Pawse is a pixel-art desktop pet — pick a cat, dog, panda, or hamster that lives on your screen, follows your cursor, reacts to your typing, and naps while your AI agent works. A cute desktop mascot for macOS & Windows. 100% free, fully local, no telemetry.
Hey Product Hunt! I built Pawse because my desktop felt a little lonely while waiting on long AI agent tasks. It is a pixel-art desktop pet: pick a cat, dog, panda, or hamster that lives on your screen, follows your cursor, reacts to your typing, and even naps while Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex are running, then yawns when they finish. It is 100% free, fully local with no telemetry and no account, and works on macOS and Windows. The hamster wheel even spins at your actual WPM, and overheat mode kicks in when you type too fast. Would love your feedback on which pet is your favorite!
