Rainy nights, cafés and coastlines each come with music to match. Focove pairs its video scenes with different preset Apple Music playlists, so you can enjoy music alongside each scene’s ambient sound while you work, study, or read. FIND YOUR SETTING Choose a video scene: rainy night, café, coast, stream, train, or fireplace. Let the view and its sounds accompany your session, whether you're writing a few pages or working through your reading list. ADD MUSIC TO THE SCENE Browse songs, albums, playlists and downloaded music from your music library without leaving Focove. Tap to play, or choose a scene's Apple Music playlist, which rotates daily, and listen alongside its ambient sounds. Choose Repeat All, Shuffle or Repeat Song, and adjust music and ambient sound volumes separately. Access to your music library requires your permission. Playback depends on the track's source, download status and access rights. Apple Music scene playlists require an active Apple Music subscription, which is not included in Pro. MAKE TIME YOUR WAY Use Pomodoro for a rhythm of work and breaks, a countdown when you have a set amount of time, or a stopwatch when you'd rather begin and see how long you go. SEE WHERE YOUR TIME WENT · Pro Add tags to your sessions to organize them by activity. Look back through your timeline and statistics to see the time you've spent studying, working, reading, or on your own projects. Custom tags and access to your personal statistics and timeline require Pro. Some Focove features require a purchase.
