A grey pixel cat sitting and swishing her tail

DeskPartner

A pixel cat for the Windows desktop. She lives on your screen edges and window frames and stays out of your way.

She walks across your windows, eats, sleeps and sulks if you wake her. She watches films with you and hides during calls. She chases a pixel mouse and plays with a ball of yarn. She grows up with you and, if you ask, tells you about new patches for your games and new anime episodes.

What she does

  • Eats When she gets hungry, she waits by the bowl. Forget to feed her and she goes looking for food herself.
  • Sleeps Tired, she curls up into a ball. Step away from the computer and she dozes off right away.
  • Sulks Wake her too early and she is sluggish at first, then hisses, and may stalk off past the screen edge.
  • Watches films Start a film and she settles in a corner to watch it with you. During calls she hides.
  • Hunts A drawn mouse runs across your windows, and she chases it to the very edge of the screen.
  • Plays with yarn Now and then she rolls a ball of yarn in from the screen edge and bats it across the floor.
  • Comes in five coats Grey tabby, ginger, black, tuxedo or calico. Each one sleeps, plays and takes offence a little differently.
  • Grows up She starts as a kitten, becomes a teen after 15 days together and a grown cat after a month.
  • Keeps you company Pick “Focus for 25 minutes” and she naps by an hourglass. When time is up, she calls you for a break.
  • Dresses up Milestones unlock a bow, a bandana, a bell, a beanie and a crown. She also keeps a diary about your days.
  • Brings a present After 100 days together she brings you a mouse. Accept it and it stays as a trophy; turn it down and she takes it away, offended.

Privacy

  • She sees only window frames and never reads their contents. Titles only if you let her spot websites in your browser, and they are forgotten right away.
  • She knows about a call when the microphone or camera is busy, but never records sound.
  • By default the only things about you that go online are the date and your language. Film reviews, game patches and anime episodes are off until you turn them on, and then send only a film title, the Steam IDs of your games or the anime titles you typed. No counters, no analytics, and none on this site either.
