The first phase-driven music engine built specifically for hypnosis sessions
While your client is sinking into trance,
you want to be there with them. Not in Spotify.
Hypnotika TranceDeck takes the music mechanics out of your head. Press a phase button — the music switches gently. You speak — the music dips, automatically. Session ends — the recording is in your folder, ready to share with your client.
So you can focus on what matters: hypnosis.

Which kind of hypnosis pro do you want to be?
There are two ways to handle music in a hypnosis session today.
The old way
- You scan the Spotify tab while your client is sinking into trance
- ~€80/month spent across three streaming services — none of which quite do what you need
- Hard crossfades, abrupt track endings, your client surfaces back into the room
- Voice over music never balanced — either too loud or too quiet
- Session recording? Either unusable or never made in the first place
- Licensing question always nagging in the back of your head, never resolved
- You leave the session exhausted — not from the therapy, from the technology
The modern way
- Press a phase button — one second, then fully back with your client
- Music switches gently, at the right moment, with smooth crossfade
- You speak — music dips, automatically. You pause — music returns
- Session recording sits cleanly in your folder — ready to share with the client as a takeaway
- Pay once (from €99), no subscription, runs offline
- Client data stays on your machine — GDPR-compliant by design
- You leave the session fully present, fully focused on the work
Which kind do you want to be?
First on the market
What didn't exist before Hypnotika TranceDeck.
▸ Phase-driven workflow concept
The only music software that thinks like a hypnosis pro: in phases, not in tracks. Intro · Middle · Peak · Outro — one click. DJ software is built for clubs. Spotify is built for playlists. Hypnotika is built for hypnosis sessions.
▸ Mic-ducking + session recording in one tool
No other hypnosis software on the market combines automatic microphone ducking (voice dimming music in real time, detected by a local AI model) with live session recording (mix of music + voice as MP3) in one workflow. Otherwise you'd need a DAW + a streaming tool + Audacity = three tools for what Hypnotika does in one.
▸ AI on your machine — not in the cloud
Hypnotika uses two specialised AI models for audio processing: speech detection for microphone ducking and voice cleanup for recording quality. Both run fully offline on your computer — not at OpenAI, not at Google, not at Anthropic. Client voice, breathing, trance responses never leave your hard drive. Cloud AI is unacceptable for hypnosis practice — on-device AI is.
▸ Smart Crossfade — transitions that think along
Instead of a fixed seconds duration, Hypnotika computes the crossfade duration dynamically from the properties of the two tracks and the current session phase:
- BPM difference — same tempo values allow shorter fades (beats match cleanly). Large differences are merged via longer fades.
- Key match (Camelot) — harmonically compatible tracks may transition faster. Dissonant transitions get smoother long fades.
- Phase context — climax punchier, outro clearly gentler, intro→middle with deepening reserve.
- Track characteristics — loudness and energy planned for a future iteration.
Manual override remains available but is not recommended: a fixed value cannot account for BPM, key, or phase. Smart Crossfade is on by default.
▸ Clear pricing in a market full of subscriptions
Spotify Premium €11.99/month = €143.88/year. Adobe Audition €23.99/month = €287.88/year. Hypnotika comes without subscription traps — Yearly €99 (12 months), Lifetime €149 (forever), Practice €199-249 for 3 devices. No auto-renewal, no monthly reminders, no price hikes.
▸ GDPR-compliant offline-first
Client recordings, music library, license data — everything stays on your machine. No cloud, no server, no data transfer. In a profession where confidentiality and sensitive data are the standard, cloud-first software is simply not usable for many. Hypnotika thinks ahead.
▸ Stream Deck integration for hypnosis workflow
Hardware buttons instead of screen-switching. To our knowledge, Hypnotika is the first hypnosis-specific software with Elgato Stream Deck support — phase changes via physical button press, without your client noticing you're doing anything.
▸ Built by a practising hypnosis coach
Susanne has worked as a hypnosis coach in Berlin for six years and built the tool for her own work with clients — not a software vendor who knows the problem only theoretically. Made in Berlin. Made by a practitioner. Every feature has a real session background.
▸ Voice quality enhancement — included as a bonus
Even without a pro microphone, your recording sounds close to studio quality: auto voice compression for consistent loudness, AI-powered background noise filter (local model, runs offline) against air conditioning and keyboard, plus optional reverb in 3 rooms (living room, studio, cathedral). Clients hear a warm, intimate voice — whatever hardware you have. Replaces an Audacity post-processing step entirely.
