Lofi Station
Your music and your work, in one room.
— A unified workspace for deep focus —
Three tools, one screen
A pomodoro timer, task management, and a BGM mixer on a single screen. Decide, sink in, and start — without switching tabs.
If there's nothing to switch between, switching can't break your focus.
Is this how your work time melts away?
Your timer, to-dos, and BGM live in different apps
Every tab switch breaks your focus. By the time you're back, you're reconstructing what you were even doing.
You go looking for BGM and end up watching videos
You opened it for background music — then came the recommendations and shorts. And when the track ends, you go picking again.
You sit down without deciding what gets how much time
With no plan for what to do or for how long, even starting feels heavy.
Timeboxing
Slice a task into pomodoro sessions
Assign each task the number of pomodoros it gets. Decide “this document is two sessions” before you begin. Timeboxing — fixing the time first and fitting the work inside it — turned directly into the controls.
This is more than three tools placed side by side: tasks and time are structurally connected.
You fix the time first and fit the task inside it — you work the box you set, not until it is done.
What it does
Pomodoro timer
Durations are customizable. 25/5 if you like — or 90-minute sessions.
Task management (3 levels)
Line up today's tasks and start the timer straight from them.
BGM mixer (3 layers)
Blend music, nature sounds, and ambience yourself. Alpha- and gamma-band sounds are available too.
Records and stats
Your focused time, completed tasks, and streak are kept. Next time, you resume from the same room.
Music produced in-house
Lofi and jazz, plus hip hop and UK Garage added in July 2026. More arrives at least once a year.
A screen you can sink into
Scenery and anime-style artwork drift by. A room set apart from the everyday, built for work.
Inside the App
Why not just play your favorite songs?
We don't think the music itself is what matters.
What this app needs is sound that keeps distraction away. The moment listening to your favorite songs becomes the main event, it is a long way from focus.
What we need is sound that stays out of the way of thinking — and we need a lot of it. So we set up to produce it in-house.
Why we built it
When I started working remotely as an engineer, I couldn't focus at all. I kept catching myself on social media.
A pomodoro timer, music, a to-do list — each lived in its own app. Open YouTube for background music and you drift into another video. When a track ends, you go picking again.
I just wanted it all in one place. Unified apps existed, but they were mostly paid, not to my taste, and not adjustable enough.
So I built it.
What we deliberately left out
What it doesn't do has reasons too. Stated upfront.
Auto-advancing pomodoros
The switch between work and break doesn't happen on its own. We want your attention back on the timer — starting the next round with your own hands.
Offline use
A connection is required. Tracks can't be downloaded or played offline.
Taking the music or artwork with you
The rights to the music and illustrations belong to their creators. No downloads, no reuse.
Integrations with other tools
No Todoist or Notion sync. Tasks live — and end — in here.
Ads
None, ever. Selling focus while planting things that break it would make no sense.
What goes in and what stays out is decided by three principles. Those criteria, and the list of things we refuse to do, are published.

Do alpha or gamma wave sounds improve focus?
Within what we have reviewed, we have not found established evidence for the effect — so Lofi Station makes no claims about alpha or gamma waves. That said, alpha- and gamma-band sounds are available as a feature you can choose. Sound preferences and how sound feels vary from person to person, and we think having the choice is valuable in itself.
What is the pomodoro technique?
A time-management method that alternates work and breaks in fixed slices. “25 minutes on, 5 off” is the best-known pattern, but Lofi Station lets you set any durations you like.
Is it free?
Right now, every feature is free to use. There are no ads either.
Does it work on a smartphone?
It runs in mobile browsers. A smartphone app that works even more comfortably is in the works.
Does it work offline?
No. Playing the audio requires a connection.
Is my work recorded?
Your focused time, completed tasks, and streak are recorded.
Just open your browser
Try it without signing up. Right now, every feature is free to use.
