From clicker to idle
Every game on this page follows the same arc: you do something small by hand, buy something that does it for you, and spend the rest of the game balancing what to automate next. The early minutes are a clicker; an hour in it is an idle game that rewards checking back. Farms, mines, shops and factories are the usual dressing — the sections below group the catalog by that theme where it has depth — but the loop underneath is shared.
Building games with real placement and layout decisions are under strategy games; tap games with no progression at all are just casual games.
Offline progress and what it costs
Most idle games here calculate what you earned while the tab was closed and pay it out when you return, within a cap; that uses the browser's local storage, so come back in the same browser. None of the games need money to progress — the catalog carries ad-supported titles only — though some show optional ads for a temporary boost.
They are the lightest games on the site to run and work on any phone; the only real requirement is patience.
Do idle games keep earning when the tab is closed?

Most do: when you return, the game works out how long you were away and credits the production, usually up to a cap of several hours. It relies on the browser's local storage, so it only works in the same browser on the same device.
Is a clicker game the same as an idle game?

A clicker is the first stage of an idle game — you earn by tapping until you can buy automation. Once the game produces on its own, it is idle. Almost every title here does both, in that order.
