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.

Free

• All built-in scenes with looping art
• Menu-bar popover + full-screen launcher
• Volume, shuffle, favorites, Now Playing integration
• All future scenes & updates included

Pro · $4.99 once

• Ambient mixer (multiple layers: rain, fire, birds, waves, river, white noise)
• Auto-pause when calls or other audio start — uses macOS's per-process audio APIs, so no microphone permission needed
• Global hotkeys (play/pause, swap scene, volume)
• Pinned offline downloads

Native specifics (because this sub cares):

• Universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel)
• MB DMG download

Built with

• SwiftUI, no Electron
• No telemetry, no account, no microphone access

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

Every time I start a new project I lose an hour checking the same name across .com, .dev, GitHub, npm, Instagram, the App Store, etc. — and 60% of those tabs don't actually matter for whatever I'm building.

So I built Brandon. You type a name, pick what kind of brand you're making (dev/SaaS, mobile, consumer, indie creator), and it only checks the platforms that matter for that category.

The probes are tagged in the UI so you know which results to trust. No signup, free, history stays in localStorage — nothing leaves the browser.

> Built with Nuxt 4 + Cloudflare Workers. MIT, open source — adding a new checker is a 2-line diff if I missed your platform.
