Hunted byVansh AroraVansh Arora

DeskPet is a cute virtual pet that lives on your Mac desktop and helps you through the workday. It runs a focus timer (work for 25 minutes, then take a short break), reminds you to drink water, stretch and rest your eyes, and keeps your tasks and notes in one place. Just type or say what you need, like “Start a 25-minute focus session” or “Add buy groceries to my tasks.” Private by default: it only reads your data if you allow it. Apple Silicon, macOS 14+ needed.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

DeskPet 🐾 is my first Mac app.

It's a cute pet that lives on your desktop and keeps you productive: focus sessions, water/stretch/eye-rest reminders, tasks and notes, all by just chatting with it.

What would you want your desktop pet to help you with? I'd love your feedback!
