MindSpiralSpirals
Hold one over everything, or let a whole folder rotate through. Five are drawn into the app before you add a single file of your own.
MindSpiral
Goon deeper.
The hypnosis player built for the loop. Your spirals, your clips, your voice, stacked into one wall of trance that runs itself for as long as you last — hands free, or with someone else at the controls.
18+Version · Mac with Apple silicon and Windows
Your collection
Everything you’ve saved. All of it. At once.
Point MindSpiral at your folders and it builds the wall you’ve been faking with a dozen browser tabs — hundreds of files packed edge to edge, cross-fading forever, a spiral turning over the top and your own words coming through it.
Mantras
Your triggers, your words, your language — dropping in, sitting there, fading out at whatever speed empties you fastest.
Voice & undertone
Your files over an ambient bed. Stack a hypno track, a soundscape and a beat, and ride the lot on one master level.
Binaural beats
A steady pulse under the whole thing, as strong or as buried as you want it.
Visions
Every image, gif and video you own, mixed together underneath it all and shuffled so you never quite know what’s next.
Looks
Found the mix that took you all the way under? Save it, and drop straight back into it tomorrow.
Hands free
One switch. Then don’t touch anything.
Auto runs the whole session for you — decks, spiral, words, sound, the beat — building from a gentle start down to as deep as you set it, for half an hour or until you tap out. Both hands stay exactly where they are.
It isn’t a playlist. It’s a director: it reads what you gave it, picks a scene, holds it while it works, then moves. Touch a control mid-session and that one stays yours — it works around you and carries on.

Wake or sleepCome back up, or drift off.
A beat to keep up with
The beat bar puts a pulse on the screen and asks you to match it. It reads what’s playing, climbs as the session climbs, and never quite lets you settle.
Or don’t lift a finger
Connect a Lovense toy, or anything Intiface talks to, and Autopilot drives it off the mix — following the beat, the build and the deck you’re on. You just lie there.
Or write it yourself
Arc Studio is a full timeline: every layer, every effect, laid out over an hour in advance. Build the session you keep chasing, then press play and stop deciding.
The Perception Engine
A sound that climbs for ever and never gets there.
Four illusions your senses can’t argue with: a pitch that rises without end, a world that dissolves while you hold your gaze, things that only move when you look away, and a portal that feeds each eye something different until your mind gives up choosing. Bring them in one at a time, or run them as a sequence.
If you already know what it is to be held just short of somewhere, you know what a Shepard tone does to a room.
Endless pitch
A Shepard–Risset glissando made live, not looped. The sound keeps sinking, or keeps rising, and never arrives. In a headset it can climb through you and circle around you, with a tunnel spiral travelling alongside.
Troxler fading
Rest your eyes on one glowing point and the soft shapes at the edge of your vision simply melt away. Look around, and they come back. Hold still long enough and most of the room goes.
Only when you’re not looking
Shapes in your periphery drift closer, breathe, or circle you — and hold perfectly still the moment you turn to check.
Binocular rivalry
Inside a floating portal, each eye is shown a different picture, and your mind swaps between them on its own. You don’t get a vote. This one needs a headset.
Illusions, not proof. These are perceptual effects: real to your senses, and different for everyone. They don’t measure, or promise, how deep anyone goes. Each has its own switch on the device you’re wearing, recording where you look stays off unless you turn it on, and Return to normal ends every one of them at once.
In a headset
Nowhere to look. Nowhere to go.
Put on a Meta Quest and the wall closes around you — as much of every direction as you want it, the spiral hanging in front of your face, the words floating where you can’t not read them.
Hide the menu with one press and there is nothing left between you and the mix. It stays hidden until you press again — it will never reappear on you halfway through. Pause, and the whole room holds still and waits.

One pressMenu gone. It stays gone.
HeldPause, and everything waits.
Hand it over
Let someone else decide how long you stay there.
Put the headset on and give up the controls. From their computer they choose what you see, what you hear and which words find you — in the next room, or from the other side of the world.
They invite you.
Your partner opens the Room on their computer and sends an invitation to your headset. Nothing reaches you until you answer it.
You say yes.
Accept, and the session is in their hands. Decline, and your headset stays yours alone — no questions asked.
They take you apart.
They run the spirals, the sound, the words and the toy — and can speak to you through the headset, or drop a line straight in front of your eyes.
Near or far
Side by side on the same Wi-Fi, or across the world down a private link behind a pairing code. They send you a short code; you type it in and you’re theirs.
Their voice in your ears
They can talk to you live from their microphone, mixed in under everything else you’re hearing.
They watch you take it
The Live Console shows them your view as you see it. They can drag something into it, see where you’re looking, and change the mix while they watch it land.
Check in without surfacing
Tell them you’re fine, ask for a word, or stop — from inside the headset, without taking it off or saying anything out loud.
Only what you handed over
They get the layers you granted and nothing else. Hand over the spiral and keep the sound, or give them everything — it’s a switch, not a leap of faith.
Toys too — if you said so
A partner can drive your toy, but only once you’ve agreed to it on your own device. Your limits live in your hand, not in their window.
From anywhere
Someone sent you a code?
Anyone running MindSpiral can hand out a short code. Type it in and you land in their waiting room — nothing to install to get that far.
Running one? In MindSpiral’s Share window, open From anywhere and press Open the door — you’ll get a code to send.
Consent built in
Every session starts with a yes.
Giving up control is only good when you know you can take it back. MindSpiral is built so that you always can — and so that nobody has to be trusted for it to be true.
Yes, then anything
Nothing reaches your headset until you accept the invitation. From there they may run your whole session — and your volume, your strobe limit and the way out are still yours.
Your limits stay yours
Volume, flashing light, perception effects and toys are switches on your own device. Nothing your partner sends can go past them, whatever they press.
Stop means stop
Hold both grips, or choose Stop, and everything goes quiet at once. It stays stopped until you say you’re ready — your partner can’t start it again from their side.
Talk first. Agree what you’re both into, what’s off the table, and how you’ll check in — before anyone goes under. The good sessions are the ones you negotiated while you were still thinking straight.
Discreet by design
Nobody sees your folder. Not even us.
MindSpiral plays files that are already on your machine. No account, no sign-in, no upload, no cloud. What’s in your folders stays between you and your folders.
Playing with someone far away? That link is locked behind a pairing code and runs straight between your two computers — and MindSpiral tells you exactly what reaching across the internet means before it opens anything.
Go long, come back easy
The boring bit that keeps it fun.
Adults, and only with a yes
MindSpiral is for consenting adults, 18 or over. Only play with people who have said yes — and who know they can say no, at any point, without explaining themselves.
Somewhere safe
Sit or lie down somewhere clear and comfortable, especially in a headset. Never use MindSpiral while driving, or while doing anything that needs your attention.
Mind your eyes
The strobe is held to a gentle rate by default and can be switched off entirely. Rivalry can tire the eyes, so it stays small and stops on a time limit, and every illusion ends the moment you return to normal.
Long sessions are the whole point, but they’re still long sessions: drink something, move occasionally, and come up for air between them. MindSpiral is for play, not therapy, and it isn’t a substitute for professional care. If something stops feeling good, stop.
