Our Generator comes with dozens of built-in presets, but its true power is unlocked when you start creating and saving your own. By building a personal library of presets, you transform the generator from a tool into a customized toolkit, with the perfect sound for any situation just one click away.
Why Build Your Own Presets?
Everyone's brain and preferences are different. The "perfect" focus sound for one person might be distracting to another. By creating your own presets, you can:
- Fine-tune Frequencies: Maybe 10 Hz Alpha is good, but 11.5 Hz is your personal "flow state" sweet spot. Save it!
- Perfect Your Ambience: Dial in the exact mix of binaural tone and background noise that works for you.
- Save Time: Instead of tweaking 10+ sliders every time, you can get to your desired state in seconds.
- Create for Specific Tasks: Design different sounds for different activities—one for creative writing, one for analytical work, one for a 15-minute nap.
Your "Must-Have" Preset Starter Pack

1. The "Deep Work" Preset

2. The "Creative Burst" Preset

3. The "15-Min Power Nap" Preset
