## What it is
LoFi Engine is a cross-platform desktop and browser application that procedurally generates LoFi music and ambient soundscapes locally using Tone.js. Built with Svelte, TypeScript, and Tauri, it works fully offline with extensive customization of playback, visuals, and atmosphere.

## Use cases
- generate lofi music offline for studying
- play ambient background sounds like rain or waves while working
- create a customizable lofi studio without an internet connection
- run a private local lofi player on linux mac or windows
- use an auto dj that manages music and atmosphere automatically
- listen to procedural lofi beats in the browser

## When to choose
- you want offline, private, procedurally generated lofi music
- you need a cross-platform desktop app with heavy customization of sound and visuals
- you prefer open-source alternatives to streaming lofi playlists

## When to avoid
- you want to stream curated lofi playlists from specific artists
- you need mobile support, which is still on the roadmap
- you require importing or playing your own music files
