The desktop pet for Mac, made from your photo.
Peekoo is a tiny, native desktop pet for macOS — made for Apple Silicon and Intel. Turn any photo into a buddy that lives on your desktop, and it stays out of your way while keeping you company.
This is how it keeps you company
Climbs · Jumps
Scales the sides of your screen and leaps between windows — your desktop is its playground.
Types along
When you type, it sits at its little keyboard and taps away right alongside you.
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.
A desktop pet that fits right in on macOS
Peekoo is a ~11 MB native app that sips CPU and battery. Your clicks pass right through it, so it never blocks your work — it just roams, climbs your windows, types along while you type, grooves to your music and curls up when you're away.
Any photo becomes your pet
Upload a photo of a person or pet and Peekoo creates your own character in about a minute. Set an identity and affection, and even 'vent' by taking it out on a grumpy boss — all cute, all yours.
Which Macs does it work on?
macOS 14 and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel.
Will a desktop pet slow down my Mac?
No — Peekoo is a tiny native app designed to sip CPU and battery.
Is it free?
Yes, free to start. Upgrade for every move, multiple pets and unlimited regeneration.
