Anthropic, a nearly trillion dollar company, made a lofi stream.

I loved this idea.

They even added /radio mode inside Claude Code, which means you could launch a DJ for you from your terminal.

But then I tried it and realized the official path opens YouTube in a browser.

That is where it started annoying me a little.

For background music, a whole browser tab felt unnecessary.

It is just extra browser usage for something that only needs to make sound.

I am already in the terminal all day.

So if the music IS for building, why is the music not there too?

So I made it

claudefm plays the official Claude FM YouTube stream directly from your terminal.

All inside a clean, minimal CLI app.

The app uses yt-dlp to get the stream, then plays it through mpv or ffplay. The terminal just becomes the small dashboard I wanted in the first place.

Try ClaudeFM here or star the repo here.
