Not a medical device or treatment. Alterstate is a wellness tool for relaxation, focus, and reflection. It is not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, or psychiatric care, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.
Alterstate's binaural tones, isochronic pulses, and generative audio are designed to support relaxation, focus, and sleep. Its hypnotic inductions use spoken guidance and suggestion for relaxation and self-reflection — they are self-guided wellness content, not clinical hypnotherapy administered by a licensed practitioner.
Talk to a doctor before using binaural tones, isochronic pulses, or hypnotic content if you:
If you feel dizzy, disoriented, unusually anxious, or otherwise unwell during a session, stop and remove your headphones. Give yourself a moment before returning to normal activity, especially before driving. If discomfort continues, speak with a healthcare provider.
Alterstate is not equipped to respond to emergencies and does not monitor your sessions in real time. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, please contact your local emergency services, or a crisis line such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US), Samaritans on 116 123 (UK & Ireland), or the international directory at findahelpline.com.
Alterstate uses your mood selections and check-in inputs to suggest sessions. If you connect Apple Health, it displays the readings you permit it to access, such as heart rate and HRV. These Apple Health readings are not currently used to choose session recommendations, provide medical assessments, or flag health concerns. See our Privacy Policy for details on what's read and written.