We don't claim to save the world. We claim: what comes together in this single tool, hasn't existed in a single tool before.
Sound familiar?
Four moments where you wished you were somewhere else.
Mid-deepening
You're guiding your client deeper — and Spotify shows an ad block. Or the track ends abruptly with a click. Three seconds of silence. Your client surfaces.
Four tools side by side — and still not what you need
Spotify Premium €11.99. Calm €5.83. Adobe Audition €23.99. DJ software €9.99. Together ~€52/month = ~€620/year — and you're still doing the transitions by hand, with no phase logic, no automatic mic-ducking.
Crossfades that aren't really crossfades
Spotify's crossfade is 1-2 seconds, hard. Audacity can do it, but only when prepared in advance — not live during the session. What you actually need — gentle 8-second transitions in the moment your client is going deeper — exists in no consumer tool.
Voice over music — never balanced
When you speak, the music is too loud. You turn it down manually. Forget to turn it back up. Next time you speak — the music drowns you out, you're back at the slider. Recordings come out unusable.
Imagine instead
A session where you only do hypnosis.
The music switches on its own — at the right moment, with a soft transition. Your voice sits naturally over the music, no fader to touch. The recording is in your folder when the session ends. You were fully present the entire time — with your client, not with the technology.
The game-changer 9 out of 10 local practitioners aren't using
Give your client more than a session.
Imagine: after every session, your client walks home with the MP3. With your voice. With the music. With the suggestion. Ready to listen again — at home, between sessions, whenever they need it.
That's not just a nice extra. That's a differentiation asset that sets you apart from 9 out of 10 local practitioners. Clients refer you to friends — because they walked away with something concrete. They book follow-up sessions because the audio between sessions is doing the work.
Hypnotika records the session cleanly — music and voice perfectly mixed. You don't have to do anything. The file lands in your recording folder, ready to send (with your client's consent — we provide a consent form template).

Business angle
With clear USPs, you can charge higher fees.
Hypnosis coaches who work with clear differentiation — session recording as takeaway, personal sound anchors, own curated music library — are perceived differently. Clients feel the professional difference. Local competitors using Spotify and without recording capability cannot communicate comparable value.
Concretely: Anyone using the Hypnotika workflow can package their offer differently — not „1 session = X €" but „1 session + MP3 takeaway + personal sound anchor = X+Y €". Add-on value like this creates room for higher fees.
More on this on the blog: Hypnosis Pricing with USPs (publishing Mon 1 June 2026).
What you're already paying every month
Hypnotika TranceDeck Lifetime = pay once, instead of years of subscriptions.
Therapists typically burn €500-700/year on streaming and tool subscriptions. With Hypnotika Lifetime you pay €149 once — and keep it for life.
| Tool (typical stack) | Per month | Per year |
|---|---|---|
| Spotify Premium | €11.99 | €143.88 |
| Calm Premium (background music) | €5.83 | €69.99 |
| Adobe Audition (for clean recording) | €23.99 | €287.88 |
| DJ software (Serato Pro etc., for crossfades) | €9.99 | €119.88 |
| Total (typical tool stack) | ~€52/month | ~€620/year |
| Hypnotika TranceDeck Lifetime | — | €149 once |
Hypnotika doesn't replace every one of these services — but it replaces the Spotify-stress during sessions, the manual Audacity mixing, and the missing recording feature. What you'd spend on a single one of these subscriptions in 12 months, you invest in Hypnotika just once.
What the software does without you noticing
The magic behind it.
Phase buttons for your session
Intro, Middle, Peak, Outro. One click — the software picks the track that fits best from your pool. No playlist, no scrolling.
Microphone ducking — voice over music
The software notices when you speak and dips the music exactly then. When you stop, it brings the music back up. Voice sits naturally — every recording is clean.
Session as MP3 — client takeaway
Music and voice saved together as one file. With consent, you can share it with your client — they listen again at home as deepening of the session.
Stream Deck & foot pedals
If you have an Elgato Stream Deck or a foot pedal, you can trigger phases with it — no need to touch the keyboard. Hardware buttons, no screen-switching.
3 sound triggers for anchor technique
Three additional buttons in the cockpit fire a short sound — over the running music. Perfect for classical anchor technique: a singing-bowl tone, a bell, a bird call become trance anchors that clients can re-activate any time. Mic-ducking is deliberately disabled — the anchor must be clearly audible.
