Very cool of you, I was debating the $149 price tag, but at $30 I just paid before I could think of a reason not to.

Quick question: is there a way to use an audio player (e.g., Audacious, RhythmBox, VLC) to stream the music without using a web browser? The animated light curves in the background make the browser use 100% of a whole CPU core, which isn't ideal, especially when using a laptop on battery.

Eeeek we getting fixing this asap. Until then iOS app is best bet.

index of se7en
how about approximating those sine-wave curves with bezier curves?

ps: I'm getting my salary on Nov. 11th so could you extend your offer until then?

Plug of my own. I'm a maintainer on an OSX toolbar plugin called BeardedSpice. Simple mapping of play/pause/etc/ keys to website audio players.

I was really happy to see we already had a controller strategy for brain.fm. You guys are making great stuff.

Hey, I'm really digging the Focus music. I was wondering to what headphones are you guys tuning it. It sounds awesome on my studio monitors, but it sounds like crap on my ATH-M50 cans due to the bass going over its limit unless I keep it to a rather low volume.

I use Bose Q25s. The noise cancellation + constant noise of brain.fm are perfect for putting me in a bubble

Hey you coming out w/ an android app any time soon? Would love to try the relax while I sleep. Just bought the pro deal.

index of se7en
Yup! 80% done, sprinting to release it.

Whenever I hear a programmer say "80% done" I think of the contractor's version: "two weeks", from the old '80s movie Money Pit:

The joke at my old work was 'basically done'. Meaning they spent a weekend equivalent on a prototype. Management heard 'done' the rest of us heard 'not production ready'.

index of se7en
Here is, 'done, just needs testing'.

index of se7en
Great, that means you only have 80% left to do!

index of se7en
well generally I think however long the first 80% takes, the last 20% will take 1-2 times that.. but cool that they're working on an android version, I'm patient and can wait. Loving brain.fm it actually works to keep me focused.

index of se7en
So it's a paid service, but it won't tell me the price (or the limits on free accounts) until I give it my email... No thanks.

index of se7en
That's a great offer! I'm chiming in to say that it made it a no-brainer for me as well and I signed up. I'm also interested in an Android app. :)

index of se7en
Just checked out your site and it is great. The sound is superb and it really helps focusing. Also, your offer is super generous.

However, you only accept credit card payments. I would never give my credit card info to a random site just to read a month from now that they've been hacked.

Is there a reason you are not accepting PayPal or BitCoins? It seems that you are not using one of those big payment processors either.

index of se7en
According to the FAQs they use Stripe.

index of se7en
My fault. Indeed they submit to stripe. Sorry for the mistake.

index of se7en
The form was pointing to their own website.

index of se7en
That coupon code shows a negative price for the lower level memberships, not sure if that means you will be paying us for it :)

index of se7en
that would be a revolutionary business model

it's a tiny bug, fixing now!

index of se7en
I just tried it for an hour or so and it does seem great. Bummed on the lack of an Android app though... would've helped me immediately.

Anyway, I read your comments that it is nearly 80% done so I'll give it a shot and signup. The mobile version on Chrome browser works decently well so I think I'll manage with that till then.

Very cool of you guys offering such a big discount. Tried to sign-up, saw the banner (about the discount), chose lifetime subscription (even without trying) but my card still was charged $149.99. ;( Is there a way to fix this? I mean it totally maybe worth it, yet I wasn't ready to spend that much.

index of se7en
Oh, I just got refunded. Thanks!

index of se7en
Impulse purchased this last night without really knowing what it was but boy was i impressed! Incredible really what you've done here and the developement team here loved it to! Well Played chaps!

index of se7en
I just spent 50 bucks for a yearly subscription to one of your competitors a week ago. My biggest complaint about them is that I can't get a list of tracks that I've really enjoyed and there's no upvote, play more like this feature. I don't care about social "likes" but some songs in an otherwise great playlist are just really grating and throw me right out of the focus window. It would be nice to say "don't play this again"

Typing "index of se7en" is an attempt to bypass traditional streaming websites or paywalls to download the film directly from an unprotected server. The Risks of Using Open Directories

Premise and Narrative Structure Se7en’s premise is elegantly simple: a killer named John Doe punishes victims according to the classical schema of the seven deadly sins—gluttony, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and wrath. The movie advances by uncovering one sin-coded tableau after another, with each murder staged as a grotesque allegory. This procedural scaffold allows Fincher to maintain taut pacing while offering increasingly elaborate moral puzzles. The linear investigative structure culminates in the film’s final twist—an apocalyptic denouement in which Doe forces the detectives into a moral choice—thereby converting a detective story into a moral fable. index of se7en

I'm a little late to the party. I bought the lifetime license from an earlier link that had it at $40.

My question is, is the tremolo/pulsating nature of the chords (sort of sounds like a helicopter) on most of the music a side-effect to the AI generated sounds, or is this by-design? If by-design, are there settings I could tinker with? If not, feature request. :)

I'm starting to find this a bit unnerving after extended periods, but it could be a personal preference.

index of se7en
Only some of the tracks have this. It's by design.

Previously I was cleaning cookies / local storage (to have more free sessions). Then I downloaded MP3 and created playlists. At $29 I have no other option but to buy it... HURRAY! . . . . brain.fm is like matrix, I admit!

index of se7en
Extremely cool of you to do this. Discovered the service yesterday, tried it, was amazed (hopefully not placebo) and today signed up (lifetime deal).

index of se7en
Is it possible to have a similar deal again since from the comments seems there are a lot of developers interesting in your service ? Thanks!

index of se7en
When is an Android app coming?

index of se7en
Clicked it, tried it, impulse bought. Seems worth it so far :)

index of se7en
Assuming theres no Android app?

Any ETA?

index of se7en
I think you can still run it in the browser. Not quite the same, I know (the iOS app is nice), but I think it might do for now.

index of se7en
Awesome. Subscribed!
