Every great analyst starts with a single empty cell. Idle Analyst is a relaxed incremental game about building a spreadsheet that quietly takes over your screen. Start with one humble formula, watch the numbers tick upward, and reinvest your output into smarter cells, bigger functions, and clever automation. Tap to grow your workbook, then sit back as it runs itself. The real game is optimization: which cell to upgrade next, when to lean on conditional logic, and exactly when to refactor and start fresh — faster and stronger than before. WHAT YOU'LL DO • Build a grid of living formula cells — references, sums, averages, lookups, randomness, and conditional logic that rewards clever play • Unlock new columns and entire sheets as your workbook grows • Automate the busywork with AutoFill once you've earned it • Refactor to bank permanent Insights that multiply everything • Keep earning while you're away with offline progress • Chase achievements and archive every workbook you outgrow A career's worth of progression, told one milestone at a time — from your very first assignment to things no spreadsheet was ever meant to do. No timers nagging you. No pressure. Just numbers going up, a workbook getting smarter, and that perfect "one more refactor" feeling. Grab a coffee. Open the workbook. Watch it climb.

About

Singularity Inc. Idle Tycoon

Features
Read full description

You raised a seed round and rented a server closet. Time to build God — or at least a profitable API. Singularity Inc. is a satirical idle tycoon about the AI gold rush. Start with one humming GPU and scale to a planet-sized compute cluster, watching your 2.5D data center physically fill with racks as you grow. Three resources, one clean loop, infinite "synergy." THE LOOP • Generate Compute, spend it on training runs, claim Data + Money. • Reinvest in racks, cooling, overclocking, and automation — every upgrade you buy literally appears in the hall. • Climb an AI research tree of increasingly absurd capabilities. • "Ship the Model" to prestige: reset for permanent Legacy Weight multipliers, then do it all again — faster. A WORLD THAT GROWS • A clean 2.5D data-center hall that lights up and sprawls as you scale — no two labs look alike. • Tap the open sides of the floor to buy expansions; the room physically grows in that direction. • Era transitions re-skin the entire hall and pop a satirical "press release" when you level up your empire. BUY YOUR DATA — LEGALLY, OR NOT • Source training data from licensed vendors… or risk the dark-web Bazaar for cheaper bytes. • Mind your Regulatory Heat: push your luck and a surprise audit might "request its cut." • A dozen+ satirical world events — viral demos, GPU shortages, open letters, talent wars — shake up every run. HONEST BY DESIGN • No ads. Ever. • No energy timers. No fake-urgency pop-ups. • Plays offline — your lab keeps earning while you're away. No standups required. • The whole game is free to play, start to finish. SINGULARITY PRO (OPTIONAL) • Offline earnings ×2 and a 24-hour offline cap • Autopilots unlock one Ship sooner • Pro-only hall themes and rack skins, with new drops regularly • Try it free for 7 days with the yearly plan, or unlock it forever with a one-time purchase Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. WHO IT'S FOR If you love idle, incremental, clicker, and tycoon games but want a cleaner economy, a world that visibly grows, and a sharp sense of humor about the AI industry — this one's for you. Definitely not a bubble. Privacy Policy: https://wrexist.github.io/SINGULARITY/privacy/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
