Hello Product Hunt! Here’s what’s happened since you premiated Endel’s science-driven, AI-powered soundscapes with a Golden Kitty in 2022… In one and a half years, the number of Endel users diagnosed with ADHD or experiencing ADHD-related challenges rose from 31% to 53% – as shown by our onboarding survey. Helping against distractions is Endel’s area of expertise. However, filtering out distractions multiplied by unique ADHD traits of a neurodivergent person is a whole different kind. Luckily, Nik @adhdvision, an ADHD advocate and Endel’s long-standing collaborator, helped us form a set of features to match — some of them going beyond just sound. Nik’s engaged community willingly participated in the research, testing, and even marketing for this new face of Endel. The resulting major update was co-created with hundreds of ADHD people who entrusted their focus, relaxation, and sleep to Endel even before the app could offer a proper ADHD-focused experience. But now, they have their own domain inside the app! The best way to get to know the new features is to check them out yourself with this free extended trial link (1 month free): https://endel.io/producthunt Even if your life patterns are not affected by ADHD, you might still find useful features in this update. Whether neurodivergent or neuronormative, we all need help with distraction! Here’s a quick summary of what the update has to offer: • A tunable, endless, AI-generated soundscape featuring popular Colored Noises widely used in sound therapy (white and black included), plus our own special Endel Noise designed for longer listening sessions • An App Blocker feature that turns your phone from a FOMO-fueling machine into a source of calm. You can manually choose which apps to mute or temporarily block whole app categories (messengers, media, etc.) • Three sound Scenarios made to support ADHD: Attention Boost for work, Brain Massage for a break, and Binaural Beats for both • A task headline added to our Focus Timer tool, to help you keep your goal in sight when working. This simple affirmation technique gives you a psychological boost and helps with finishing tasks • A streamlined app interface that places a range of sounds and features at your fingertips – and does so in style • As an extra, we’ve produced a capsule collection of merch. Being a community-driven project, this release was destined to be coupled with some nifty merch as a means of two-way support I’d love to hear any thoughts and suggestions you might have relating to the new features — feel free to share them in this thread. Questions will also be appreciated.
