PixelClaw is a tiny animated crab that lives on your Mac Dock, giving you something charming to watch and play with while Claude Code works in the background. It naps, hops, and chases apples you drop for it.

Built PixelClaw because I got bored waiting for Claude Code.

Modeled after the Claude Code mascot, it’s a tiny pixel crab that lives on your Dock, sleeps, wakes on click, and chases apples you drop.

Started as a dumb side project between prompts, and turned into a surprisingly fun little companion.

Would love to hear what features or behaviors you’d want in a tiny Dock companion.

This is awesome, a full little background minigame, might have to adjust my screens to make room for this little guy between runs

A new friend for Dinoki!

This brings back memories! The first time I saw a Mac as a kid, it had those eyes in the menubar that followed the mouse pointer.

ok this is adorable. would be cool if you could feed it and watch it grow like a tamagotchi 🦀
