use-allowed, no-attribution-required licenses (Mixkit, Freesound CC0, locally generated)
■ Background playback
• Lock the screen or switch apps — the session keeps running
• Standard iOS background audio mode
■ Gentle session-end chime
• A short, soft bell rings as the closing alpha segment ends, so you don't sleep past your stop
### Who BusJam is for
- Commuters who want a true short rest on the bus or subway
- Knowledge workers taking 15–20 minute power naps before re-focusing
- Anyone who wants to put on their preferred background sound on the commute and carve out a moment that's just theirs
- People who want to roll their own ambient mix from binaural + nature layers
### Ads and Remove Ads
- The free tier shows one AdMob banner at the bottom plus a short app-open ad on launch
- If the ads disrupt your rest, tap Settings → Premium → **Remove Ads `$2.99`** for a one-time purchase that removes both forever (restored across devices on the same Apple ID)
### Your data stays on your device
- Almost no personal data is collected. App preferences live in UserDefaults on-device.
- Audio synthesis and mixing happens entirely on-device — nothing is uploaded.
- AdMob may use the advertising identifier (IDFA) when you opt in; you can decline without losing any feature.
- See the in-app privacy policy for the full picture.
