Jayan is a generative lo-fi radio station that plays in real time on your device. Choose a scene, press Play, and settle into warm chords, relaxed rhythms, and ambient textures. Six stations offer different musical moods: late-night jazz, tape study, rainy keys, dusty beats, bossa, and ambient night.

Open the Sound Studio to adjust mood, warmth, swing, melodic space, rain, instrument colors, and the mix. Share a recipe to restore the same generated session on another device. Background playback and lock-screen controls keep your music close when the app is out of view. Highlights - Six distinct illustrated stations with locally generated music - Developing melodies, varied bass and drum phrases, and balanced output - Local saved sessions and a cancelable sleep timer - Reliable pause/resume, background audio, and lock-screen controls - Sound Studio, recipe sharing, and playback diagnostics - Native iPhone and iPad layouts with English and Simplified Chinese support No account or fixed streaming playlist is required.
