Hi Product Hunt! I’m the maker of DeskBub.

DeskBub is a small desktop companion for Windows and Mac. The idea is simple: a little company beside your apps while you work.

You can start with Kaka, our free desktop dog. No account or payment is needed to download and use him. He comes with five animations, adjustable size and opacity, and water and stretch reminders.

If you’d like your own pet on screen, you can upload a photo, create an animated companion, and pair it with the same desktop app. Custom plans are one-time purchases: Basic is $2.99 for one generation and one default animation; Plus is $9.99 for up to eight generations and up to five final animations. Kaka stays free.

I’d love feedback on the desktop experience: does the pet feel comfortable alongside your everyday apps, and which animation would you like to see next?

Thanks for taking a look!
