Lo-fi music for studying
Lo-fi beats give you just enough to listen to without pulling you away from your work, which is why they are the soundtrack of so many study-with-me sessions. Hit The Hay has nine calm lo-fi tracks, looped seamlessly, plus café, rain and library ambience – and no adverts cutting in mid-revision.

What’s included
- Nine lo-fi tracks – mellow chill-hop, lo-fi jazz and cosy, slow beats, each looped musically so it repeats in time.
- Study ambience – coffee shop, cosy café with soft music, rain, a ticking clock, fireplace, typing, pencil writing and turning pages.
- Noise – brown, pink, grey and green noise for deep focus without music.
Study tips
- Try 25-minute focus blocks with the sleep timer as your countdown – the music fades gently when it is time for a break.
- Mix lo-fi with rain for a cosy study-with-me feel.
- Save everything for offline before a train journey or a library with poor signal.

- Add some ambience. Optionally add rain or a café from Study ambience and set each volume.
- Set a focus timer. Tap the timer and choose 30 or 60 minutes; the music fades when it ends.
