Everything it does
All of it is live today — no waiting list, no setup call.
Twelve genres, one tap
Lo-Fi Jazz, Deep Focus, Cinematic, Classical, Island Time, Pop and more. Switch the mood in a second; the shuffle won't repeat a track until it has played the rest.
Trivia and messages
Curated facts for your type of business, and your own notes on screen between tracks — specials, hours, Wi-Fi, whatever the room should know.
Speech privacy, built in
Switch on speech masking and a soft, shaped layer sits under the music, so conversation nearby stops being easy to make out. It hides words rather than adding volume — the room doesn't get louder.
On every screen you own
The web player installs nothing. Native apps cover iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch, and the music comes along in CarPlay.
Opens and closes with you
Set a play time and a pause time and the music keeps your hours on its own. Nobody has to remember to press play at 8am.
Hands free
“Hey Siri, play Deep Focus on SoftWork Beats.” Every control is also a Siri phrase and a Shortcuts action on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
One room or twenty
Add a seat per room and each plays on its own — front desk, waiting room, treatment rooms, back office.
Original music, no ads
Every track is ours: instrumental, no vocals to talk over, no ad breaks, and new albums land every week.
Speaks your team's language
The whole app — not just the buttons — in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Japanese, Hindi, and Chinese.
Your words on the screen
Leave the player up on a lobby TV or a spare monitor and it turns into a screen people actually read. Between tracks it shows light trivia chosen for your kind of space — plus anything you write yourself.
Try the trivia pickerA screen worth looking at
Leave it alone and the player drifts into a full-bleed idle screen: album art, slow-moving light tuned to the genre, and visuals that breathe with the music. Not a black rectangle, and not your logo on a loop.
What the license covers
Playing SoftWork Beats through our app — free or paid — includes a public performance license for your place of business: lobby, waiting room, treatment rooms, and more. No per-song royalty paperwork. Consumer streaming apps don't allow this.
Read the full public performance licenseWhy not Spotify?
Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube are licensed for personal use only. Playing them in your business isn't covered and can put you at risk. SoftWork Beats is licensed specifically for public, commercial playback in spaces like yours.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a license to play music in a café?
Playing music publicly in a café generally requires a public performance license, and cafés are commonly contacted by performance-rights organizations. Playing SoftWork Beats through our app includes that license for your place of business.
Can I run it from behind the counter?
Yes. It plays from any phone, tablet, or computer into your existing speakers, and the daily schedule can start and stop it with your opening hours.
Will it suit both the morning rush and the evening?
Yes. Lo-Fi Jazz and Acoustic Mornings suit the morning; Chill Electronic sits well later on. Switch any time, or use the daily schedule to change it automatically.
