Twenty classics, from the moving goalpost to the meeting about the meeting. It's boss bingo, and the grid keeps score of what keeps happening.

Every boss has a move only they pull. Name it, write your comeback, and it joins the grid, encrypted like everything else.

Fair questions.
Is it really free?
Yes. No accounts, no ads, no paid tier, no upsell. The code is MIT-licensed.
Can my employer see it?
The app makes no network requests and keeps history encrypted on your device. A managed browser, monitoring software or screen sharing can still show what is on your screen, so the eye button hides everything in one tap.
What is grey rock?
Being as interesting as a rock: short, factual replies that give a provocation nothing to hold. Yellow Rock adds warmth. Firm Rock draws the line.
Where does my history go?
Nowhere. It stays in your browser, encrypted with your passphrase. There is no recovery: lose the passphrase, lose the history. That is kind of the point.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The extension never needs the network, and the phone app keeps working after its first load.
Is this therapy or legal advice?
No. It is a coping tool for a bad day at work. For threats, harassment or danger, read Support without jokes.
Is the astrology real?
The sky is: the moon, Mercury and the planets are calculated on your device from real astronomy. The boss forecast is pure vibes, written to help you cope, not to predict anything.
Is the tarot real?
The art is: 78 public-domain paintings turned into stickers. The fortunes are vibes. Think of it as a mirror with jokes.
Could've been a boundary.
