Quick start: Hit play on any section below and get into flow. We curated lo-fi, piano, ambient, and nature-sound mixes that work for reading, coding, exam prep, and creative work.
Lo-Fi Beats (No Vocals)
Soft drums + warm synths. Great for long study sessions and writing.
Minimal Piano for Reading
Sparse melodies reduce cognitive load and keep your pace steady.
Ambient & Atmospheric
Long evolving pads and textures for deep concentration and coding.

Pro Tips to Stay in Flow
- Choose instrumental first. Lyrics compete with working memory.
- Match tempo to task. Reading = slower; coding/design = medium.
- Use blocks. 50–90 minutes on, 10–15 off. Change playlist each block.
- Lower the volume. If you notice the music, it’s too loud.
- Repeat what works. Save your best tracks to a personal playlist.
