The problem
Ambient Home Apps
Problem
Loops that grate after an hour
A smart speaker, sleep app, or wall display plays in a room all day. A short looped track starts to nag within an hour, and people mute it or switch off the feature entirely.
With Mubert
Mubert streams generative music in realtime, so the audio does not repeat like a fixed loop. Pick from 150+ moods and themes, such as focus, rest, or dinner, and the stream runs as long as the room needs it.
Problem
Mood can't follow the room
Home apps run across a day: morning routines, cooking, a quiet evening, bedtime. A fixed playlist cannot respond when someone dims the lights or starts a workout, so the sound feels wrong for the moment.
With Mubert
Intensity can change while the stream plays, over WebRTC with sub-second latency. Your app can shift the music when a scene changes, and the library also filters by mood, activity, or BPM.
Problem
Licensing every household separately
Thousands of homes means thousands of listeners. Clearing tracks one by one, or tracking who played what on whose account, turns into paperwork your small team does not have time for.
With Mubert
Your backend creates a customer for each user, with its own customer-id and access-token, and that usage counts against your license. Check the plan table on the pricing page for sub-licensing terms.

Ambient Home Apps
How it fits your product
Home apps play music for hours in a living room, so the sound has to stay out of the way. Choose slow tempos, soft pads, felt piano and light texture, with no sharp attacks or vocals that compete with a voice assistant or a conversation. Keep dynamics flat, avoid obvious loops, and favor long or endless playback so nothing restarts mid-evening.
For a smart home app, use Stream mode so the room sound runs continuously and you can raise or lower intensity when a scene changes, such as dinner to wind-down. Your backend creates a customer for each household, which returns a customer-id and access-token for that person's playback. Use the library for quick presets, and like/dislike feedback to tune each home.

FAQ
Ambient Home Apps
What kind of music works best for a smart home or ambient home app?
Slow, low-energy music with soft pads, light piano or guitar, and no vocals works best, because it sits under voices, notifications and conversation. Mubert API can stream this in realtime from 150+ moods and themes, with intensity adjustable while the stream plays.
How do I give each household its own music in my app?
Your backend creates a customer for each user through the Mubert API, which returns a customer-id and access-token. That person's playback uses those credentials, and their usage counts against your license. Like and dislike feedback can then personalize the music for each household over time.
