Work alone, together.

Cozy Cowork is a calm multiplayer virtual office — a desktop app for people who work better around others. Pick your focus, start a timer, and settle into a shared office, park, or coffee shop, with a compact overlay that tucks beside your real work. No meetings, no camera, no matching — just quiet company and momentum.

The quiet problem

Working alone is flexible, but it can also feel lonely, unstructured, and difficult to stay on track. Video calls are exhausting. Solo timers are just you and a ticking clock. And other apps feel too sterile or too casual to get real work done. You want company, good vibes, and momentum — without a meeting, a performance, or a game taking over your screen.

A calmer way to focus

Cozy enough to enjoy. Professional enough to keep open all day.

Cozy Cowork gives you a real workday — accomplish your goal alongside other people doing the same thing. Pick your focus, start a work or break timer, and drop the compact overlay beside whatever you're actually working on. Wander into the office, the park, or the coffee shop when you need a change of scene.

As you make progress, the world reacts: plant a garden and watch it grow, adopt and befriend the shy office cat, watch the shared tree grow a leaf with your name every time you show up. And your time quietly adds up into insight that's yours alone — where your focus went, signal vs. noise, the hours you can bill. Calm accountability, not surveillance, with a side of plant-watching.

What's inside

Small systems, working together.

A gentle productivity layer that lives beside your real work — not on top of it. Pick what you need today; ignore the rest.

Set what's on your plate.

Up to five focus tasks at a time, more as you finish. Tag them, time them, complete, undo. Your current focus is visible to others as a soft status, not a public score.

Work and break timers.

Quick presets, an "Until…" mode for the hour you're heading toward, a small chime at the end, and a separate timer for the breaks you actually take.

Beside your work, not on top of it.

A compact, always-on-top overlay tucks into a corner, so your tasks and timer stay a glance away while you work in your real apps. No full-screen takeover, no covering what matters.

See your signal vs. noise.

Tag your time, and a private dashboard shows where your day really went — signal vs. noise, the hours you can bill. Insight for you, never a score and never shared. Made for freelancers, founders, nonprofits, and anyone who bills by the hour.

A tree everyone helps grow.

Show up and a leaf appears on the shared tree, with your display name on it. A quiet record of who's been here.

A whole world of small joys.

Plant a garden. Adopt the office cat (or dog). Earn credits at the vending machine. Send a daily kudos. Play foosball. The tiny stuff that makes showing up feel rewarding.

A whole world to settle into

Three places to work — pick your mood.

More than a single screen. Cozy Cowork is a tiny world with three connected spaces. Wander between them as your day unfolds.

The office

Where the work happens.

Big sunny windows, the team's foosball table once you've all pitched in, and an office cat (or dog) sleeping near the heater.

The park

Where the world grows.

Garden beds for seeds you plant, paths to wander, and benches for the in-between. Step out between sessions and the park keeps growing whether you're watching or not.

The tree gains a leaf with your name — every time you show up

The coffee shop

Where the day softens.

Soft chatter, gentle bustle, a cup that's always full. For days when you'd rather be working from somewhere new — without leaving home.

Need a room of your own? Host a private office for your team that preserves between sessions, or spin up a one-time office for an event with guests.

A look at the app

A main window, and a friend that follows along.

The full coworking world when you want it. A compact overlay when you're heads-down somewhere else.

Common questions

A few things people ask.

When can I actually use it?

The app is in active development. The MVP ships with multiplayer presence in the shared world, focus tasks, work and break timers, the always-on-top overlay, the three-room world, the gardening system, the daily-leaf tree, kudos, foosball, the office economy, the signal-vs-noise dashboard, an office cat or dog, and the ability to host private offices. Voice and richer team admin features come post-MVP. Early access invites go out to the waitlist.

What platforms will it run on?

Cozy Cowork is built as a desktop application. We'll share supported platforms closer to early access — we'd rather confirm than promise.

Is this another video meeting app?

No. There's no video, no audio, no calls. You see small pixel-art avatars in a 2D world, with quiet presence and focus indicators. The whole point is to feel near others without the demand to perform.

Will my work be tracked or scored?

Your tasks are yours. The dashboard (signal vs. noise, time per tag, billable hours) is a private view for you — useful if you bill by the hour or want to know where your week went. The leaderboards (foosball, kudos given) and the shared tree are opt-in social touches, not surveillance.

What's body doubling, exactly?

It's the well-known feeling that working alongside someone makes it easier to start, focus, and finish — even if you're not interacting. Many people, including a lot of folks with ADHD, find it genuinely helpful. Cozy Cowork is built around that idea: a shared multiplayer world where you can see other people working, without needing to be on camera or in a call.

Tell me more about the tree.

There's a tall tree in the park. Show up to work, and a new leaf appears with your display name on it. It's a tiny, low-stakes record of who's shown up — yours and your teammates'. Especially nice when their leaves appear next to yours.

Can my small team or community use it together?

Yes. You can host a private office for your regular team that preserves between sessions — your shared store progress, garden, foosball stats, and tree all carry over. For events or one-off get-togethers, you can spin up a one-time office and invite guests in. Richer team admin features come later.

Wait — there's a garden? Foosball? An office cat?

Yes, and a dashboard, and an office economy, and private offices for your team. Cozy Cowork is half cozy game, half quiet productivity tool: earn credits as you focus, plant seeds at the vending machine, watch your garden grow over real days, give one kudos a day, play foosball, and adopt an office cat (or dog, or both, if your office can afford it). The game systems are gentle on purpose — they're there to make showing up feel rewarding, not turn work into a leaderboard race.

How much will it cost?

We haven't set pricing yet. The goal is something solo workers and freelancers can afford comfortably, with early waitlist members getting friendly terms.

Built in public
