4 Great Free iPhone Apps for Binaural Meditation


1. Binaural Beats

This app gives users the opportunity to customize their binaural beats experience by creating their own tracks out of a combination of binaural beats, background noise, and ambient sounds to customize your own theme. You can also customize further by configuring how loudly each layer of sound is played (meaning you can set a higher volume for background noise and enjoy those sounds instead of only binaural beats). Also you can set ambient noises to play on a loop and time the application to shutdown after x number of minutes and then fades out.
7 Preset Themes with Binaural Beats:

  • Pre-Sleep Induction
  • Headache Killer
  • Quick Relaxation
  • Study Aid
  • Deep Meditation
  • Memory Helper
  • Busy Thinking

7 Background Noise Tracks:

  • Autumn Wind
  • Calm Sea
  • Heavy Rain with Thunder
  • Hurricane
  • Rain Forest
  • Soft Tide
  • Underwater

18 Ambient Sound Tracks

  • Birds
  • Bubbles
  • Campfire
  • Clock
  • Corbie
  • Creek
  • Crickets

  • River
  • Seagulls

2. iBrainWave SE - Binaural Beats and White Noise
This app is fantastic because it not only lets you reach brain states such as Sleep, Meditate, Relax, Normal, Energize, and Active, but also lets you do it from the comfort of your own iTunes (meaning you can play binaural beats behind your iTunes music).
Other features include:

  • Automatic save and restore for sessions so you can answer a phone call or send a text without interrupting your session
  • A reduced amount of battery life is needed to run the app
  • Volume control for binaural beats separate from your iTunes music

3. Pure Meditation Premium* | AmbiScience. Binaural & Isochronic Ambient Meditation Utility
AmbiScience has many different binaural beats apps but this is the only one that is currently free in the app store. The app also is the only one of its kind that provides both binaurals and isochronics. Isochronics work similarly to binaural beats but specifically lower brain frequencies and thus allow people to reach states of relaxation and peace similar to that of deep meditation.
Main Features:

  • 30 professionally created ambient tracks
  • 3 noise tracks and 2 sound tracks
  • 14 entertainment tracks (7 isochronic and 7 binaural) with low and high pitch changes
  • Ability to create your own custom programs
  • Multi-tasking capabilities which allow the binaural beats to be played in the Background while performing other tasks on your phone
  • Countdown timer with a fader and end chime to indicate the end of a binaural or isochronic session
  • A function to adjust the independent volumes of each track (binaural/isochronic, ambient backgrounds, and other sounds)
  • Free updates to the application
  • Minimal file sizes with the highest possible audio quality

4. Binaural Beethoven Lite
For classical music fans who are interested in binaural beats this is the app for you!
This application includes three classical pieces:

  • Piano Sonata No 14 in C# minor, Op. 27/2 ("Moonlight")
  • Piano Sonata No.26 in E-flat- minor, Op. 81a ("Les adieux")
  • Piano Sonata No. 18 in E-flat- major, Op. 31/3 ("La Chasse")

Users can combine these with binaural beats:

  • Sleeping
  • Meditation
  • Recharge
  • Brain Starter

Additionally, a third section of the app includes natural sounds that can be added to the combinations.
The natural sounds included are:

  • Jungle
  • Burning Fire
  • Wind Blowing
  • Crickets

Lastly, the app includes these sleep/wake-up features:

  • Built in alarm that has snooze capabilities and a flashlight
  • A timer for fading out tracks
