Brown FM shortcuts for bedtime and work

Start with Siri

Say “Play Brown FM” or “Pause Brown FM.” To change the timer, say “Set a sleep timer in Brown FM” and provide the duration when asked. “Cancel the Brown FM timer” returns playback to an endless session.

Open Brown FM and complete purchase access first. Siri and Shortcuts do not bypass the app’s access requirements. For a saved sound, save it in the app’s Sound panel before selecting it in a shortcut.

A bedtime shortcut

1. Open Shortcuts, create a shortcut, and name it Bedtime Brown.
2. Search the actions for Configure Brown FM Fade. Set Fade In to 10 seconds and Fade Out to 5 minutes.
3. Add Play Brown FM. Choose Deep Brown (or your saved sound) and set Sleep Timer to 45 minutes.
4. Run the shortcut and check Brown FM’s player for the selected sound and countdown.

The duration is an example, not a recommended amount of sleep sound. Change it to match your routine. Fade settings are saved preferences, so the next session can inherit them too.

A work shortcut

1. Create another shortcut named Work Brown.
2. Add Configure Brown FM Fade, with Fade In 5 seconds and Fade Out Off, if you want a clear end to the session.
3. Add Play Brown FM, choose the saved sound you use at your desk, and set Sleep Timer to 25 minutes.
4. Run it when you begin a work block. Brown FM’s timer controls audio playback; it is not a break alarm.

Leaving the timer field empty uses the current timer instead of guaranteeing endless playback. To make an endless routine explicit, add Cancel Brown FM Sleep Timer before Play Brown FM and leave Play’s Sleep Timer field empty.

Set exact sound values

Add Adjust Brown FM Sound when you want a reproducible combination. Depth and Texture accept −1 through +1; Space accepts 0 through 1, and Movement is on or off. Zero Depth and Texture, zero Space, and Movement off reproduce the Deep Brown control position.

Place the adjustment after any action that selects a preset, because choosing a preset restores its saved control values.

If an action doesn’t appear

Open Brown FM once, then search for “Brown FM” in Shortcuts again. Make sure the app is installed on that iPhone. If an action reports that access is needed, open Brown FM and check your purchase or restore it. For help, see the FAQ.
