A little friend
for your desk.

Desktop Pet drops a tiny cat or dog on your Mac who walks across your screen, plays ball, takes naps, and quietly keeps you company. Lives in your menu bar — never in your way.

What's inside

Tiny pet. Big personality.

Cat or dog, you pick

Switch animal in one tap from Settings. More pets coming as Desktop Pet grows.

Tap to play

Floating hologram tray hovers near your pet. Tap to walk, play ball, scuba dive, or nap.

Lives in your menu bar

Tiny icon up top. Show, hide, or quit your pet in one click — never steals focus.

Tune the vibe

Pick size, walking speed, and sound volume. Big bold cat or stealth desk mouse.

Photoreal, not pixel art

Real cat and dog footage with crisp alpha cutouts. Walks like the real thing.

Yours alone

No account. No tracking. No subscriptions. Your desk stays your desk.

Companion

A small friend who shows up every day.

Open your Mac. Your pet's already there — strolling across the wallpaper, ready for a play session or a nap. Not a notification. Not a chore. Just a little friend in the corner of your screen.

Play

Tap an action. Watch what happens.

Floating hologram tray follows your pet around. Tap walk and they wander. Tap ball and they bat it across your dock. Tap scuba and… well, you'll see. Easy to pick up, fun to discover.

Calm

Built native. Quietly polite.

Pure SwiftUI, alpha-channel video, menu-bar resident. Low CPU, low RAM, no background nags. Hide your pet for a focus block and bring them back when you're ready.
