Virtual Cottage is a cozy, distraction-free productivity tool where you commit to a task and work through it surrounded by relaxing lo-fi music, ambient rain, and a cottage that shifts its lighting based on your local time. The genius hook is that you can't stop the timer once you start—it forces you to stay accountable and actually finish what you've been putting off.

The cottage is wherever YOU are


The game automatically syncs with your local time and displays a similar lighting scenario. If you are a night owl, just change your computer clock and the graphics will change as well. ;)
