A Bongo Cat alternative that's your own pet.
Bongo Cat taps the keys as you type. Peekoo does that too — then keeps going: it's your own pet, made from a photo, that also roams your desktop, climbs windows and grooves to your music.
This is how it keeps you company
Types along
When you type, it sits at its little keyboard and taps away right alongside you.
Climbs · Jumps
Scales the sides of your screen and leaps between windows — your desktop is its playground.
Grooves to music
The moment music plays, it closes its eyes and sways to the beat.
Naps when you leave
Step away and it tucks itself into its little bed and drifts off.
Types along, just like Bongo Cat
When you type, Peekoo sits at its little keyboard and taps away right alongside you. But unlike a single meme cat, it's a full desktop companion — and it looks like whoever you want.
So much more than one animation
Beyond typing, Peekoo walks across your desktop, climbs the sides of your screen, leaps between windows, grooves to music, naps when you're away and parachutes down from up high. Make it from any photo in about a minute.
