GROOVS is a music-driven attention training app. Instead of sitting quietly, you train your focus through rhythmic breathing or tapping, using music to keep you engaged.
Anyone whose performance suffers when their head gets in the way. The musician before the show. The athlete in the moment. The executive under pressure. The creative chasing flow.
Nobody eliminates mental interference. The people who perform best under pressure just get better at noticing and refocusing. That’s the skill. That’s what you’re building.

If that works better for you, absolutely. But if sitting still makes you restless, GROOVS might be your thing.

Pick a GROOV. Choose breathing or tapping mode. Then train. The whole thing takes 5 minutes. Focus, wander, notice, return. That’s a rep. Repeat.
Yes. GROOVS is a web app that works on any device: mobile, tablet, or desktop. A native app is on the roadmap but our first priority was making sure everyone could access it, regardless of device.
Most people notice something in their first few sessions: a quieter mind, a feeling of reset. Measurable changes in attention build over weeks of consistent practice. Think of it like fitness: the daily compound effect matters more than any single session.
The research suggests 13 minutes daily works best. But we’re not robots. Do what you can, when you can. Consistency beats perfection every time.
Hip hop. Electronic. Acoustic. R&B. World. Rock. More coming. Every GROOV is originally composed with repeating rhythms and harmonies designed to train your mind. We’re building a library that sounds like your playlist, not a spa.
Yes, we plan to add new GROOVS regularly. We’re just getting started.

The music is 100% human-made, written, performed, and produced by real musicians. We do use AI to help run other parts of the product and business more efficiently, so we can focus more resources on supporting the musicians who make GROOVS sound the way it does.
The goal isn’t a quiet mind. It’s noticing, quickly, when your attention drifts, and gently bringing it back. Every refocus is training the brain.
The skill being built (attention regulation) is the same; the path (rhythmic music vs silence) is different. If silent practice works for you, stick with it. GROOVS is for people who find sitting still harder than focusing on something.
Silence puts the whole burden on you. Music gives your attention a rhythm to anchor to. Engaging enough to keep you with it, simple enough to leave room for the training to happen underneath.
Attention is a skill, not a fixed trait. Studies show measurable changes in focus and mind-wandering with regular practice. It’s like fitness for what you pay attention to.
Not directly. What it builds is faster noticing and gentler refocusing, useful when you’re under pressure. Many people find that translates to feeling more in control. Calm is often a side effect, not the goal.
Breathing mode anchors your attention to the rhythm of your breath, guided by the moving dot. Tapping mode anchors to the rhythm of your finger or foot tapping. Same training, different on-ramp.
Whichever feels less effortful. Breathing is the most common starting point. If you find yourself fighting the breath, switch to tapping.
The single thing you’re paying attention to during a session. In Breathing mode, that’s the sensation of air through your nose. In Tapping mode, it’s the sensation of touch while tapping.
No. That’s the training. Your mind wandering is normal. Noticing it and returning to your point of focus. Wandering more isn’t failing; refocusing is the win.
Eventually, yes — once you’re very familiar with the rhythm. Closing your eyes accelerates training because your mind isn’t distracted by the visuals, so it’s easier to notice when your attention wanders from your point of focus (the physical sensation of your breathing or tapping). Most people get there after multiple practice sessions with eyes open.
If you keep returning your attention when it wanders, you’re doing it right. There’s no perfect session. The practice compounds over time, not within any single session.
