Spiritune helps you feel your best and manage difficult emotions using music designed by principles of music therapy and neuroscience. Transition from anxiety to calmness, or lethargic to energized, with a few clicks and you’ll be feeling better in seconds
Hey Product Hunt, I’m Jamie the founder of Spiritune.
For years, I struggled with a high stress job in NYC, and finding simple ways to cope with anxiety was tough. I turned to music as my best coping mechanism. I became so curious about my therapeutic approach to music that I started DJing and remixing tracks because a lot of music didn’t feel quite “in tune” with how I wanted to feel. As I started sharing my music and building music health experiences, I also started meeting with neuroscientists and music therapists to better understand the scientific underpinnings of helping people feel better with audio. I decided to build a team of music therapists and neuroscientists from leading institutions like Stanford and NYU that could help me build an evidence-based approach to music and health. Our work formed the knowledge base and design of Spiritune, an iOS app that has helped 90% of our users achieve their emotional goals. Here’s how it works:
- Choose how you’re feeling now (for example, anxious)
- Choose how you want to feel (for example, calm)
- Select the category of what you’re doing (for example, work)
- Within seconds, you’ll be listening to custom audio designed to help you make that emotional transition
I’ll be here all day to answer any questions, and welcome your feedback :)
@aaron_cohn Thanks for reaching out, I'd be happy to share more! The science behind music as medicine dates back to the 1950's and 1960's, when psychiatrists, psychologists, and musicians began developing a field known as music therapy (today, music therapists are licensed and often on staff at medical schools and hospitals). What makes Spiritune different is that it's the first digital application to incorporate these clinically-validated, evidence-based principles of music therapy that have proven effective in managing stress, improving performance, and helping people deal with difficult emotions. As a result, Spiritune's app and music are designed to help you transition away from specific feelings - like anger, lethargy, or sadness - to positive ones, much like you would experience in a session with a music therapist (it’s called the iso principle). In addition, Spiritune incorporates cutting-edge principles of neuroscience in its workflow mode to help you stay focused for significantly longer periods of time. Together, our unique approach combining principles of music therapy and neuroscience has led to 90% of beta users sharing that Spiritune helped them achieve their desired emotional transition.
@patricia_loftus thank you for your question! Our environment is crucial to our well-being and productivity, whether that's at the office or working from home. The sounds that surround us can either distract us or help us feel better and find focus. Many of the playlists people pick on their own in regular music streaming sites can often be distracting b/c those songs contain musical characteristics that can be distracting or not quite "in tune" with the appropriate energy level or musical qualities that can help physiologically with stress or focus. In contrast, Spiritune offers sounds and compositions that are specifically designed and personalized to build out a sonic environment that's conducive to stress reduction and finding more focus (as simply as through your own headphones or personal speaker). We serve custom audio stimulation tailored to your energy level, so that you can find focus and the appropriate amount of energy whether you're sitting down for work in the morning or trying to beat the afternoon work slump. During the pandemic when most people are working from home, we've received amazing feedback that Spiritune has been an incredible tool to improve and optimize their WFH environment. Hope that helps, and I hope you'll try Spiritune out if you haven't yet!
@jamie_pabst1 Wow. Tell me more about how the music is created and customized based on my unique situation? Looking forward to availability on Google Play!
@patricia_loftus another great question! Each musical composition is created proprietarily by our composers that are following strict guidelines built by our team of music therapists and neuroscientists, then each composition is audited by our machine learning/AI classification system that ensures each composition upholds our scientific standards. The customization is also proprietary in adapting to a listener's current state, then transitioning them to their desired target state, and also customized specifically for a user's activity (for example: working, winding down, sleep, etc). We would love for you to check us out on Google Play when we release for Android. Coming soon!
