Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Lofi Garden is a normal background music app for macOS. Its behavior is straightforward for its purpose: it plays streamed audio and may use network access while music is playing. If you enable it to start when you sign in, that is an ordinary convenience setting rather than a warning sign. Keep it only if you use it for focus music, and remember that playback depends on an internet connection.
Recommendation: Keep Lofi Garden if you like having instant lo-fi music available from your menu bar. If you do not use it, removing it should only take away its quick playback and any launch-at-login convenience tied to the app.
