Lo-fi music to study to

Pupmodoro's records are seamless lo-fi loops made for focus: warm neo-soul, late-night jazz hop and underwater bossa nova, with no lyrics and no sudden drops.

Rooftop Set and Night Ferry are free. Earn biscuits by focusing to unlock more.

A lo-fi Pomodoro timer

Every lo-fi record here plays under the timer, so this page is also a lo-fi timer: put on Rooftop Set, start a 25 minute Pomodoro and the loop runs until you stop it. The record keeps playing when the round ends, so pause it when you take your break.

Video game study music

Pixel Snacks is lo-fi chiptune, Farm Morning is cozy farm-game folk and Island Hours is sunny island-town music: the kind of soundtrack that makes a long session feel like a slow, friendly game. Tap them in the record crate for a preview; the full loops are in the Pupmodoro app.

Japanese lo-fi and city pop

Moss Garden pairs koto and shakuhachi with a soft lo-fi beat, and Spin Cycle is 80s city pop. Both have previews here and play in full in the app.

How it works

Pick 10, 25, 50 or 60 minutes (or tap the minutes and type any length up to 2 hours), then press Start. The pup settles in to sleep.

Keep this tab open while you work. If you are away for more than 10 seconds the pup wakes for a peek; the timer keeps counting, but the round earns one biscuit fewer.

When the round ends the pup stretches and you earn dog biscuits: 1 for 10+ minutes, 2 for 25+, 3 for 50+. The jar holds up to 99.

Records

Records are seamless loops you can play under your focus. Rooftop Set and Night Ferry are free, and two more can be unlocked on the web with 4 biscuits each. The rest, from math rock and cool jazz to deep house and Ethio-jazz, have previews here and live in the app.

The green Nature mix record plays ten looping nature sounds you can blend with sliders: rain, waves, campfire, thunder, crickets, snowy wind, café, turning pages, a pool and deep space.

On iPhone, Apple Watch and Android

The Pupmodoro apps add a Lock Screen Live Activity and Dynamic Island countdown, a gentle chime when a round ends, every record and every scene, outfits for your pup, a weekly and monthly journal, focus rounds from Apple Watch, and sync across devices. They are a subscription with a 7-day free trial; the web version stays free.

Sleep log

Every round lands in the Sleep log: today's rounds on a little timeline, and this week as crayon bars with the biscuits you earned each day.

Questions

Is Pupmodoro free?

The web version is free with no sign-up. The iPhone/iPad app (with Apple Watch) and the Android app are a subscription with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan: $29.99 a year, $4.99 a month, or a one-time $49.99.

Does the timer keep running if I switch tabs?

Yes. The countdown never pauses. Being away for more than 10 seconds only wakes the pup and costs the round one biscuit.

Do I need an account?

No. Your biscuits, records and sleep log are saved in your browser. Sign in with Google only if you want them on your other devices and in the app.
