Frequently asked questions
About our apps
Which apps does MindStateLabs offer?
MindStateLabs develops MindState App for focus, relaxation, sleep, meditation, and creativity; MindState Kids for helping little minds unwind; MindState TinniTuner for tinnitus support; and MindState AfterNoise for a calmer moment after loud sound. All four apps are available on Android and iOS.
What is the difference between the apps?
MindState App helps you build flexible listening mixes with binaural beats, isochronic tones, ambient layers, and noise colors using the Quick editor and Full editor. MindState Kids offers a Calming Soundgarden shaped for young listeners. MindState TinniTuner matches your tinnitus pitch and offers filtered mixes for masking and habituation. MindState AfterNoise is made for temporary tinnitus after concerts, festivals, or other loud environments.
Do I need an account?
No. None of the apps require login or account creation.
Does Premium in one app unlock the others?
No. Subscriptions and in-app purchases are per app and are billed through Google Play or the App Store.
Where is my data stored?
Your mixes, settings, and listening data stay on your device. We do not operate application servers for your content. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Do the apps work offline?
Core listening works offline. Purchased entitlements are stored on your device so Premium features keep working without a connection.
Are these apps medical treatments?
No. The apps support wellbeing and daily listening routines, but they are not medical devices and do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent conditions. MindState TinniTuner and MindState AfterNoise do not cure tinnitus. Individual results vary.
MindState App
What audio files can I import?
MP3, WAV, and FLAC from device storage or bundled and sample-pack assets.
Do QR codes include my custom audio?
No. QR and share links include mix structure (tones, noise, effects) only. Re-attach file tracks after import.
How do Daily Rituals work on Android?
Alarms and notifications. Grant exact-alarm, battery, and notification permissions when prompted. Optional Do Not Disturb access lets playback continue during DND.
Can I start a ritual from a mix I am playing?
Yes. Use Create ritual on the player toolbar when subscribed.
Where can I learn more about MindState App features?
More detail, including included mixes and editors, is on the MindState App page.
MindState Kids
Who is MindState Kids for?
MindState Kids is a Calming Soundgarden for children who need help slowing down after a busy, noisy, or stimulating day. Parents stay in control of the experience, with comfortable listening levels and an age-appropriate design.
What can kids do in the Soundgarden?
Kids can explore calm sounds and gentle soundscapes, choose combinations that fit the moment, and with Premium discover more sounds, save favourites, and use flexible mix lengths.
Where can I learn more about MindState Kids?
See the MindState Kids page for the full story and how it works.
MindState TinniTuner
How does tinnitus pitch matching work?
You fine-tune your tinnitus pitch in the app, then choose a mix that filters a narrow band around that frequency. You can readjust when your tinnitus changes day to day.
Can TinniTuner cure my tinnitus?
No. It supports relaxation, masking, and habituation, but is not a medical treatment and does not cure tinnitus.
What can I try before Premium?
The white noise track is free forever. Every Premium mix includes a 5-minute preview so you can hear whether it feels right before subscribing.
What does Premium add?
Full-length Premium mixes, a progress log with optional daily check-ins, flexible mix lengths, and an 8-week habituation programme.
Where can I learn more about MindState TinniTuner?
See the MindState TinniTuner page for more detail.
MindState AfterNoise
When is MindState AfterNoise useful?
It is made for the moment after intense sound, such as concerts, festivals, sporting events, or other loud environments, when your ears and mind could use a quieter transition.
How does AfterNoise work?
You match the pitch of your temporary tinnitus, then listen to a personalised sound mix with notched sound, coloured noise, and calming ambient layers.
Is AfterNoise a medical treatment?
No. MindState AfterNoise supports relaxation and sound enrichment after loud noise. It is not a medical treatment and does not cure tinnitus.
