Make relaxing soundscapes
on the fly
Binaural Forge is an Android app designed to create custom binaural beats in real time using pure sine wave synthesis.
Whether you want to enhance focus, relaxation, meditation, or sleep, Binaural Forge provides precise control over audio frequencies to craft your perfect soundscape.

What Are Binaural Beats ?
Binaural beats are a sound illusion that happens when your left and right ears hear two slightly different sine wave frequencies; your brain blends them and creates a third sound — the binaural beat — which matches the difference between the two frequencies. To experience this effect, stereo headphones are needed.
Origins of binaural beats
The phenomenon was first described in 1839 by Prussian physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Dove. He observed that binaural beats occur under specific conditions :
- Both tones must be pure sine waves.
- Frequencies played to each ear should be below 1000 Hertz (Hz).
- The difference between the two frequencies must be 40 Hertz or less.
Since then, binaural beats have been extensively studied for their effects on brainwave entrainment and have influenced a wide range of fields including relaxation, meditation, cognitive enhancement, and neuroscience research.
Requirements
- Pure sine waves
- Different frequency in each ear
- Frequency difference under 40 Hz
- Carrier frequencies below 1000 Hz
- Stereo headphones
Beat frequency example
Left ear : 250 Hz
Right ear : 255 Hz
→ Brain perceives a 5 Hz beat frequency (in the Theta range)
This phantom beat helps induce meditation, intuition and creativity.
Common brainwave types
- Infra-low (< 0.5 Hz) – Deep healing states
- Delta (0.5–4 Hz) – Deep sleep, physical restoration
- Theta (4–8 Hz) – Meditation, intuition, creativity
- Alpha (8–13 Hz) – Calm focus, stress relief
- Beta (13–30 Hz) – Alertness, active thinking
- Gamma (30+ Hz) – Memory, learning, cognitive clarity
Key Features
Experience the power of real-time audio synthesis with Binaural Forge. Its intuitive interface and precise controls let you effortlessly craft personalized binaural beats tailored to your mental state and goals. Whether you’re seeking deep relaxation, enhanced focus, or improved sleep, Binaural Forge delivers smooth, glitch-free soundscapes designed to support your well-being and productivity.
How The App Works
Binaural Forge generates custom binaural beats by precisely controlling two separate pure sine wave frequencies, delivering an immersive auditory experience designed to influence your brainwaves. The app’s audio engine and intuitive controls allow you to create smooth, continuous beats tailored to your personal needs in real time.
Real-time sine wave synthesis
The app generates pure sine waves independently for each ear, dynamically combining them to produce binaural beats without relying on pre-recorded samples. This approach ensures smooth, high-quality audio with no interruptions or clicks.
Independent frequency control
You can adjust the frequencies for the left and right ears separately using intuitive knobs or numeric inputs. This flexibility lets you customize the binaural beat’s frequency difference precisely, shaping the brainwave state you want to achieve. Range: 0 Hz to 22,000 Hz.
Frequency linking mode
For convenience, you can link the two frequencies to maintain a fixed offset while adjusting both ears simultaneously. This mode helps create consistent binaural beats while still offering easy control.
Customizable audio parameters
Volume and tempo (the speed at which frequencies change) can be adjusted with vertical sliders and numeric inputs. These settings let you fine-tune the listening experience to suit your preferences and environment.
Use Cases
Binaural Forge is a versatile tool designed to support a variety of mental states and activities. Whether you’re looking to calm your mind, improve sleep quality, boost concentration, or spark creativity, the app offers tailored audio experiences to help you reach your goals.
