Every Google Meet or Huddle call meant alt-tabbing back to my Lofi Girl Youtube tab to pause the video. So I built the native macOS app I wished existed.
Lofi Space is a native menu-bar lofi player with hand-picked scenes (Zen Café, Night Tokyo, Cozy Room, Forest Dawn, Rainbound), each paired with its own animated video loop. The free tier covers everything most people actually need; Pro is a one-time $4.99 unlock for the extras — no subscription.

First public Mac app launch for me — happy to answer anything, take feedback, or hear what features you wish existed!
