I'm Leo. A few months ago I noticed something kind of dumb about my workflow: every time I hit build in Xcode, I'd just sit there. Staring. Sometimes I'd open Twitter and lose 20 minutes. Sometimes I'd start reading something and forget what I was even doing. Those 30-60 second gaps were killing my focus way more than the wait itself. So I started building Mini Pong as a weekend project. The idea was simple: a tiny Pong game in the menu bar. One click to play, click away and it pauses. No window switching, no losing your place. Just a quick rally while your code compiles.
Waiting for your code to compile? Watching your AI model think? Too short to do anything useful, too long to just stare at the terminal. MiniPong is the perfect 30 second micro-break. A tiny Pong arcade that lives in your macOS menu bar, always one click away.
Play a quick round between builds, deploys, or while your LLM generates a response. No windows to manage, no Dock icon, no alt-tabbing. Just click the menu bar icon, play, and get back to work when your build is ready.
