A real reason to hit start on the timer.
Every hour you log becomes a creature in a habitat you tend. Leave it open on a second monitor and the year fills up with life.
You already fill in the timesheet. Now it earns you a jellyfish.
How it works
- 1
Connect something that already counts.A timesheet you already keep, the hours you already play, or a line in a script.
- 2
Recorded time becomes toil,the habitat's only currency. If two sources cover the same stretch of time, the overlap is merged, so the same afternoon is never counted twice.
- 3
Toil becomes inhabitants.Fish, a seahorse, a turtle and an octopus in an aquarium. Butterflies, rabbits, a crow and deer in a meadow. Choose each one yourself, or let the habitat save up and surprise you.
It behaves like an idle game, except the idling is work you were doing anyway.
What you can connect
Each one has a page on setting it up, and you can connect as many as you like. An hour seen by two of them is still only an hour.
Timesheets and editors
Anything scriptable
Nothing at all
Two rules worth knowing
Money is not a shortcut.You cannot buy toil or top up your balance; it only comes from time you have recorded. That is what gives a habitat meaning: it grew from time you actually spent.
Living things do not live forever.Animals have a lifespan and eventually die, which is what keeps a habitat something you tend rather than a shelf you fill. Not soon, though: the smallest live about two months, a deer or a turtle most of a year, and an octopus longer than that. Ageing pauses while you are away, so nothing dies for taking a fortnight off.
Sharing
Any habitat can be shared as a read-only link that needs no account. It shows your display name and whatever is currently in the habitat. It updates as things arrive and get moved about. Stop sharing, or issue a new link, and the old one goes dead. It is also how most people arrive.
Every share link comes with a QR code, which is the short way to get a habitat onto a screen that is not the one you work at.An old iPad makes a decent habitat displayif there is one in a drawer.
A shared habitat stays private to whoever has the link unless you say otherwise. If you would rather show it, see the habitats people are showingand add yours with the switch in the share window.
Start now
It is free. Sign up, confirm your email, connect a tracker: about five minutes to your first inhabitant. No code, no waiting list. If someone sent you a habitat link and you enjoyed watching, join from that page and they will receive a little toil for referring you.
