lofi

A soundtrack that follows your session. A Claude Code mod.

▶ Watch with sound (30 s)

The mod's own tracks, sequenced the way a session drives them.

calm while Claude is idle, focus while it works, flow when it's editing hard (3 edits inside a minute); a chime when a test command passes, a low note when it fails, a chord when a long turn finishes, then silence after a few idle minutes. Off until /lofi on.

Every sound is original, synthesised from scratch by scripts/make_audio.py (Rhodes-style 9th chords, warm bass, swung drums, vinyl crackle), so there is nothing to license. Rerun it to make your own.

Commands and settings

  • /lofi on, /lofi off, /lofi vol 0-100, /lofi status
  • Settings: volume (default 30), minutes of calm after a turn (default 3)

What it touches

Its own audio files, played through the system player (afplay on macOS).

Install

Claude Code 2.1.287 or newer runs mods out of the box. On 2.1.273 to 2.1.286, start it with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 first.

claude plugin marketplace add saksham10arora-dotcom/claude-lofi
claude plugin install lofi@nerfsaksham-lofi

Every option has a default, so the installer's "userConfig options not yet set" note is safe to ignore.

Or try it without installing:

git clone https://github.com/saksham10arora-dotcom/claude-lofi && claude --plugin-dir claude-lofi
