Very cool of you, I was debating the $149 price tag, but at $30 I just paid before I could think of a reason not to.

Quick question: is there a way to use an audio player (e.g., Audacious, RhythmBox, VLC) to stream the music without using a web browser? The animated light curves in the background make the browser use 100% of a whole CPU core, which isn't ideal, especially when using a laptop on battery.

Eeeek we getting fixing this asap. Until then iOS app is best bet.

netflixsvb verified
how about approximating those sine-wave curves with bezier curves?

ps: I'm getting my salary on Nov. 11th so could you extend your offer until then?

netflixsvb verified
Plug of my own. I'm a maintainer on an OSX toolbar plugin called BeardedSpice. Simple mapping of play/pause/etc/ keys to website audio players.

I was really happy to see we already had a controller strategy for brain.fm. You guys are making great stuff.

Hey, I'm really digging the Focus music. I was wondering to what headphones are you guys tuning it. It sounds awesome on my studio monitors, but it sounds like crap on my ATH-M50 cans due to the bass going over its limit unless I keep it to a rather low volume.

I use Bose Q25s. The noise cancellation + constant noise of brain.fm are perfect for putting me in a bubble

Hey you coming out w/ an android app any time soon? Would love to try the relax while I sleep. Just bought the pro deal.

netflixsvb verified
Yup! 80% done, sprinting to release it.

Whenever I hear a programmer say "80% done" I think of the contractor's version: "two weeks", from the old '80s movie Money Pit:

The joke at my old work was 'basically done'. Meaning they spent a weekend equivalent on a prototype. Management heard 'done' the rest of us heard 'not production ready'.

netflixsvb verified
Here is, 'done, just needs testing'.

netflixsvb verified
Great, that means you only have 80% left to do!

netflixsvb verified
well generally I think however long the first 80% takes, the last 20% will take 1-2 times that.. but cool that they're working on an android version, I'm patient and can wait. Loving brain.fm it actually works to keep me focused.

netflixsvb verified
So it's a paid service, but it won't tell me the price (or the limits on free accounts) until I give it my email... No thanks.

netflixsvb verified
That's a great offer! I'm chiming in to say that it made it a no-brainer for me as well and I signed up. I'm also interested in an Android app. :)

netflixsvb verified
Just checked out your site and it is great. The sound is superb and it really helps focusing. Also, your offer is super generous.

However, you only accept credit card payments. I would never give my credit card info to a random site just to read a month from now that they've been hacked.

Is there a reason you are not accepting PayPal or BitCoins? It seems that you are not using one of those big payment processors either.

netflixsvb verified
According to the FAQs they use Stripe.

netflixsvb verified
My fault. Indeed they submit to stripe. Sorry for the mistake.

netflixsvb verified
The form was pointing to their own website.

netflixsvb verified
That coupon code shows a negative price for the lower level memberships, not sure if that means you will be paying us for it :)

netflixsvb verified
that would be a revolutionary business model

it's a tiny bug, fixing now!

netflixsvb verified
I just tried it for an hour or so and it does seem great. Bummed on the lack of an Android app though... would've helped me immediately.

Anyway, I read your comments that it is nearly 80% done so I'll give it a shot and signup. The mobile version on Chrome browser works decently well so I think I'll manage with that till then.

netflixsvb verified
Very cool of you guys offering such a big discount. Tried to sign-up, saw the banner (about the discount), chose lifetime subscription (even without trying) but my card still was charged $149.99. ;( Is there a way to fix this? I mean it totally maybe worth it, yet I wasn't ready to spend that much.

netflixsvb verified
Oh, I just got refunded. Thanks!

netflixsvb verified
Impulse purchased this last night without really knowing what it was but boy was i impressed! Incredible really what you've done here and the developement team here loved it to! Well Played chaps!

netflixsvb verified
I just spent 50 bucks for a yearly subscription to one of your competitors a week ago. My biggest complaint about them is that I can't get a list of tracks that I've really enjoyed and there's no upvote, play more like this feature. I don't care about social "likes" but some songs in an otherwise great playlist are just really grating and throw me right out of the focus window. It would be nice to say "don't play this again"

I should also consider the possibility that the user is confused between Netflix's verification process (like for content) and banking verification through SVB. Clarifying that Netflix and SVB are separate entities, each with their own verification systems, would be important.

