Repeat futures and add quiet pauses
You can replay a whole board, stay on one future, or repeat each future a set number of times.
You can replay a whole board, stay on one future, or repeat each future a set number of times.
A board is a group of futures. A future is one statement. Reps means repetitions: how many times the same future plays before the next one.
Repeat a future or board
- Open the full player.
- Tap the repeat-arrows button near the bottom left.
- In Loop Options, choose a mode.
- Tap Done.
| Mode | Result |
|---|---|
| Off | Play through the board once |
| One | Keep replaying the current future |
| All | Restart the board after its last future |
Off turns off the repeating of the whole board. Your Reps per Future choice still applies.
You can also change Repeat in the mini player's three-dot menu under Playback Options.
Reps
- Open Loop Options.
- Choose Off or All.
- Use the minus or plus control under Reps per Future.
- Tap Done.
For example, choose 3 reps to play the first future three times, then the second three times, and so on.
Free access allows up to 2 reps per future. Futurecast+ allows higher counts, up to 100. Choosing a paid option can open an upgrade offer.
The reps control is unavailable in One mode because that future already repeats without an end.
Quiet pauses
Reflect adds a quiet pause after spoken futures. This gives you time to sit with the words before listening again.
- In the full player, tap the hourglass.
- In Reflect, scroll to the pause length you want.
- Choose where the pause should happen under Pause after each.
- Tap Done.
Free access includes pauses up to 5 seconds. Futurecast+ includes longer choices, up to 5 minutes. Choose Off to remove these pauses.
You can also open Reflect from the mini player's Playback Options.
Set and +Rep
These two labels decide where a pause belongs when a future repeats:
- Set: play all the repetitions of one future, then pause.
- +Rep: pause after every repetition of that future.
For example, with 3 reps and a 5-second pause:
- Set: hear the same future three times, then pause for 5 seconds.
- +Rep: hear it once, pause for 5 seconds, and repeat that pattern three times.
Long pauses with many reps can make a session much longer.
Skip one pause
Tap the current future while its reflection pause is running. This ends that pause and moves playback on.
This does not change your saved pause setting.
