Do I need headphones?
Yes, for the binaural beat: each ear needs its own tone. Any wired or wireless headphones work. Through a speaker you still get the voice, the ambient sound and the relaxation, just not the beat.
When should I listen?
Wherever you can safely close your eyes for 10-15 minutes, ideally at the same time each day. Never while driving or doing anything that needs your attention. Most people pick the morning, a midday break or the evening; you set this during onboarding and can change it in Settings.
Can I listen in bed, or fall asleep?
The Sleep topic is designed for it: its tone glides down and never brings you back up. Other topics end by waking you gently, so they are better sitting or lying down during the day. If you fall asleep in one, that's fine; replay it another time to get credit for the day.
What counts as completing a session?
Listening through at least 80% of the audio. You can pause and resume. The next session unlocks at 04:00 your time the following morning.
I missed a day. Is my protocol ruined?
No. Your next session is waiting for you. A level completes with 24 of 30 sessions listened to, so you have room for six missed days.
Will it play with my phone locked?
Yes. Start playback, then lock the screen; lock-screen controls let you pause and resume. On iPhone, add Gateway Manifest to your home screen for the most reliable experience, and to receive reminders.
Can I listen offline?
With a subscription, open a session and tap "Offline" while connected. Saved sessions play without a network.
Can I change the voice or the background?
In the player, tap Mix to change the balance of voice, ambient sound and tone, and choose rain, pad, pink noise or forest. Voice choice (female or male) is part of the membership, in Settings.
Can this replace professional help?
No. Gateway Manifest is guided audio for relaxation, focus and mental rehearsal. It is not a substitute for professional care. If you're struggling, please speak with a professional. In Lithuania you can call Vilties linija on 116 123, any time.
How is my data used?
Your first name and goal are used to write your sessions, and the audio contains them, so we handle both as personal data. You can export or delete everything from Settings. Details are in the privacy policy.
