Find your focus in a cozy multiplayer world. lofi.town combines real-time coworking with the warmth of a cozy game - pick a spot, listen to our live lofi radio, and get things done with real people around you. Between sessions, explore the world and everything it has to offer, from fishing by the pier to go-karts in our race track. It's the productivity space that actually makes you want to come back. Come visit lofi.town!
We've been building lofi.town for over a year now. What started as a little lofi music app turned into something bigger - a virtual third space where people show up every day to work, study, and just hang out together.
The idea came from a simple problem: body doubling works. Having someone next to you while you focus genuinely helps you stay on track. Every app doing it was either paywalled or put you on a video call with strangers, which felt like too much. We wanted something more like your local coffee shop - no camera, no pressure, just knowing other people are locked in around you.
So we built a free multiplayer world where you pick a spot, turn on the lofi radio, and focus alongside real people. We've got customizable Pomodoro timers, ambient sounds, habit tracking. It's all built in and all free. We don't paywall any core feature and never plan to!
Between sessions you can fish off the pier, decorate your burrow, or just hang out with the community. That's what keeps people coming back. We also have users who've been logging in daily for over a year. it's become their spot.
If you want a place to sit down and get things done with good people around you, come check it out! There's always a spot for you :)
p.s. if you're a UX designer, we'd love feedback on our productivity panel. Don't hesitate to reach out :D
Very cool. I used to use gather.town but this seems much more full featured. Have you considered using the Open Audio Protocol (openaudio.org) as a source for licensed lofi music?
Feels like a great first experience, what have you found keeps users engaged beyond the first few weeks?
I was a very early user of lofi.town, and I am STILL using it regularly. The community is growing, but the vibes are still carefully maintained by the team. The updates and new features the team is constantly working to introduce to the community have been amazing!
I started using the app as I was studying for the MCAT. I needed to stay accountable while studying for this massive exam. Being on lofi.town made me feel like I was studying with other people, and honestly, and productivity improved. Months later after taking the MCAT, I’m starting medical school, and I’m 100% sure I’ll be using lofi.town even more now that I’ll constantly be hitting the books!!
I don’t use ALL the features of lofi.town (burrows, etc.), but I think that is what makes the app so approachable and usable for everyone! Whether you’re using it for productivity, socializing, gaming, or listening to music, lofi.town’s vibes are immaculate!
This past few months I've been experiencing a lot of academic changes, finishing and starting new stages in my career, including the need of creating a whole new routine that I can actually stick to and help me thrive and get a job. In the middle of all of those changes, I reached Lofi town. I thought of giving it a try, the indie game aethetic gave me a cozy feeling of those games I used to play as a child, but with the addition of task managment tools that help me as an adult. The thing is not only it helped me a lot with all of the above (specially with body doubling), but also got me in a community that basically shape the app as something new and different; the "third space" in the description definitely makes a ton of sense. I work from home, which sometimes can feel a bit lonely, but is the community in lofi town (and the involvement of the team with said community, listening and learning from them on what the app needs) that pushes me to work a bit harder and feel seen at the same time. I hope to stick around for a long long time and I'd love to see more apps and tools made by you guys;) I never get tired of telling you; great job!
Been using lofi town for a couple months, and it has been a game changer for me. Especially with recent additions being added to see stats and track daily habits. As someone with ADHD and Autism, it has given me a sage space to keep up with my work and keep it feeling rewarding while helping me build good daily habits.
Body doubling with actual people has been such a game changer. And you never feel forced to talk to anyone, you just can if you want to. The mini games are also cute, fun, and not hard to do. They are also completely optional. This is very worth it!
The idea of focusing alongside real people without the pressure of a video call is something I really get - it's the digital version of studying in a library.
I've been building SelfOS - a minimalist life planner (tasks, habits, goals) with a similar philosophy: no pressure, no guilt, just gentle support. Even added a little bonsai tree that grows with your streaks 🌳 Totally different angle but same energy.
Curious do your users who come for the focus sessions also engage with the habit tracking? Or is it mostly the coworking vibe that keeps them coming back?
This honestly feels like my kind of space: cozy, a bit playful, but still about actually getting things done. I already opened it and can totally see myself working there with lofi in the background. Also had a phase of making lofi music myself, so part of me is like… I could’ve been on your radio
We actually launched our own product on Product Hunt yesterday, so we really feel the launch day nerves — sending you lots of support. Congrats, this is a beautiful concept ✨
