It's a little ball that lives in your dock. You can drag it, and it'll bounce around the screen. You can flick it, bounce it, try to make it hit the corner, count how many times it hits the wall, and more. It's a ball. It's fun. It's a ball.
Saw this on Twitter (X) and it looked fun...but I grossly underestimated how addicting and cool it is. Really neat application of using the dock to create an immersive experience on a laptop.
I highly recommend folks to try this out if not for the joy of bouncing a ball, to add a new way of thinking on how to build Mac apps.
Congrats! Such a brilliant idea! It brings back memories of those nostalgic desktop games. Now I'm a ball man, passing time with every bounce!
A quick suggestion: It'd be smoother if clicking the ball made it bounce in a random direction. Dragging to bounce isn't as intuitive.
Perfect product for those moments when we need a mental break but when we can't step away from the computer. Congratulations on the launch!
I'm curious to know more about the technical details behind this app. How does it manage to create such realistic bouncing physics? And is there any way to customize the ball's appearance or behavior? Overall, it seems like a great way to add a little bit of whimsy to my desktop.
How pointless is this app that a bouncy ball gets featured over legitimate applications of relevant technology.
This is definitely a product of the day! Just not THE or A TOP or RELEVANT but I am sure they spent a lot of money on likes.

Ball is a fun and interactive app for your Mac, offering a simple yet entertaining experience of a bouncy ball that you can drag, flick, and watch bounce around the screen.
Hey!
Just encountered this new gem on the block, 'Ball'. Yes, it's as simple as it sounds - a playful bouncy ball living right there in your dock. At first, you might think, "Why should an AI startup cofounder and seasoned product officer like me, bother with a bouncing ball on my screen?". But honestly, amidst the hustle and bustle, bouncing this little buddy around works as an oddly soothing stress buster. It's the digital equivalent of those squishy stress balls, yet no squishing - just flick, bounce, and see it ricochet! Got to admit, never thought I'd count wall hits for fun, yet here I am, oddly satisfied.
Cheers to the creators for bringing fun back to the dock!
Great fun addition for the Mac, but it could use more features for customization and interactivity.
Congratulations on the launch of Ball! This fun and simple tool adds a playful touch to your Mac, letting you drag and bounce a ball around your screen. It's a delightful way to take quick breaks and relieve stress.
This reminds me of old times 😁
- There was a Nokia phone game called "Bounce"
- Windows has had these type of apps for decades
