Lofi Rain is a lofi player built around one idea: you shouldn’t have to DJ your own focus session. Press play and lofirain automatically builds a session from original lofi tracks, selected for the companion you’re listening with. No playlists to manage, no browsing rabbit hole, no decisions to make. Just start listening and settle in. BUILD YOUR SOUNDSCAPE Layer ambient sound over the music to create the room you wish you were in: - Rain — neon window drizzle, midnight downpour, vinyl-crackle rain - Fire — cozy campfire, dusty embers - Nature — birdsong, a sleepy creek - Urban — late-night city, a lively café A TIMER THAT KEEPS YOU HONEST Set a 15, 30, or 60 minute session and let the music carry you through it. When the timer ends, playback winds down so you can work, study, or fall asleep without leaving sound running all night. WATCH YOUR FOCUS ADD UP lofirain quietly counts your completed sessions and shows a weekly listening summary. No streak guilt. No gamification. Just a record that you showed up. MADE TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY - No ads - Download tracks for offline listening - Keep listening while using other apps - A calm, scenic interface that feels good left open on your desk Whether you’re writing late at night, studying, working, or winding down with rain, lofirain gives you the right sound for the moment—with none of the fiddling.

Scrap paper, not a filing system. Scrap Paper Pro is one page. It opens where you left off, at the bottom, with the keyboard already up. There are no notebooks, no folders, no titles, no tags, and nothing to name. You write the thing down and get on with your day. ONE PAGE, EVERYWHERE • One canvas. Everything you jot lands on the same page, in order. Nothing to file, nothing to lose. • Always at the bottom. The app opens with the cursor where you stopped writing. • Syncs privately. Your page follows you across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch through your own iCloud account. • Capture without opening it. A Home Screen widget shows your latest lines and drops you into the canvas. A Lock Screen widget starts dictation in one tap. Siri takes a thought hands-free. • Apple Watch. Dictate a line from your wrist and it appears on the page. • Swipe to undo. A horizontal swipe undoes and redoes by thought, not by character. • Two typefaces, three appearances, one size slider. That is the entire settings screen. TURN NOTES INTO ACTIONS On devices with Apple Intelligence, tap Scan for Actions and your page is read on-device to find the things you meant to do: • "coffee with Sam Thursday at 10" becomes a Calendar event at the right time • "add a reminder to get toilet paper" becomes a reminder that says get toilet paper • "text Sam that I'm going to be home late" opens Messages to the right person with the message already written • "buy printer ink from amazon" opens Amazon searching for it • Addresses open in Maps, links open in Safari, numbers dial You choose which suggestions to keep, and nothing happens until you say so. Anything already handled stops being suggested next time. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. Parsing runs entirely on your device — your writing is never uploaded to anyone, including me. Your notes live in your own private iCloud. Contacts, Calendar, and Reminders are touched only in response to an action you tap. One purchase, no subscription. Write the thing down and get on with your day.
