Features

Small, but very much alive

Everything a desktop companion should do — and nothing that slows you down.

In the menu bar

No window, always there, never in the way. One click to tweak everything.

Pixel animations

It walks, runs, sits, sleeps, pounces and blinks. Hand-drawn, frame by frame.

Chases your cursor

Drop the yarn ball: it chases it across the screen and pounces on it.

Clipboard manager

Clipboard history that previews hex colors and images — and keeps the images you copy.

Custom skins

Change the cat's coat and style. Several skins included, more on the way.

Sprite editor

Draw your own pixel animations right inside the app. Your cat, your rules.

Retro sounds

Little 8-bit blips for every action. Mute them whenever you want quiet.

100% native

Swift & AppKit. No Electron, under 50 MB of RAM. Fast and discreet.

Privacy-first

No cloud, no account, no personal data. Your clipboard never leaves your Mac — only anonymous usage stats.
