Frequa

Hear what no one
was allowed to hear in 1983.

In 1983 the CIA analyzed whether targeted sound frequencies can expand consciousness. The file is freely available today. Frequa turns it into audible sessions: binaural beats, Solfeggio tones and your own frequencies.

The story

A file that was never meant to be public

What began as an internal report for the US military is today one of the most-read documents in the CIA Reading Room. This is the story behind Frequa.

1970er
The Monroe Institute

Radio pioneer Robert Monroe develops the „Gateway Experience“ training: using binaural beats, that is minimally different tones in each ear, consciousness is guided into defined deep states, the so-called Focus levels. He patents the technique.

1983
The CIA takes notice

Lieutenant Colonel Wayne McDonnell is tasked with assessing the method scientifically. His report „Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process“ describes across nearly 30 pages how Hemi-Sync synchronizes the brain hemispheres and which states it is said to reach, all the way to Focus 21, the „movement beyond the limits of space and time“.

2003
The release

The file is declassified and published in the CIA Reading Room. Decades later it goes viral: millions read the original, and the Gateway tapes see a renaissance.

Today
Frequa

Frequa turns the file's frequency logic into sessions for your phone: precisely generated binaural beats, layered as in the original patent, with the sources right inside the app. No esoteric black box, but verifiable down to the last page.

The technique

How a tone arises that only your brain hears

Binaural beats are not a recording but a phenomenon of your perception. All you need is headphones.

Left ear
200 Hz

A pure, constant tone

Right ear
204 Hz

Tuned minimally higher

Your brain hears
4 Hz

The difference: a deep Theta beat your brainwaves can sync to

Put on headphones, keep it quiet. You hear a tone that seems to pulse gently: that is the beat your brain creates.
For skeptics

Don't believe frequencies
affect your body?

Then take two minutes. Headphones on, pleasantly quiet, eyes closed. Six phases, each one demonstrates a different measurable effect of your perception. No trick, no suggestion: you can look up every effect afterward in the frequency glossary.

Ready
The 2-minute proof

Six phases, 120 seconds. Clearest with your eyes closed.

0:00 / 2:00
Felt it? That was just the demo. The app guides you through 25-minute sessions with the same techniques, from the Gateway protocol to your own frequencies.
Start quietly and adjust as needed. Not while driving or operating machinery. With epilepsy or neurological conditions, seek medical advice first.
Live preview
The app

This is what Frequa looks like

A real preview, not a mockup. The full app with all sessions arrives at launch on the App Store and Google Play.

Gateway protocols

Six layered sessions based on the file's frequency logic, from Earth resonance to Focus 21 depth.

Solfeggio frequencies

The ten classic tones from 174 to 963 Hz as pure sessions, honestly framed, with no healing promises.

Your own frequencies

Set the beat and carrier tone freely, with a timer and playback choice: binaural over headphones or isochronic pulsing over speakers.

Guided journey

The app guides you step by step, like the original training: first settle in, then go deeper. With a streak and recommendations to match the time of day.

The protocols

Six paths, one principle

Each protocol guides your brain through several phases into a defined state and gently back again. In the app you can read the background and original sources for each one.

Earth resonance
7.83 Hz, the planet's Schumann frequency. The entry point: neutral and grounding.
Expanded awareness
Focus 12 logic: descent to 4 Hz Theta with a 7 Hz layer, the foundation of the training.
Creative flow
The Theta-Alpha border, where images and ideas surface on their own.
Third eye
963 Hz carrier with a 6 Hz Theta beat: Solfeggio tradition meets brainwave technique.
Motivation
Beta energy plus 40 Hz Gamma: the only protocol that ramps up instead of down.
Transcendence
Focus 21 logic: deep Delta with a waking mind, the most advanced level.
Frequency glossary

Which frequency does what?

The little reference: the brainwave bands, the Earth resonance and the Solfeggio scale at a glance.

Brainwave bands

RangeBandState
0,5–4 HzDeltaDreamless deep sleep, physical regeneration. In Gateway logic: the deepest sessions with a waking mind („Mind awake, body asleep“).
4–8 HzThetaTrance, deep meditation, hypnagogia. The working band of most Gateway protocols.
7,83 HzSchumannThe base resonance between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere, physically measurable. It sits exactly at the Theta-Alpha border; the CIA file too describes 6.8–7.5 Hz as the resonance range between body and Earth field.
8–13 HzAlphaRelaxed wakefulness, eyes closed, calm focus. The state just before falling asleep and after good meditation.
13–30 HzBetaFocused work, alertness, activation.
~40 HzGammaNotable in EEG studies of experienced meditators in the deepest states; in research linked to attention and information processing.

The Solfeggio scale

FrequencyTraditional meaning
174 HzPain relief and safety
285 HzRegeneration
396 HzReleasing fear
417 HzChange and new beginnings
432 HzHarmony, the alternative concert pitch
528 HzLove and transformation
639 HzRelationships
741 HzCleansing and expression
852 HzIntuition
963 HzUnity, the „crown chakra“
Honestly framed: the Solfeggio meanings are spiritual tradition, not a lab result. What undeniably works: a pure, steady tone is a strong meditation anchor. That is exactly how we use them in Frequa, and exactly what the app says too.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are binaural beats?

On the left and right you hear two minimally different tones, for example 200 and 204 Hz. From the difference your brain creates a third, inaudibly low „beat“ (here: 4 Hz) and can sync to that rhythm. The phenomenon is called the Frequency Following Response and has been described since the 1970s.

Do I need headphones?

For binaural beats yes, because each ear needs its own tone. For speakers Frequa has an isochronic mode (the tone pulses audibly in the beat rhythm) and the pure Solfeggio tones, which work without headphones anyway.

Is this scientifically proven?

Honest answer: partly. It is well established that binaural beats exist and are measurable, and many studies show relaxation effects. Anything toward expanded consciousness is experiential territory, from the CIA file to millions of user reports. Frequa promises no miracles: we show you the sources and you make your own experience.

Is the CIA file real?

Yes. „Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process“ (1983) was declassified in 2003 and sits in the CIA's official Reading Room. On this page and in the app we link the original PDF, so you can check every claim yourself.

Does this replace therapy or treatment?

No. Frequa is a meditation and relaxation experience, not a medical device and not a therapy. Do not use while driving or operating machinery. With epilepsy or neurological conditions, seek medical advice first.

What does Frequa cost?

The web version is currently free to use. The app-store version is in progress; the plan is a fair model with a free entry and a one-time purchase option instead of forced subscriptions.

Be there at launch.

Frequa arrives soon on the App Store and Google Play. Sign up and you'll be the first to know when it's ready, plus a founder offer at launch.
