Six flow states

One for every kind of work.

Each one is built to drop you into the flow state that fits the task, with its own evolving piece of music tuned to a specific brainwave range. You just choose where you're going.

Deep Focus

40 Hz · Gamma

Peak concentration for hard problems, coding, writing, solo execution.

Active Focus

16 Hz · Beta

Energized alertness for admin sprints, planning, tactical problem-solving.

Study

10 Hz · Alpha

Calm absorption for reading, courses, notes, retention work.

Create

8 Hz · Low Alpha

Open, associative flow for design and ideation.

Unwind

6 Hz · Theta

Decompression and reset when the work is done.

Sleep

2.5 Hz · Delta

A slow descent into delta for sleep onset.

How it works

The music itself is the pulse.

No tones buried under a track. No binaural trickery. The volume of real, composed music rises and falls at your target rate, and your brain naturally follows.

1

Pick where you're going

Six states, from 40 Hz deep focus down to 2.5 Hz sleep. Tap one and set your length, from 10 to 90 minutes.

2

Ease in with the ramp

Every session glides the pulse up to its target rate, so you settle into the state instead of getting startled into it.

3

Lock your phone and go

Drop it in your pocket and stay in the flow state. The music keeps playing with lock-screen controls, and Lock Quality scores how undisturbed each session was.

FlowLock is built on amplitude modulation, the same class of mechanism validated in peer-reviewed research for supporting sustained attention. It is not binaural beats, and not a tone hidden under the music. The music you hear is the thing your brain locks onto.

Inside a session

Beautiful, calm, alive.

Visuals that move with the music, and hold perfectly still if you use Reduce Motion.

Questions

Good to know.

Is this binaural beats?+

No. Binaural beats play two slightly different tones, one in each ear. FlowLock is different: the actual volume of composed music rises and falls at your target rate. The music is the pulse, so it works on speakers too, though headphones feel best.

Do I need headphones?+

Headphones give the richest experience, but because the pulse lives in the music itself, FlowLock also works fine through your phone speaker or any Bluetooth speaker.

Is it really a one-time payment?+

Yes. One purchase of $19.99 unlocks everything, permanently. No subscription, no renewals, and future sound beds ship to you at no extra cost.

Does it play while my phone is locked?+

Yes. Start a session, lock your phone, and the music keeps going with full lock-screen controls. Sessions survive interruptions like calls and alarms.

What data do you collect?+

None. No account, no email, no analytics, no tracking. Everything lives on your device and the app works fully offline.

Will this fix my ADHD or replace medical care?+

No. FlowLock is designed to support focus and relaxation. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. Effects vary from person to person.

Sit down. Press start. Get into it.

Made for people who just want to lock in.
