beMusicTimer
Favorite Songs as Timer
Free
Turn your Apple Music library into a timer: an automatically calculated song sequence.
Sometimes all you need is quiet and a timer that reminds you when the time's up. But sometimes you don't want to bridge that time in silence – you want to hear your favorite songs!
beMusicTimer turns your own Apple Music library into a timer: instead of a beep or a clock, you hear an automatically assembled song sequence whose total length matches your target duration as closely as possible.
SONG SEQUENCE INSTEAD OF A STOPWATCH
Enter a target duration – choose from common time spans (5 to 120 minutes) or set your own, up to 8 hours. beMusicTimer randomly assembles a song sequence from your library that comes as close as possible to this duration, within an adjustable tolerance.
YOUR EXISTING PLAYLISTS
Use your entire library or narrow the selection down to one of your existing playlists. beMusicTimer only reads them – it never creates or changes playlists. A duplicate filter ensures by default that no song appears twice in the same sequence.
FIXED END SONG
Optionally set a fixed song that ends every timer – its length is subtracted from the target duration in advance, so the total length still adds up.
SAVE AND EDIT TIMER LISTS
Once calculated, song sequences can be saved permanently, renamed, edited individually (swap, add, remove, or reorder songs), or completely reshuffled – and started again at any time without recalculating.
WIDGET AND LIVE ACTIVITY
Start a saved timer list with one tap from the Home Screen (iPhone, iPad) or the desktop (Mac) – or put together a new timer in a few steps with the plus: choose a playlist, set the duration, start. While a timer is running, the widget and – on iPhone – the Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island show the current song and the remaining time, with buttons to pause and stop.
CARPLAY
In the car, start your saved timer lists right in CarPlay, see the remaining time, and pause or stop playback. Put together new timers beforehand on your iPhone.
FOUR LANGUAGES
The app, the widget and the access notice come in German, English, French and Spanish. You can change the app language in Settings at any time.
NO DATA COLLECTION
beMusicTimer collects no data on its own infrastructure. No account or sign-in is required – only access to your Apple Music library. In Settings you can delete all saved timer lists with one tap whenever you like.
beMusicTimer only requires your Apple Music library to work. No additional costs from buying songs within this app.
