Frequently asked

Is lofi good for ADHD focus?

It helps some people and bores others within 30 minutes. Both are common. If lofi stops working, switch to a game soundtrack, ambient, or one long mix. Read more →

Brown noise or white noise for ADHD?

Neither is proven better. Brown noise is deeper, white noise is hissier. Try both at a low volume for the same task and keep the one you stop noticing. Read more →

How long should a focus session be?

Start with 25 minutes. If you settle in fast, try 50 or 90. The timer on this site only keeps time; music plays on YouTube or Spotify. Try the finder →
