The Rayline player: a waveform display, Play session button, volume, tone and balance knobs, and sliders for ambience, beat spacing, binaural tones and a 20 minute session.

Set the atmosphere

Find your kind of quiet.

Four textures

White noise, pink noise, brown noise and beach surf. Pick one as your background and hear the texture change.

  • White
  • Pink
  • Brown
  • Beach surf

Binaural tones

Two tones, one experience. Play 220 Hz in your left ear and 230 Hz in your right and you'll hear a gentle 10 Hz beat. Adjust the beat spacing to taste.

🎧 Use stereo headphones for binaural tones.

Presets that fit your day

Start with Focus, Unwind or Meditation, then adjust volume, tone, balance and ambience to make it yours.

  • Focus
  • Unwind
  • Meditation

Timer with a gentle fade

Choose a session length (say, 20 minutes) and Rayline fades out softly when it's done.

On your device

All audio is generated on your device. No streaming required.

Lightweight

Designed to stay lightweight: a compact desktop sound machine.

Your settings. Your ritual.

Make the moment yours.

Start with a preset and adjust it to your taste: ambience, binaural level, beat spacing, volume, tone and balance.

Preset names describe mixes, not guaranteed outcomes.

Rayline controls with the Unwind program, beach surf background, 85% ambience, 8 Hz beat spacing and a 20:00 timer.

A little time. A mindful practice.

Make room for meditation.

Choose your mix. Set a timer. Return to the present.

Opening Rayline on a Mac for the first time

Rayline isn't distributed through the App Store yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first launch. Unzip the download, move rayline to Applications and open it. If macOS says it can't be opened, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. You only need to do this once.

Opening Rayline on Windows for the first time

Unzip the download anywhere (your Desktop or a USB stick is fine) and double-click rayline.exe. Nothing gets installed. Rayline isn't signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway. It uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime that comes with Windows 11 and most Windows 10 PCs.

Sound for your routine, not a medical treatment. Rayline hasn't been clinically tested. Binaural audio is being studied for relaxation and anxiety in specific settings, but results vary and reliable brainwave entrainment has not been established. Research suggesting mindfulness programs may reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms concerns meditation practice; those benefits are not established for this player (sources: NCCIH; Goyal et al., 2014). If you have health concerns, talk to a qualified professional.
