Bitkitty
A pixel-art cat that lives on your desktop and reacts to what your Mac is doing.
Not just a cute animation: Bitkitty watches your Mac's real state and changes mood to match.
Bitkitty is a tiny pixel-art cat that lives on your Mac’s desktop and quietly reacts to what your computer is actually doing.
It floats gently above your windows, stays out of your way, and is just there: a little bit of companionship while you work.
What it does
- 1
Low battery makes the cat sleepy; plugging in perks it right up.
- 2
A hard-working Mac sends it frantic while the fans spin.
- 3
Step away and it curls up for a nap, waking the moment you return.
- 4
Drag the cat anywhere and it remembers where you left it, or summon it to your cursor with a hotkey.
- 5
Adjustable size, each reaction can be switched off, and it lives in the menu bar with no Dock clutter.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a little companionship on the desktop while they work.
How it's built
A native macOS app that sits at essentially zero CPU when nothing is happening, lives in the menu bar, and never touches the internet.
Why it matters
Most desktop pets are just animations on a loop. Bitkitty responds to what is actually going on with your machine, which makes it feel like it is really there.
