A study timer with built-in lofi — one tab for the clock and the soundtrack.

The clock and the soundtrack in one tab

The usual study setup is a timer app in one tab, a music playlist in another, and a to-do list somewhere else. Every time one of them needs attention, you leave all three. Lofi Timer folds them into a single page: a pomodoro clock, a real YouTube lofi radio, and a task list side by side.

The countdown shows in the tab title, so even buried behind your notes it's one glance away. A soft chime — not an alarm — marks each break.

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.

Music that helps you study instead of distracting you

Lyrics compete with reading and writing for the same part of your brain — that's why instrumental music works better for studying. Lofi in particular keeps a steady, unhurried tempo with warm textures (rain, vinyl crackle, soft keys) that mask distracting background noise without demanding attention themselves.

The stations here are original lofi from the Lofi Cat channel: a live rainy radio on air through the day and into the night, and 2-hour mixes that conveniently match a four-round pomodoro block.

Track your streak

Each completed focus round adds to today's minutes, and studying on consecutive days builds a streak — a small, honest scoreboard kept on your own device. No accounts, no leaderboards, just you against yesterday.

FAQ

Is music good or bad for studying?
Instrumental music at a steady, moderate tempo generally helps by masking distracting noise; music with lyrics tends to interfere with reading and writing. Lofi is popular for studying precisely because it is instrumental, slow and unobtrusive.
How long should a study session be?
A classic pomodoro is 25 minutes of focus and a 5-minute break. If you find yourself in flow at 25, try the 50/10 preset — longer sprints, longer break.
Can I use my own task list?
There is a built-in to-do list saved on your device. Write tasks down before you start — a focus round works best with a single clear target.
Does the timer keep counting if I switch tabs?
Yes. It counts with timestamps rather than ticks, so background-tab throttling never makes it drift. The remaining time also shows in the tab title.
What is a "study with me" timer?
A shared-session style of studying popularized on YouTube: you study alongside a timer (often with lofi music) as if in a virtual library. This page gives you the same setup — timer, music and task list — without needing a video call.
