How to Play Desk Cat Coder - Step by Step
The Desk Cat Coder page loads a ~72 KB stealth desk platformer in an iframe. Guide the cat to the keyboard, type lines, and distract the owner across seven days.
Step 1 - press Play and Start Game
Press Play to inject the iframe (~72 KB). On the black title screen click Start Game. Optional fedora checkbox is cosmetic.
Step 2 - climb to the computer
Arrow Left/Right walk the shelves. Arrow Up jumps. Reach the computer when the owner is not sitting there.
Step 3 - type lines
Spam letter keys to raise the green additions counter. The owner undoes lines slowly if they catch you at the keyboard.
Step 4 - distract and recover
Push drinks, food, or desk items with arrows so the owner leaves. Return to typing before the work-day timer ends.
Step 5 - clear seven days
Each day ends with a score screen and Next Day. After seven days the grid and rank summarize total lines shipped.

Why trust these tools
- Ten-plus years of web tooling. The freetoolonline editorial team has shipped browser-based utilities since 2015. The goal has never changed: get you to a working output fast, without an install.
- No install, no sign-up. Open a tool and get a working output in seconds - nothing to download and no account to create. Tools that need heavy processing run it on our service, so even a low-powered machine gets the job done.
- Analytics stops at the page view. We measure which pages get visited, not what you type or upload inside a tool. There is nothing to sign in to and no profile is attached to your input.
- Open-source core components. The processing engines underneath (libheif, libde265, pdf-lib, terser, clean-css, ffmpeg.wasm, and others) are public and audit-able. We link to each one in its tool page's footer.
- Free, with or without ads. All tools are fully functional without sign-up. The Disable Ads button in the header is always available if you need a distraction-free run.
