Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I created Mac Pet because I wanted to bring some joy to the menu bar - that space we stare at all day but rarely smile at. It's a tiny pixel friend that walks with you while you work and dozes off when you take breaks. Made with love for everyone who spends long hours at their Mac and could use a cute companion. I'd love to hear which pet (cat or dog?) becomes your favorite menu bar buddy! 🐱🐕

If you want to add a bit of fun to your workflow, Mac Pet is a great app. Especially if you appreciate unique and cute things in your interface.

Nice! Can’t wait for the update where it demands food to force me to take breaks, and starts wandering all over my screen clicking and pressing random keys until I feed it

This is such a cute idea! Have you considered making it interactive? One thing though, what if my menu bar is full? Any workaround solution?

this is soooo cute! I can never resist to any pet/pixel pet for tech stuff. Thank you!!!

Congrats on launching Mac Pet, Toby! It's such a fun and unique idea to add a little joy to the menu bar. I love how it encourages breaks with the pet's sleep mode. Will there be any customization options for the pets, like choosing different activities or moods based on work patterns?

This is such a charming idea! It adds a personal touch to the workspace in a fun way.
