Your AI finished. Get nudged.
Then take a recess.
Stop staring at the terminal waiting for Claude Code or Codex. A pet tells you when it's your turn, and every so often a mini game tells you to stand up.
Nudge
Connects to Claude Code and Codex in one click. When a turn ends, a pet brings you the news, and it knows the difference between “done”, “needs you” and “hit a snag”.
- 8 petsRocket, toucan, octopus, kingfisher, a spider that drops from the top, and birds that fly the card across your screen.
- Reads the roomCelebrates passing tests and deploys, nudges when there's a question, frowns at a failed build.
- PoliteStays quiet while you're already watching that terminal tab. Never steals your keyboard.

- LightweightA tiny native menu-bar app. No account, no cloud, no tracking.
Recess
Every 30 minutes (or whenever you like) a mini game takes over the screen for half a minute. Ants and mosquitoes roam across all your displays.
Grey and red ants pour in from the edges. Point the cricket bat and press Space to squash.
Hold Space to power the electric bat. Real zapper crackle, whining fly-bys in stereo.
Rats pop out of holes. Aim the water gun and hold Space to soak them before they escape.
Two players, one keyboard: A vs L. Mash to push, hold to charge a SUPER RAM. Or play the computer.
- Break timerEvery 15–60 minutes, skip one, or take a break right now from the menu bar.
- Pick your gamesChoose which games join the rotation. Esc always gets you out.
- Kid-approvedHippo Fight is the household favourite. Be warned.
