README

LoFeline

A pixel cat that naps in your Windows notification area. Click it for lofi beats, click again for silence. Right click for the station list and a volume slider.

The player opens on Lofi 24/7 and also carries a handful of SomaFM channels. Remember to support them!

The menu, with the station list and volume slider

Requirements

Windows 11.

Install

Download the latest setup from Releases and run it.

The cat lands in the notification area. Windows 11 hides new icons in the overflow menu, so click the ^ arrow the first time and drag the cat onto the taskbar to keep it there.

LoFeline is not code signed, so Windows may object the first time. SmartScreen offers More info → Run anyway. Smart App Control, on by default on new Windows 11 machines, may block it outright instead. Building from source avoids that.

Usage

Left click starts and stops playback. Right click opens the menu with the station list, a volume slider, run at startup, and quit.

Stations

Station	Sound
Lofi 24/7	Round-the-clock lofi hiphop beats
Fluid	Instrumental hip-hop, future soul, liquid trap
Groove Salad Classic	The original chilled ambient beats and grooves
Groove Salad	Chilled ambient beats and grooves
Groove Salad 2	More chilled beats and grooves
cliqhop idm	Blips and bleeps backed by beats

Build from source

Needs the .NET 10 SDK.

git clone https://github.com/anttiak/lofeline-windows.git
cd lofeline-windows
dotnet run --project src\LoFeline

Uninstall

Quit from the menu, then remove LoFeline from Settings → Apps → Installed apps. That also clears the run-at-startup entry.

The remembered volume and station are left behind, in case you come back:

Remove-Item -Recurse "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\LoFeline"
