You've tried everything.
Why isn't it working?
There's a reason.
Most sleep, calm, and focus apps give you content — music, nature sounds, guided voices. But your brain doesn't change from content. It changes from protocol. Tihna is the first app built on that difference.
Think about it for a second: You've listened to sleep sounds. You've tried meditation apps. You've done breathing exercises. And you still wake up tired, or anxious, or unable to focus for more than 20 minutes. What if the problem isn't your willpower — it's that those tools weren't built to change anything?
Your brain runs on frequencies.
And they’re measurable.
Neuroscientists have known for decades that different mental states — deep sleep, calm focus, sharp thinking — correspond to specific brainwave frequencies. The question was never whether this is real. The question was whether you could guide your brain there on purpose. The answer, as of 2024–2026, is yes.
Week 1–2: 6 Hz theta trains your brain out of the wired, racing thoughts state. Week 3–4: 3 Hz delta deepens sleep quality and recovery. 20 minutes before bed.
Alpha waves calm your nervous system without sedation or medication. Week 1–2 starts at 10 Hz. Week 3–4 bridges to 8 Hz for deeper nervous system reset.
Gamma is the frequency your brain produces during peak cognitive performance. Layered with 15 Hz beta for sustained energy. Works for deep work, studying, creative flow.
Tihna is designed to support your wellbeing — not to diagnose or treat medical conditions. Not suitable for people with epilepsy or pacemakers. Always consult a healthcare professional.
So if 6 Hz theta genuinely halves sleep latency in a lab — and 10 Hz alpha cuts surgical anxiety by 15% — the obvious question becomes: why don’t more people use this? The answer is that until now, no app was structured to deliver it properly. Most just play a frequency and call it done. That’s the gap Tihna was built to fill.
Built different.
By design.
The research is in.
The results are hard to ignore.
These aren't wellness claims. Every finding below comes from a randomised controlled trial — the same standard used to approve medications. Tap any card to read the full study or the plain-English breakdown we wrote for it.

Peak focus
Tihna targets the 4 frequencies your brain uses to shift between states. Delta — the deepest sleep stage — occurs naturally when Theta does its job.

Choose your goal
Sleep better, feel calmer, or think sharper. Pick one. Tihna asks you 3 questions max — not a 15-minute intake quiz.
Plug in your headphones
Neural frequency programs require stereo headphones to work — the two ears hear slightly different tones that create the effect. Tihna verifies your setup before every session. No competitor does this.
Run your daily session (15–20 min)
Watch the live waveform pulse at your exact frequency. Read the study behind it. Sleep and Calm sessions are 20 minutes. Morning Energy is 15. Just put on your headphones, breathe, and let the protocol work.
Track your transformation
Every session logs your data. By Week 4 you'll have real numbers — sleep latency, calm baseline, focus duration. Not a feeling. A measurable shift.
See the difference.
You’ll know which one you need.