Music matched automatically
Hypnotika measures pitch and tempo on import and picks tracks so transitions feel natural. Crossfades happen automatically — you don't have to fade by hand.
Soft fade-out, not a hard stop
Hit spacebar at the end of the session — the music gently fades to silence. No abrupt cut. Recording closes cleanly.
Runs completely offline
No cloud, no account, no internet needed. All your music and recordings stay on your machine. GDPR-compliant by design — even if Wi-Fi dies, your session keeps running.
Online sessions over Zoom
With a small free helper (VB-Cable) you pipe the music directly into Zoom, Google Meet or Teams. No echo, no audio quality issues. Step-by-step guide included.
Every session sounds individual
To your client, it feels as if the music was composed just for them. In reality, the software pulls live from your own pool — no two sessions sound the same.
Who built this
A hypnosis coach building the tool she wished she had.
Susanne has practised as a hypnosis coach in Berlin for six years — many know her by her artist name Sue (SuePrise), under which she performs as a hypnotist and musician. She knows the Spotify-clicking mid-trance, the subscription stack, the abrupt track endings — all from her own session room. Hypnotika TranceDeck is the tool she wished she had back then.
Dual background: Susanne is not only a hypnosis coach but also a musician and music producer. She has composed for artists including Markus („Ich will Spaß“), produced TV music for appearances by Jeannette Biedermann and Merit Larsen, and led her own girl rock band. Exactly this combination — solid trance practice plus a studio ear for sound, transitions and mix — flows into every detail decision in Hypnotika.
She builds it together with her team in Berlin. Made in Germany. Offline-first. GDPR-aware. Not a software vendor who knows the problem only theoretically — a practitioner forging her own tool.
Hypnotika is built deliberately for coaching and therapy sessions: calm, quiet, free of distraction — but musically clean enough that your clients will think someone put the session together just for them.

Frequent questions
Everything you want to know.
Licenses & packages
What's the difference between Lifetime and Practice License?
Both are unlimited (one-time payment, no subscription). The only difference: Lifetime runs on 1 device, Practice License runs on 3 devices in parallel. If you only have one practice PC, Lifetime is perfect. If you work across multiple devices (practice PC + laptop for online sessions + home office), Practice License is the right choice.
When does Yearly make sense over Lifetime?
Rarely. Yearly costs €99 for 12 months, Lifetime costs only €50 more (€149) for unlimited use. Yearly makes sense if you're not sure the tool fits your workflow — but for that we have the 14-day money-back guarantee, which removes that risk entirely.
What happens after the introductory price period?
The Practice License rises from €199 to €249 on 1 September 2026. Yearly (€99) and Lifetime (€149) remain unchanged. Anyone who buys by 31 August 2026 secures €50 in savings.
14-day money-back guarantee — how does that work?
Email us within 14 days of purchase — we refund the price, no questions asked. You keep the software during the guarantee period, can test it, try it with clients. If it doesn't fit your style, no drama.
Device swap — how does that work practically?
In the Lemon Squeezy customer portal, you can deactivate any license slot yourself and activate it on a new device. With Practice License you have 3 slots, so changing devices often is no problem. No support ticket needed.
Session recordings & clients
Can I share the recordings with my clients?
Yes — and that's actually one of the most valuable features. With documented consent from your clients, you can share each session as an MP3. Clients walk away with something concrete, listen back to suggestions between sessions. We provide a consent form template.
Can I upload my session recordings to YouTube?
Finally yes — and this is one of our game-changers. The music tracks shipping with Hypnotika are fully royalty-free (CC0 / Royalty-Free) and cleared for publication on YouTube, Instagram, podcasts and websites — including monetised use. Until now, hypnotherapists had to avoid every YouTube demo because of unclear Spotify / collection-society rights. With Hypnotika that's solved: you can publish self-hypnosis scripts, teaching demos, marketing clips or full practice sessions freely and use the bundled music — no strikes, no royalty questions, no nervous feeling in your stomach.
About your own responsibility: Recordings with real client voices are subject to confidentiality obligations and GDPR — responsibility for consent, anonymisation and lawful publication rests with you as the practitioner. We provide the tools (the software, royalty-free music, consent form template) — legal compliance for your client content remains your task. Hypnotika TranceDeck assumes no liability for the GDPR-compliant publication of your client recordings.
Is the bundled music actually free to use?