Given the lack of explicit information about Netflix and SVB in public sources up to December 2023, it's possible that there's no official verified relationship. However, the user might have encountered claims online, so I should address the possibility of misinformation or misinterpretation.

In structuring the report, I should outline the key sections: introduction, background on SVB, possible connections to Netflix, verification processes of both entities, analysis of misinformation, and a conclusion. I need to mention SVB's collapse in 2023 as context, explain that there's no known verification process linking Netflix and SVB, discuss the likelihood of misinformation or scams, and advise on verifying information through official channels. netflixsvb verified

Finally, wrap up by emphasizing the separation of services between Netflix and SVB and the importance of relying on verified information from authoritative sources.

Next, I should check if Netflix has any ties to SVB. SVB typically serves tech startups and venture-backed companies. I need to see if Netflix was an SVB client. Let me recall: Netflix is a major company, maybe they have a banking relationship with SVB, or perhaps there's no public information about it. Also, the term "verified" could mean different things—maybe a verification process for companies by SVB, or it could refer to verification of transactions or accounts. I should also consider the possibility that the

Wait, there was confusion in the media after SVB's collapse whether companies that had ties to SVB would be affected. Perhaps Netflix is being mentioned in a similar context. I need to confirm if Netflix ever had a banking relationship with SVB. My knowledge base might not have the latest info beyond December 2023, so I need to rely on public records or historical data.

I should also check if there's any official statement from Netflix regarding SVB. Since I can't access external links, I'll have to rely on my knowledge up to December 2023. From what I know, there was no public announcement from Netflix about SVB failure affecting them directly, as they have substantial cash reserves and likely diversified banking. However, the user might have encountered claims online,

Additionally, any potential misinformation after SVB's collapse—were there any instances where Netflix was wrongly linked to SVB issues? Maybe in the aftermath of SVB's failure, some sources might have incorrectly associated well-known companies like Netflix as clients, leading to the term "verified" being used loosely.

Including advice for users to be cautious about phishing attempts or fake verification processes is also important. Maybe mention that if users receive communications claiming they need to verify an account with both Netflix and SVB, they should verify through official websites.

Another angle: the user might be referring to a verification badge or check mark that Netflix uses to verify content or user accounts. But connecting that to SVB seems unlikely. Alternatively, it could be about a partnership between Netflix and SVB, but I don't recall such a partnership.

I'm a little late to the party. I bought the lifetime license from an earlier link that had it at $40.

My question is, is the tremolo/pulsating nature of the chords (sort of sounds like a helicopter) on most of the music a side-effect to the AI generated sounds, or is this by-design? If by-design, are there settings I could tinker with? If not, feature request. :)

I'm starting to find this a bit unnerving after extended periods, but it could be a personal preference.

netflixsvb verified
Only some of the tracks have this. It's by design.

netflixsvb verified
Previously I was cleaning cookies / local storage (to have more free sessions). Then I downloaded MP3 and created playlists. At $29 I have no other option but to buy it... HURRAY! . . . . brain.fm is like matrix, I admit!

netflixsvb verified
Extremely cool of you to do this. Discovered the service yesterday, tried it, was amazed (hopefully not placebo) and today signed up (lifetime deal).

netflixsvb verified
Is it possible to have a similar deal again since from the comments seems there are a lot of developers interesting in your service ? Thanks!

netflixsvb verified
When is an Android app coming?

netflixsvb verified
Clicked it, tried it, impulse bought. Seems worth it so far :)

netflixsvb verified
Assuming theres no Android app?

Any ETA?

netflixsvb verified
I think you can still run it in the browser. Not quite the same, I know (the iOS app is nice), but I think it might do for now.

netflixsvb verified
Awesome. Subscribed!
