Playorb turns your playlist into your timer. Pick a mood, pick a length from 5 to 60 minutes — Playorb builds a queue that fits that session perfectly, and then it's just you, your orb, and your music. Your music keeps count for you, so you don't have to keep an eye on the timer. As soon as the music stops, you're done. Five moods to choose from: Deep Focus, Creative Flow, Light Work, Late Night, and Workout. Playorb fills your time with music that fits the vibe — so you spend the session listening, not staring at a clock. COLLECT THE ORBS Finish a session, earn some coins. Coins buy orbs — the sphere that lives at the center of your session screen. There are 46 to collect, from a spinning vinyl to a black hole, plus PhotoOrb, which holds a photo of your choice. Some orbs are yours after a session or two. Others are epics worth collecting. Keep your streak going, and you'll fill the shelf faster than you think. WHAT YOU GET - Ambient library. Hours of instrumental tracks, ready to play. No account, no login to start. - Session history grouped by month, with your success rate, total focused time, and orb collection progress. - Live Activity. Your session appears on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island so you can glance without unlocking. - Closing moment. Sessions over 20 minutes get a proper end when you make it. PLAYORB PRO — one-time Ambient library offline. Your Apple Music library and playlists, plus search across Apple Music to build your own list, in your order. Twice the coins per session. 3,000 welcome coins to spend on the orbs you want. PLAYORB ULTIMATE — one-time Everything Pro has, plus every premium orb unlocked from day one and PhotoOrb with a different photo per mood. No subscription. One payment. PRIVACY Playorb doesn't collect your music library. Apple Music plays inside Playorb through Apple's MusicKit. Session history lives on your device and syncs across your iCloud if you're signed in.