Yes. The starter tracks shipping with Hypnotika are royalty-free (CC0 / Creative Commons Zero) and you can use them in paid hypnosis sessions, in client takeaways (recordings), and for your own YouTube/social media content — without licensing fees, without royalty payments. Source: individually CC0-verified tracks from Freesound + original compositions by our team. If you also import your own music, the licensing terms of the respective source apply.
What about music licensing — do I need anything?
For the bundled royalty-free music: nothing. For your own music from Spotify, Apple Music, etc.: these streaming services are licensed only for "private playback" — not for commercial use in paid sessions. Strictly speaking, you'd need a licensing arrangement with your local Performance Rights Organisation (ASCAP/BMI in the US, PRS in the UK, APRA AMCOS in Australia, GEMA in Germany etc.) for your practice. Our public performance rights guide covers the international landscape.
Does Hypnotika store my client data anywhere online?
No. The app stores everything locally on your machine. No cloud, no server, no transfer. Recordings, music library, license data — everything stays with you. GDPR-compliant by design. Even if your internet goes down, your session keeps running.
Tool comparison
How is Hypnotika different from Spotify or Audacity?
Spotify plays tracks — no live crossfade, no mic ducking, no recording, no phase logic, and strictly speaking not licensed for commercial use. Audacity is an audio editor — works only when prepared in advance, not live during the session. Hypnotika is built explicitly for live sessions: phase buttons, automatic mixing, gentle real-time transitions. Plus you pay once instead of monthly.
Can Hypnotika replace DJ software like Rekordbox or Serato?
The other way around: Hypnotika is NOT a DJ tool for clubs. Rekordbox and Serato can do much more (beat loops, effects, remixing), but they're overkill for therapy sessions and unsuited from a workflow perspective. Hypnotika is built specifically for the hypnosis practice — phases instead of tracks, mic-ducking instead of EQ effects, recording instead of live performance tools.
Is it worth it compared to my current Spotify + Audacity setup?
Spotify Premium costs €143.88/year, Audacity is free but can't mix live, and an audio recording tool like Adobe Audition costs another €287/year. The Spotify replacement alone amortises Hypnotika Lifetime in 12 months — and you get phase logic, mic-ducking and recording on top, none of which exist in your current stack.
Technical questions
Do I need a musical background?
No. The software measures everything itself — you only decide which piece fits which phase (calm? activating? peak? winding down?). From there it's automatic. Our music guide explains which tempos fit which part of a session.
Where do I get suitable music?
We ship royalty-free starter tracks with the app so you can begin right away. You can also import your own — MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A. Our music sources guide points to free and paid platforms suited to hypnosis sessions.
Does it work with Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet for online sessions?
Yes. You use a small free helper called VB-Cable to route the music into Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. Our illustrated VB-Cable guide walks you through the setup in about five minutes — no technical background needed.
What hardware do I need?
A Windows PC (Win 10 or 11), 4-8 GB RAM, a normal sound card or USB audio device. That's it. Microphone is optional — only if you want to record. Stream Deck and foot pedal are optional. Installation is a single double-click — no administrator rights, with an automatic desktop shortcut.
Does it run on Mac?
Currently Windows 10 and 11 only. A Mac version is in preparation (Q3 2026). If you're on Mac and want to help test it: sign up for the Mac tester list.
Method & application
Does Hypnotika fit my hypnosis style?
Probably yes. The tool is method-neutral: it doesn't force you into anything, doesn't dictate scripts, doesn't favour any "right" hypnosis school. It only provides the music mechanics you're using anyway — without the stress. Whether you work Erickson-oriented, classically directive, NLP-aligned or hypnoanalytically: phase changes + smooth transitions + mic ducking are workflow elements every approach uses.
Is Hypnotika suitable for Yoga Nidra or HypnoBirthing?
Yes, very well. The phase workflow translates 1:1 — see our Yoga Nidra page and our HypnoBirthing page. You can name the phase buttons freely (Sankalpa / Body Scan / Visualization / Integration for Yoga Nidra; Preparation / Breathing / Visualization / Welcoming for HypnoBirthing).
Is Hypnotika suitable for NLP / EMDR / Wingwave coaching?
Yes. Mental coaches, NLP practitioners, EMDR therapists and Wingwave coaches use trance elements and phase-based session structures. The tool isn't limited to "hypnosis in the narrow sense" — it's a workflow tool for any kind of guided trance facilitation.
Stop searching when you should be present.
