Desktop pet questions
What is a desktop pet?
A desktop pet is a small animated character that lives on your computer screen. DeskyPaw's pets are 3D dogs, cats and a red panda that walk along the bottom of your Mac screen, do tricks and keep you company while you work.
Does a desktop pet slow down my Mac?
DeskyPaw draws one small 3D model in a transparent window and pauses its work when it is hidden, so it uses very little battery and memory. Clicks pass straight through the window, so it never gets in the way.
Which desktop pet should I choose?
Pick the one that makes you smile. Dogs bark and wag, cats meow and purr, and the red panda waves quietly. All sixteen are included in the one-time price, and you can switch any time from the paw menu.
Is DeskyPaw free to try?
Yes. DeskyPaw has a free 3-day trial with every pet included and no account needed. After the trial it is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.
