NO AGENT WORKING, NO Tokens.

Need something to play with while waiting the slow AI agents?

Bowls Above is an always-on-top idle sim powered by the work you were already doing. Choose an AI coding agent—or another program—and watch that activity become a steady rain of pachinko balls.

The tokens ricochet through the cabinet, finish worker assignments, and knock loose the bowls that drive the company. Your machine works while you work. When you stop, it waits.

A TINY COMPANY ABOVE YOUR DESKTOP

Run Bowls Above as a transparent, draggable desktop companion beside your code. It can detect Claude Code, Codex, a custom running app.

Detection happens locally. Your code, prompts, filenames, and program names are not uploaded.

CLIMB THE VERY NORMAL CORPORATE LADDER

Tokens hit workers. Workers drop bowls. Bowls permanently fill your next PERK. Sounds familiar?

Hire new employees, promote them and turn them into company gears.

TURN THE BOARD INTO A MACHINE

Drag Gears onto pins. Combine matching Gears to level them up. Build strange, satisfying machine.

Each tracked program keeps its own workforce, board, Gears, PERKS, milestones, and stats. Switching tools feels like opening another branch office.

BUILD MOMENTUM. BRIEFLY BECOME EFFICIENT.

Play passively while you work, or check in to resolve banked PERKS, arrange Gears, combine upgrades.

• Work-powered pachinko — activity makes the tokens; real money never does.

• Always-on-top desktop companion — transparent, draggable, resizable, and built to live beside your work.

• Persistent progression — workers, ranks, bowls, PERKS, Policies, Buffs, milestones, and Gears.

• Per-program companies — keep separate branches for different agents or apps.

Clock in. Set the machine beside your work. Try not to ask where all the bowls are going.
