Binaura is the short brand name for an iOS app in English with soundscapes and breathing exercises for focus, sleep and relaxation.
Who makes it and where it is available
Binaura is published by PLAY ROCKETS LLC. The app runs on iOS and its interface is English. Its primary App Store category is Productivity, and its App Store identifier is 6702029639.
What binaural beats are
A binaural beat is an auditory percept that can occur when slightly different tones are presented separately to each ear. Stereo headphones normally preserve that separation. That explains the listening setup; it does not show that a selected beat will reliably put a listener into a chosen state.
What the app does not do
Binaura does not guarantee a time to fall asleep, a productivity increase, a reduction in distractions, or a particular feeling after listening. It does not diagnose health conditions or replace professional care. The app offers listening and breathing-routine options, not promised results.
How to read claims about binaural beats
The research is mixed and mostly small-sample. Some experiments report short-term changes on selected tasks, while others do not. A study of binaural beats is not a study of this app, and a result from music or another kind of audio is not proof about binaural beats.
