Tune your research environment. Everything saves locally, because we genuinely do not want your data โ€” we wouldn't know what to do with it.

Your alibi screen

The screen the Boss Alert deploys when someone approaches. Choose the one that best fits your cover story.

The Spreadsheetโœ“

For office workers

A quarterly forecast, mid-formula. The universal symbol of someone who is definitely busy.

The Essayโœ“

For students

A reflective essay, draft three, cursor blinking. Looks like deadlines being met.

The Newsโœ“

For everyone else

A sober business article. Plausible deniability for the perpetually distracted.

Test your cover

Deploys the alibi now. Press Esc to come back.

Preferences

Small dials for the discerning researcher.

Panic shortcut
Trigger the Boss Alert with Ctrl+Space, anywhere on the site.
Sound effects
Subtle, office-appropriate. Won't blow your cover.
Fun mode
Off. The site speaks plainly. Turn this on for the "totally counts as research" voice.

Ambient cat

A small cat wanders between game cards on the home page, minding its own business. It sits, walks, and disappears for a while before turning up somewhere else. Totally optional. Highly endorsed.

Show cat
Roaming. May or may not be on screen right now.
