CatPod - Pixel Cat Companion
A pixel-art cat companion for macOS with a built-in focus timer and desktop roaming.
CatPod is a native macOS desktop pet: a pixel-art cat that roams the display you are working on, curls up beside you while a focus session runs, and naps when you leave the desk.
Focus keeps the cat purring.
CatPod is a pixel cat that lives on your desktop - its mood and animations shift with its energy and happiness. It curls up beside you while a session runs, naps when you leave the desk, follows you to the screen you are working on and steps aside for full-screen apps. No account, no ads, no third-party tracking - your cat and stats stay on your Mac.
