For collegiate athletics

Game-ready minds,
on the field and off it.

VIBE is music built to help athletes perform: lock in before the game, recover faster after it, and sleep and feel their best off the field. Made with NCAA Division I athletes, powered by the Apple Watch they already wear.

What is VIBE

At its core, VIBE is music for performance, confidence, recovery, and more.

VIBE is the AI music coach that fits in your pocket. Real, recognizable, popular songs, with a hidden layer that helps athletes settle into the right gear. Press play and the music does the work: more focus, more energy, faster recovery, better sleep.

Music you know

A licensed catalog of recognizable tracks, not clinical tones, chimes, or white noise. It sounds like the music athletes already love.

Science you don't hear

A subtle, science-backed layer sits under the music. Athletes never notice it. They just feel more dialed in, calmer, or ready to rest.

A state you can feel

Every session takes an athlete from how they feel now to where they want to be, guided by their heart rate, so you can actually see it working.

For your sports-medicine & performance staff

Evidence to stand behind.

The technology inside VIBE has been put through independent, peer-reviewed clinical trials, and shown to calm nerves, lift mood, and help people feel more confident and in control. This is a tool your staff can stand behind.

PLOS ONE · 2022 ↗
↓ anxiety
in a single 24-minute session

Just one 24-minute session of VIBE's music eased both the physical and mental symptoms of nerves, noticeably more than a control group.

Peer-reviewed trial · 163 people · Mallik & Russo
PLOS Mental Health · 2026 ↗
↑ mood
better mood, proven in a trial

The more athletes listened, the calmer they got. A clear dose-response, with the biggest drop in nerves at 36 minutes.

Peer-reviewed trial · 144 people · Mullen et al.
Cortisol & EEG · 2026
↓ cortisol
measured in the body, not just self-report

Athletes' stress hormone (cortisol) dropped measurably more than a control group. The body actually settling down, confirmed by brain-activity readings.

How VIBE works

Real music on top. Neuroscience underneath.

Athletes just hear the music they already love: real artists, real tracks. Underneath, VIBE adds a subtle layer they'll never notice, but their body responds to. Think of it as invisible coaching, delivered through songs they'd play anyway.

Two patented technologies make it work: one gently guides the body toward the right state, and the other learns what works for each athlete, getting smarter every session.

What you hear

Music you actually know

A huge catalog of recognizable, popular tracks, sequenced to meet athletes where they are and move them where they want to go.

What's happening underneath

A hidden sound layer

A subtle layer woven into music athletes recognize gently guides them toward the right gear, whether that's energy, focus, calm, or sleep, without anything sounding clinical.

Personalized to each athlete

Smarter every session

VIBE learns which music moves each athlete best and fine-tunes every session, so it works better the more they use it.

The athlete's full load

Performance doesn't stop at the final whistle.

Student-athletes carry training load, competition pressure, academics, and the mental weight of all of it at once. They need a tool that meets them where they're at, whether that's on the field or off of it.

Activation

Pre-competition activation

Getting locked in before tip-off, without scrolling for the right song while your head's already in your phone.

Recovery

Training-load stress

High-volume blocks demand real parasympathetic recovery, not just rest. VIBE guides the nervous system down.

Wellbeing

Sleep & off-field life

Sleep quality and mood drive everything that happens in season, and everything that happens after it.

A mode for every moment

The athlete's day has modes. So does VIBE.

Each mode blends music athletes love with a hidden layer that nudges them into the right headspace for what's next, reading their heart rate live from Apple Watch or a quick camera check-in.

BoostBeta waves18–30 Hz
pre-game · workout · activation

Gets athletes fired up and dialed in: quicker reactions, sharper focus, game-ready energy. Made for the 20 minutes before tip-off.

FocusAlpha waves8–12 Hz
film review · study · skill work

Calm, locked-in concentration for film, class, and skill work. Fewer distractions, faster into the zone.

DownshiftTheta waves4–8 Hz
recovery · stress relief · wind-down

Helps the body come down and recover after hard training. Calmer nerves and less stress, backed by a 16% drop in anxiety in clinical trials.

SleepDelta waves1–4 Hz
fall asleep · stay asleep · deep rest

Wind-down and overnight sound that helps athletes fall asleep faster, sleep deeper, and recover overnight.

Inside a session

Four steps, from how you feel to how you want to feel.

Every VIBE session takes an athlete from how they feel to how they want to feel, backed by peer-reviewed research and built for the demands of elite sport.

Tell VIBE how you feel right now

The athlete taps how they're feeling right now and picks the music they're into. VIBE takes it from there.

The music adjusts to the body in real time

As the athlete listens, VIBE reads their heart rate from Apple Watch (or a quick camera check-in) and adjusts the music in real time to keep them on track.
