DeskPet is a desktop companion application for macOS that allows users to display animated pets, such as cats, dogs, foxes, and rabbits, directly on their computer screen. The app uses transparent video overlays to create the appearance of a pet living on the desktop, with support for custom animations, text, and sound interactions. It is designed to provide a low-distraction presence during activities like coding, studying, remote work, and deep focus sessions, without intrusive pop-ups or constant notifications. The application includes a library of pet styles and motion states, with the ability to add more through an expandable pet library. Users can prepare pet assets using MOV, GIF, or WebP files, with guidance for filming pets on a clean or solid-color background for easier cutout. Interaction settings allow customization of button labels, pet reply text, optional action clips, and custom audio for each tap or click. Idle messages can be configured to rotate through playful text while the pet is resting, and appearance settings let users adjust pet size and the display duration of idle messages. The app also supports organizing pets into groups and resizing them freely. Typical use cases include keeping a favorite pet visible while working, bringing cherished memories of a real pet to life through motion, and using light interactions as a brief relaxation break between focused sessions. Upcoming features include wellness reminders and focus habit support. The app is distributed as a free DMG download (86 MB) and includes a sample orange cat pet. Installation requires dragging the application to the Applications folder.
