A pomodoro timer with lofi music — press play, start the clock, stay in flow.

A focus timer and a lofi radio in one tab

Lofi Timer combines the two things a study session actually needs: a reliable pomodoro timer and music that stays out of your way. The player streams original lofi from the Lofi Cat channel — a live rainy-night radio with long sessions through the day and into the night, plus curated 2-hour mixes — so you never have to alt-tab to restart a playlist mid-session.

Everything runs in your browser. No account, no install, no paywall. Your timer presets, tasks, chosen scene and focus stats are saved locally on your device.

How to use it

  1. Pick a station. Choose a 2-hour lofi mood mix — rainy night or morning café — and press play.
  2. Set your timer. Classic 25/5 pomodoro, longer 50/10 deep-work rounds, or your own custom intervals.
  3. Add your tasks. Write down what you're working on so each focus round has a target.
  4. Start. The countdown lives in your tab title, a soft chime marks each break, and the music keeps flowing.

Why the pomodoro technique works

The pomodoro technique breaks work into short, fully-committed sprints — traditionally 25 minutes — separated by 5-minute breaks. The deadline is close enough to keep you honest, and the break is a real reward rather than a guilty scroll. After four rounds you take a longer break and let your brain consolidate.

Lofi music fits this rhythm well: steady tempo, no lyrics competing for the language part of your brain, and enough warmth to make a work session feel like a place instead of a chore. That's why "lofi beats to study to" became a genre of its own.

Made for long sessions

The timer counts with timestamps, not ticks, so it stays accurate even when the tab is in the background. Zen mode strips the screen down to the clock and the scenery for a distraction-free wall clock — great on a second monitor or a TV. And with twelve painted scenes to choose from, you can match the backdrop to the time of day, or to the weather you wish you had.

FAQ

What is a lofi timer?
A focus timer with lofi music built in — a pomodoro clock and a chill instrumental radio in the same tab, so you can start a work session with one click instead of juggling a timer app and a playlist.
Is lofi music good for studying?
For most people, yes: it is instrumental, steady and unobtrusive, so it masks background noise without competing for your attention the way lyrics do. It works best for reading, writing and problem-solving sessions.
Is Lofi Timer free?
Yes — completely free, no account and no ads from us. The music streams from YouTube, so YouTube may show its own ads depending on your region and settings.
What is the pomodoro technique?
A time-management method: work in focused 25-minute sprints separated by 5-minute breaks, with a longer break after four rounds. The name comes from a tomato-shaped kitchen timer ("pomodoro" is Italian for tomato).
Can I change the timer intervals?
Yes. Use the classic 25/5, the deep-work 50/10, or set any custom focus and break length you like.
Does the music stop during breaks?
No — the music keeps playing through breaks. Only the timer switches phases, with a soft chime so you notice without being startled.
Where does the music come from?
From the Lofi Cat YouTube channel, embedded directly in the page as 2-hour mood mixes. Press play once and it streams like any YouTube video — the channel also runs a live radio on YouTube.
