Length
Long tracks of 3 to 5 minutes or longer, often combined into 25-minute blocks for Pomodoro sessions.
Levels and loudness
Keep it quiet and even. Rolled-off highs reduce listening fatigue over long sessions.
Licensing
Paid plans cover publishing study playlists and streams on YouTube or Twitch. The full terms are on the licensing page.
A workflow that works
- Pick lo-fi, ambient or piano as a base
- Generate several tracks with the same tempo and key
- Sequence a 25-minute block
- Add a short chime track for breaks
Avoid strong melodies and vocals. They draw attention away from reading.
Prompts for studying
Lo-fi study beat at 75 BPM, mellow piano, soft drums, no vocals, warm and steady
Ambient focus music, slow pads and gentle piano, no percussion, 10 minutes
Soft classical-style piano for reading, calm and even, no sudden dynamics
