Do I need a credit card for the free trial?+
No. You can start the 5-day FULL ACCESS trial without entering any card details, and nothing is charged automatically when it ends.
How is this different from white noise?+
White noise masks distracting sound, and BIFROST includes three types of noise too. On top of that, BIFROST generates separate carriers for your left and right ears on the device, with a designed frequency difference between them. Beyond simply masking, you can see what frequency is playing on screen and match it to what you're doing.
What exactly makes this different from tracks on YouTube?+
YouTube plays a finished audio file. BIFROST generates the left and right carriers on your device and displays their beat frequency, phase, spectrum, and carrier-to-background S/N inside the app. The monitor reflects BIFROST’s internal signal; later processing by the OS or playback hardware is outside its scope.
Are headphones required?+
Binaural playback requires headphones or earphones to deliver separate carriers to the left and right ears. Speaker mode on FULL ACCESS is a separate method that applies AM to the selected source; it does not play binaural carriers through speakers.
Is it safe to use? Is there anyone who shouldn't?+
BIFROST is an audio tool, not a medical device. Don't use it while driving, operating machinery, or in any situation that needs your attention. If you have a history of epilepsy or seizures, a heart condition, a pacemaker, a psychiatric or neurological condition, hyperacusis, or are pregnant or may be pregnant, please consult a physician before use. Start at a safe volume and stop immediately if you feel unwell.
Can I use it while under medical care or on medication?+
BIFROST is an audio tool, not a treatment. If you have a medical condition or are under care or on medication, please consult your doctor before use, just to be safe. BIFROST is not a substitute for medication or medical treatment.
What if I don't notice much of an effect?+
Responses vary from person to person. First, use headphones or earphones (binaural needs left/right separation), in a quiet environment, with a session that matches your goal. Start at a low volume and adjust; if you layer a background sound, DNEQ can protect the carrier's frequency band. BIFROST doesn't guarantee a specific effect — it's a tool that lets you adjust your own conditions and see for yourself.
Can I preview Studio on FREE?+
Studio and its ten variable programs are available only with FULL ACCESS. During the 5-day FULL ACCESS free trial, all current features, including Studio, are available without restriction.
Can I cancel at any time?+
Yes, from inside the app. Cancelling stops the next charge, and access continues until the end of the current billing period. Payments are processed by Stripe.
