KnockPet

Put a tiny companion on your desktop. While you code, write, or drift off for a moment, it moves in the corner and nudges you to breathe.

Time for a break?

Your little companion has been waiting for 45 minutes.

Adopt one for your desktop, then explore more companions in the community.

Choose your system, and your desktop gets lively in minutes.

No complicated setup first. Choose Apple Silicon or Intel for macOS, or download the Windows build directly.

Pets wander near the edges of the screen, pause, and look back at you. They stay out of the way but keep the desktop alive.

Break and posture nudges arrive in a lighter way, so you breathe for a second instead of getting another harsh popup.

Find new companions in the gallery, and if you draw your own characters, send them to other people's desktops too.

This is where community-made desktop companions live. Start with Knocky and Nebula, then explore by mood, species, and motion style.

Quiet in the corner, looking up now and then. Great when you want steady company through a focused afternoon.

Bright and energetic. Pops up when you have been sitting too long, like a friend reminding you to move.
