You start as a solo developer with nothing but a laptop, a cup of coffee, and a big idea. Ship It! Idle Tech Tycoon is an idle business simulator built around the software industry. Tap to write your first lines of code, ship your first Minimum Viable Product, and watch the downloads roll in. Reinvest your early cash flow, hire a team of developers, and grow your bedroom startup into a global tech company that earns passive income while you're away.
Every app you publish generates steady idle cash, but coding a hit is only part of the job. You also have to manage the chaotic lifecycle of a rapidly scaling tech company.
BUILD YOUR PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
Three product tiers, from hyper-casual hits to utility apps to enterprise B2B SaaS. Assemble a team of junior devs, senior engineers, scrum masters, ASO experts, HR, legal, DevOps, security, sales, and marketing. Upgrade your HQ from a garage to a co-working space to a corporate headquarters with server farms.
DEEP MANAGEMENT & TYCOON MECHANICS
Monitor hidden stats: reputation, employee morale, tech debt, security posture, and client satisfaction. Play through a 25-year arc, from founding to a long-term legacy phase, bootstrapping or raising venture capital along the way. Decisions have consequences: ignored tech debt causes system failures, ignored security causes data breaches.
OVER 300 STORY EVENTS
Macro shocks and HR crises: sector bubbles, interest rate swings, banking crises, office romances, key-person resignations, burnout, and poaching. Tech shifts: the mobile shift, cloud computing, and the AI revolution all show up as events that change your strategy.
IDLE PROGRESS THAT RESPECTS YOUR TIME
Earn offline income and get a daily summary when you return. A prestige system lets you sell assets and restart with permanent multipliers for a fresh run.
CLIMB THE GLOBAL LEADERBOARDS
Compare your company valuation against other players worldwide, and link your account to carry progress across devices.
Ship It! Idle Tech Tycoon is free to play, with optional ads and optional in-app purchases.
