MyBiz: Pomodoro Desk Tycoon

MyBiz — A Cozy Office, Run on Pomodoros

Build the most charming office on the block while you actually get work done. MyBiz is a desktop companion that turns your real focus sessions into in-game progress — every keystroke, every click, every Pomodoro funds a tiny pixel-art business that grows alongside your day.

How it works

Start a 25-minute Pomodoro and the office comes alive. Your typing fills a Keys bar, your clicks fill a Clicks bar, your music fills a Music bar — hit thresholds, earn cash and XP, level up, hire staff, expand to new floors. Take a break and the timer mode swaps to short or long break automatically. Skip out early? You still get prorated rewards.

Key features

• Pomodoro that pays you back — 25/5/15 cycles tracked across the day, with cash and XP rewards calibrated so a single focused session feels meaningful.

• Build a working office — buy desks, chairs, plants, lamps, recreation. Each piece of decor boosts staff output. Renovate floors (1F → 2F → 3F+), swap walls, doors, stairs, flooring.

• Hire a team — staff sit at their desks and add passive bonus rewards to every Pomodoro you run. Each one costs a daily salary though, so growing your office means balancing payroll against output. Watch them work while you work.

• Keep them happy — every staffer has a personal mood bar that slowly decays. Music, fresh decor, and shared coin grabs lift it back up. Happier teams output more — and play better at the foosball table on breaks

• Customize your character — hair, hat, top, bottom, shoes — earned or bought, swap anytime.

Tools that help you focus

• Music player — built-in playlist across Pop, R&B, Lo-fi, Jazz, Classic, Bossa, Funk. Auto-advance through the queue, loop the playlist, drop in your own tracks.

• Ambience mixer — rain, forest, ocean, fireplace, wind, whatever puts you in the zone. Layer multiple sounds with individual volumes; resumes automatically next time you launch.

• Quick tools — sticky notes, to-do list, clipboard history, whiteboard scratchpad — all one click away.

Cozy minigames for breaks

When you need to step away from work without leaving the app: play chess against a built-in AI, beat your office in foosball or flappy bird, jam on a guitar rhythm game, watch fish swim and feed the aquarium, or just doodle on the whiteboard.

Compact mode + monitor dock

Switch to the always-on-top mini window when you need the screen. Or attach the full window to the left or right edge of your monitor as a permanent productivity sidebar — your office, your timer, your stats, always glanceable.

Themes you unlock by working

Earn cash through Pomodoros and unlock 10 themes — solid palettes (Midnight Office, Forest Den, Cherry Blossom), gradient skies (Sunset Lobby, Ocean Tide, Aurora Borealis), and texture finishes (Paper Notebook, Wood Workshop, Marble Lounge). The whole UI re-skins instantly — buttons, backdrops, the office sky behind your sprites, even the mini window.
