What People Say
Real reviews from the Mac App Store
Absolutely adore these little desktop pets. Many lovely free options, and the pets' movement is really soothing. Also love how they sit on top of open windows, and sometimes teleport around/eat/nap etc! Really easy to use, easily the best desktop pet app I have used, and I've tried a bunch.
It even supports animals to walk and sit on a window border, and birds will fly and land on a window border. There are many choices of birds and pets and all kinds of animals. And this app is still being regularly updated. Really awesome app for Mac. Try it out β it's fun!
I love my little desktop pets! They add a little whimsy to even the most boring of tasks. This app literally makes me regret buying a 14 inch laptop because I want my little guys to have more windows to roam on the top of!
The animals are incredibly cute and have a surprisingly calming effect. Especially during stressful moments, it helps me enormously to pause for a second and focus on these little companions. Each animal has its own unique movements and personality.
Been keeping me company for weeks now. Haven't gotten bored of my shiba inu. Great app if you're lonely!
The people were so nice helping me get my favorite pets back and the pet adding was really easy to do. I've used the app for about 3 or 4 years now and it is super fun. Really recommend!
