Desktop pet · macOS

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.

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.
