Lofi Engine composes endless lo-fi music live on your device, and lets you step inside it. No playlists, no repeats, no internet needed. Piano, drums and vinyl crackle are generated in real time, so the music never runs out and never sounds the same twice. NINE LIVING SCENES Cozy animated rooms that react to the music. Tap around and things happen: • Attic (free): rain on the window, a purring cat, a flickering lamp • Night Train: sunset fields, tunnels, curtains to draw • Space Station: a galaxy through the porthole, floating tea • Deep Sea: fish scatter at your touch • Snowy Cabin: draw on the frosted glass by the fire • Lighthouse: a sweeping beam, a ringing bell, a telescope • Campfire: toast a marshmallow among fireflies • Rooftop: a breeze through the wind chime and laundry • Late Office: city lights outside your window SHAPE THE SOUND • Mood, key, tempo and seven musical scales • Auto DJ: let the music evolve on its own • Layer ambient sounds: ocean, wind, city, train, rain, thunder, forest, fire and more • Save your favorite settings as presets FOCUS AND REST • Pomodoro focus timer with tasks and weekly stats • Sleep timer with a smooth fade-out • Background playback SHARE • Save or share a picture or video of your scene, with sound All music features are free, and the Attic scene is free. Other scenes are one-time purchases: unlock them one by one, or get Pro for every scene, now and in the future. No subscription, no ads. Works offline.
