Before the machines take our jobs, they may help us work better. That was the original promise of computers, but as we all know they’re just as powerful as tools for procrastination as they are for productivity. Brain.fm is a music streaming service that helps you stay on task by generating a soundtrack using brain research to improve focus, foster relaxation, and help settle into sleep. Right now you can get a lifetime subscription for just $39 at Cult of Mac Deals.
According to Brain.fm, your mind should settle into the patterns set by the music in 15 minutes or so. Its algorithms are informed by a deep database of neurological knowledge, allowing it to generate background music ideally tuned for the moment, whether it’s to get things done or just to rest. You can set the stream to play for 30 minutes, for an hour, 2 hours, or just indefinitely — like the Terminator, it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you’re in the right headspace.
