Description
Playorb turns your playlist into your timer. Pick a mood, pick a length from 5 to 60 minutes — Playorb builds a queue that fits your session perfectly, then it’s just you, your orb, and your music. Your music does the counting for you, so you don’t need to keep an eye on the timer. When the music stops, you’re done.
5 moods to choose from, depending on the kind of work: Deep Focus, Creative Flow, Light Work, Late Night, and Workout. Each mood has its own visual theme and gives direction to the music selection.
Collect the orbs. Every completed session earns coins. Coins buy from the 46 available orbs — from a spinning vinyl to a black hole, plus PhotoOrb for using your own picture. Some orbs unlock after a session or two; others are epics worth collecting.
Playorb Pro — $3.99, one payment. Offline Ambient library, playback from your Apple Music, search to build your own list, twice the coins per session, and 3,000 welcome coins.
Playorb Ultimate — $6.99, one payment. Everything Pro has, plus every premium orb unlocked from day one, and PhotoOrb with a different picture per mood.
No subscription. One payment.
