Why a menu-bar game?

The menu bar keeps the game close to the work without asking you to open another dashboard. Start a run, choose a runner, set an estimate, and make a call; the full dashboard remains available for onboarding, history, achievements, and settings.

The timer is a record of the task you are already waiting on. It does not inspect the build, read your repository, or claim to know what the machine is doing.

The manual loop

Manual tracking works for any task: an AI agent run, Xcode build, test suite, export, or a task you simply want to time. Pick one of six deterministic outcomes, then finish the run with the facts you observed.

Every finished run earns 25 Goblin XP. A correct prediction adds a fixed 75 XP bonus. XP is earn-only: it cannot be bought, spent, transferred, redeemed, or exchanged.

Small features that stay out of the way

The app includes keyboard commands for starting and cancelling runs, optional completion overlays, sounds, haptics, and launch-at-login. Settings also lets you replay onboarding, clear run history, or reset game progress while preserving preferences and purchases.
