▸ FOR SIDE HUSTLERS WHO KEEP QUITTING

Your side hustle,
as a pixel HQ.

Hire a tiny crew, give each one a hustle, and log the real money coming in and going out. Daily quests, streaks and levels unlock new rooms, so opening it every day feels like a game, not homework.

WHAT'S INSIDE

A spreadsheet with a soul.

Everything you need to keep a small hustle honest and moving, wrapped in a world you'll want to check on.

Name your crew

Hire pixel workers, pick their colours and hats, and send each one to a hustle. They walk to its room and get to work. Idle ones chill in the Lounge.

Real money only

Log every £ in and out per hustle. EARNED, SPENT and NET boards light up in your Command Core, and a 7-day chart shows your real week.

3 quests a day

Small, doable tasks like "reply to one customer" or "post one thing". Tick one and your streak lives. Tick all three for bonus XP.

Level up the lair

XP unlocks new rooms (Market Stall, Library, Lab, Mail Room, Vault, Arcade), extra crew slots, hats and decor. Always something next.

Weekly goal bar

Set a realistic money-in goal. Fill the bar by Sunday and the crew throws a party (+100 XP and confetti).

COMMS feed

Your crew reports in: sales, costs, level-ups and morning check-ins, all by name. The lair feels alive even on slow days.

WHY YOU WON'T QUIT IN A WEEK

Built for the slow weeks.

Most side hustles don't die from a bad idea. They die in week two, when nothing sells and there's no reason to open the spreadsheet. The lair rewards showing up, not just winning.

  • £0£0 days count. XP comes from logging and quests, never from how much you earn. A quiet day still moves you forward.
  • ❄Streak freezes. Earn one every 7 days. Miss a day and it saves your streak automatically.
  • ▲Always a next unlock. You can see exactly what the next level gives you and how much XP you need.
  • ☺A crew that checks in. Your workers greet you each morning with fresh quests on the board.

The honest bit

  • The Money Lair does not make money for you. There's no secret method and no "passive income" promise.
  • It's a tracker and a motivation game for hustles you're already doing or starting: an Etsy shop, reselling, tutoring, pet sitting, freelancing.
  • Your numbers are your real numbers. If you earned £0 this week, the lair will say £0. That's the point.
  • Not financial advice. Under 18? Check with a parent or guardian before you start selling anything.

FAQ

Questions

Will this make me money?

No app can promise that, and we won't. The Money Lair helps you stay consistent and see your real numbers. The money comes from the work you put into your own hustle.

Where is my data stored?

Only in your browser on your device (localStorage). We don't have servers holding your numbers, and nothing you log is sent to us. Use Data → Export to save a backup file or move to another device.

Do I need to connect my bank?

No. You type in the amounts yourself. That's on purpose: it takes ten seconds and it keeps you aware of every pound.

How do I get the app after paying?

Your receipt email includes your download with the app link. Bookmark it or add it to your home screen and it works like an app.

Is it a subscription?

No. It's a single £4.99 payment for a 30-day pass. Nothing renews and there's nothing to cancel.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet or laptop. No download needed.

What kind of hustles is it for?

Small, real ones: an Etsy or printables shop, reselling, tutoring, pet sitting, freelancing, baking orders, content. If money goes in and out, you can track it.
