音楽タイマー is a music timer for Apple Music that randomly plays music that fits the exact amount of time you set. It works for quick timers like 1, 3, or 5 minutes, and it is built for longer focus or work sessions too. 音楽タイマー selects song candidates whose duration matches your timer, and for longer sessions it combines multiple tracks to create a playback plan that fits your time as closely as possible. Use it for studying, deep work, breaks, stretching, workouts, chores, Pomodoro sessions, or a short wind-down before a nap. Instead of a plain countdown, 音楽タイマー lets you start a timed session with music made to land right on time. Tracks are randomly selected from Apple Music catalog candidates, so the same timer can feel different every time. Save songs you like, block tracks that do not fit, and tune the experience with genre preferences and filters. Key features: - Select and play Apple Music songs that match your selected time - Combine multiple songs for longer timers - Save favorites, block tracks, and keep playback history on your device - Adjust selection with genres and filters - Continue as a timer even when no matching song is available - No account required Playing Apple Music catalog songs requires an Apple Music subscription. iOS will ask for Apple Music access the first time playback is needed. Song availability may vary by country or region and may change on Apple Music. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
