Best for lofi radio streams to work or study to

Lofi Girl is a set of live lofi music streams, including a Study With Me stream, watched on YouTube. It is a music channel and not a timer, the Lofi Desk web player is a beta, and its pages state no price.

Who Lofi Girl is for

  • Fits if you want background music while you work
  • Works for people who follow a Study With Me stream as a timer

Who Lofi Girl is not for

  • Skip it if you want a timer you can set, because the Pomodoro element is a stream
  • Not for you if you decline YouTube cookies; the Lofi Desk page reports needing them accepted
  • Watch out: Lofi Desk is labelled a beta
  • Watch out: its pages state no prices or plans, so pricing is unverified

Why Lofi Girl gets a 2.2

Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.

  • CValue for moneyThe pages we read state no prices or plans, so there is nothing to grade against.
  • BFree plan and trialListed as free, with the streams watched on YouTube. No paid plan or trial appears on its pages.
  • DFeaturesLive lofi streams, a Study With Me Pomodoro stream, a sleep stream and the Lofi Desk player. The Pomodoro part is a stream you watch, not a tool you control.
  • BEase of useNo store rating on record. Open a stream and press play; there is nothing to set up.
  • CPlatforms and integrationsWeb, through YouTube and the Lofi Desk page. No app of its own and no integrations.

Keep Lofi Girl, or make your own?

Keep it

Lofi Girl is free, so making your own would save you nothing.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 61 of the 83 other focus apps grade higher.

What you could make

  • Pomodoro timer: an app builder makes this well.

What you could not

  • A library of sound you would have to license.

What this rests on. Lofi Girl’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
