Burned out? Turn any webpage into Tetris.

Open the thing you’re supposed to be working on and click one bookmark. The page falls apart, and you stack the pieces back up. You’ll get more done than you have all week, as long as “done” means lines.

1 Drag this to your bookmarks bar Pagetris

Can’t see the bar? ⌘ Shift B on a Mac, Ctrl Shift B everywhere else.

2 Open something you’re avoiding

Jira. Your inbox. The doc that’s due tomorrow. The PR with 84 comments. Click Pagetris and watch it fall apart. The pieces are labeled with whatever was on the page, so the backlog you’re stacking is your actual backlog.

3 Someone’s coming? Press Esc

Your screen turns into a Claude Code session and you just keep typing. Press Q when you’re ready to go back to work. The page comes back exactly as it was, and so does the work.

Try it on this sad backlog

It’s been in this state since before you joined. It will be in this state after you leave.

The boss key

Hit Esc and your screen goes full-screen as a Claude Code session. Mash the keyboard and every keystroke types out the obvious next prompt: “continue”, “it’s still broken”, “make it better”.

Claude does all the work. When it asks for permission, any key means yes. Your boss sees an engineer at peak AI-augmented productivity, which, to be fair, is what your job already looks like.

or press Esc. Press it again to come back.

Questions nobody at your company will ask

Does it send anything anywhere?

No. It runs on the page you click it on and makes no network requests. It’s the only thing on your work laptop that isn’t tracking you.

Will it break the page?

Only visually. Press Q and everything goes back where it was, obligations included.

Does it work on my phone?

No. Burn out at a desk like a professional.

Is the Claude Code screen real?

No, but nobody will be able to tell, because neither is your contribution to the real one.
