Hello, and welcome to Snoozy Hills.
Whatever brought you here (winding down, settling in to focus, or just needing a quiet moment), I hope this little window of calm helps. Take a slow breath. There's no rush here.
I made this to be gentle, free and ad-free. If it brings you a bit of peace and you'd like to say thanks, a coffee keeps it that way for everyone.

Take care of yourself. ~ Alexander
Lo-fi Background: rainy night, soft violet
A rainy night over rolling hills in soft violet: the village windows lit, the little train steaming along its track, rain drifting through the glow of the lamps. It has the slow, cosy feel of a lo-fi stream, without the loop.
Put your own playlist on and leave this running beside it, or switch on the built-in piano, which is slow and quiet enough to sit under other music.
Making it feel like a stream Keep the time on night and the weather on rain, set Dim to Low, and hide the controls with H. The train, the lit cottages and the drifting rain give the small, repeating movements that make lo-fi scenes relaxing.
If you stream, the page runs at a steady 30 frames per second with low CPU use, so it can sit in a browser source without eating your machine.

Questions
Does it have lo-fi music? Not lo-fi beats, no. It has a soft piano and a flute track, both quiet. Most people run their own lo-fi playlist alongside it.
Can I change the colour? Yes. Deep Blue and Wine both suit the rainy-night look; Orange makes it warmer.
Is it free? Yes. It runs right in your browser: no app, no sign-up and no ads covering the screen.
How do I make it full screen? Press F or the full-screen button. The controls and cursor hide by themselves after a few seconds. Move the mouse to bring them back.
Does it work on a TV, tablet or phone? Yes. Open the page in any modern browser. On a smart TV or a casted screen it makes a calm ambient background for the room.
