The problem
Focus Apps
Problem
Loops that wear out the listener
A focus app plays for hours, but a licensed library gives you a few dozen tracks. Users hear the same loop by day two, start noticing it, and the music that was meant to fade out of attention pulls them out of their work.
With Mubert
Realtime generative streams run continuously across 150+ moods and themes, so a session never has to replay a track. Intensity can shift while the stream plays, matching the user's pace.
Problem
Silence when users switch modes
Users move from deep work to a break to a timed sprint, and fixed audio files can't follow. Hard cuts or awkward crossfades between tracks break concentration right when the app is supposed to protect it.
With Mubert
WebRTC streaming with sub-second latency lets your app change intensity mid-stream when a timer flips or a break starts. For fixed sessions, generate tracks from 15 seconds to 25 minutes to match the timer.
Problem
One-size playlists and licensing for many users
Focus preferences vary a lot: some people want rain and drones, others want steady beats at a certain BPM. A single playlist fits few of them, and tracking licenses across a growing user base becomes its own project.
With Mubert
Your backend creates a customer for each user, with its own customer-id and access-token, and their usage counts against your license. Likes and dislikes can personalize their music. Check the pricing page for sub-licensing terms.

How it fits your product
Focus apps need music that stays out of the way. Aim for ambient or lo-fi textures with soft pads, light piano or muted guitar, and no sharp drums or vocals that pull attention off the task. Keep tempo slow and steady, with little change in volume or melody. Loops must be hard to notice, so long tracks or an endless stream beat a short repeating clip.
For a timer or session app, use the realtime stream. Your backend creates a customer for each user through the API, gets a customer-id and access-token, and the app connects over WebRTC when a session starts. You can raise or lower intensity while the stream plays, for example when a break begins. Pre-generated library tracks work for offline fallback.

FAQ
Focus Apps
What kind of music helps users concentrate in a focus app?
Slow, steady music with few changes tends to work best: ambient, lo-fi or soft piano with no vocals. Mubert can generate tracks from a text prompt, BPM, genre and mood, or stream realtime music from 150+ moods and themes, so you can match the sound to your app's sessions.
Can users in my focus app train the music to their taste?
Yes. Like and dislike feedback can personalize the music, so each user hears more of what suits them over time. Your backend creates a customer for every user with a customer-id and access-token, and their usage counts against your license.
