Help & Guides

Short, practical guides for playing SoftWork Beats in your business — from the first press of play to whole-building sound.

Getting started — Press play in your space in under a minute — no sign-up needed.
Signing in without passwords — Email codes, passkeys, and pairing your TVs — one account on every screen.

Playing from a computer — Use the web player in any browser — or install it like an app — and let it run all day.
Using the iPhone and iPad app — Play anywhere, with AirPlay, Siri, CarPlay, and the Apple Watch along for the ride.
Using the Apple TV app — Turn a lobby TV into an all-day music, art, and trivia display.
Playing on a TV with an iPhone or iPad — An HDMI adapter puts the big-screen display on any TV — no Apple TV needed.
Using the Roku app — Add the channel, pair it with your account, and play on any Roku TV or player.
Kiosk screens and signage players — Point a display at one URL, pair it with a QR code, and run it from your phone.

Getting the music to your speakers — Bluetooth, AirPlay, aux cables, TVs, and installed speaker systems — every path.
Manage your players — See every screen and speaker on your account, name each after its room, and play, pause, or retune any — or all — from one place.
Scheduling play and pause — Match your business hours: the music starts and stops itself, every day.
Speech masking — Make nearby conversation harder to overhear, without making the room louder.
Automating with Apple Shortcuts — Siri phrases, time-of-day automations, and a different genre for every part of the day.
On-screen trivia — Friendly facts for your screens — tailor them to your space or write your own.
Designing a screen — Lay out a menu, an offer, or your logo — and choose when each part appears.
Connecting Claude — Add SoftWork Beats to Claude, then ask it about your subscription, your players, and the trivia on your screens.
