Your Manhattan empire,

What it does

One panel. Total control of the grind.

Everything runs inside the game with a UI built to match it — no alt-tabbing, no spreadsheets, no fragile screen-reading bots.

🎛️

In-game control panel

A polished F8 overlay styled to match Big Ambitions — live cash, day & net-worth, with every toggle a tap away. Hover anything for a tooltip.

🇩🇰

English & Dansk

Full English and Danish UI — switch with one tap in the panel; your choice is remembered between sessions.

⚡

Instant quick-actions

One-click +$1,000 and Energy 100%. Useful from the second you spawn — no shop required.

⏩

Time-skip (AFK)

Fast-forward the clock while your businesses keep earning. Step away; come back richer.

❤️‍🩹

Auto-wellbeing

Keeps energy topped up automatically so you never have to stop the empire to sleep or eat.

🛡️

Click-safe overlay

Clicks on the panel never leak into the world — hooked straight into the game's input layer.

💾

Settings that stick

Your toggles and reserve floor persist across sessions. Set it once, forget it.

🔍

Preview-first & safe

Every money move previews what it would do first — flip Live mode on only when you're watching. A cash reserve floor it never crosses, plus safety breakers that halt on trouble.

NEW
💰

Finance auto-pay

Pays your taxes the moment they come due — the one money chore the game won't do for you. Rent, wages & loans already settle nightly. Reserve-floor gated.

NEW
👔

Employees

Keeps staff productive: a morale bonus to unhappy employees when the game allows one, and completed training finished automatically.

NEW
🚚

Logistics

Sets up a repeating weekly import for any product running low, so stock keeps flowing without manual reordering.

PREVIEW
📦

Auto-restock

Reads each shop's stock and restocks to target on the daily tick, gated by your reserve floor. Previews until a verified per-item buy lands.

⚖️

Service fee (opt-in)

Optional challenge: charge yourself in-game cash whenever the bot does work for you, so leaning on automation isn't free. Off by default; tune the per-run fee in the panel.

Built to fail safe

Automation you can trust to leave running.

  • ✓
    Default-OFF.

    A fresh install does nothing until you opt in, feature by feature.

  • ✓
    Reserve floor & budget.

    It never spends below the cash cushion you set — checked against the whole plan, not one buy at a time.

  • ✓
    Safety breakers.

    Low funds, unpaid rent or empty inventory halt automation and tell you why.

  • ✓
    Never writes your save.

    All settings live outside the save file. Uninstall any time and load vanilla, clean.

// the brain decides before it acts
plan = restock.Plan(state)
