FAQ

focus.music is real music engineered to help you concentrate. Tell it what you're working on, start a session, and it plays music designed to help you settle in and stay there - for deep work, creative work, or everyday tasks.

Research shows we're wired to pay attention to the human voice, which is exactly what you don't want while you're trying to work, so there are no vocals on any channel. The one exception that proves the rule is Haiku Robot, an experimental channel that layers 20 years of EDM influences under a Japanese poet reading 16th-century haiku.

It's the intelligence around the music. The more you use focus.music, the more it learns - the channels that hold your attention, the times of day you focus best - and tunes future sessions to you.
