Pixelcats that live on your Mac and fetch your notifications

Desktop Cat launched on June 16, 2026 with 2 votes.

What it does

일하는 당신 곁, 화면 구석에서 제 할 일 하며 사는 픽셀 고양이. 가끔 알림을 물어다 주고, 어느새 식빵을 굽고 있습니다. macOS 무료.

Adopt a tiny pixel cat for your desktop. Feed, pet and play while you work. Available for macOS and Windows. Your first cat is free forever.

A little company for your working day. They wander, loaf and nap beside you. On your Mac, they even fetch your notifications. Look up from a deadline and find a cat with its paws tucked in. A small reminder to take a breath. On macOS, your cat runs to incoming notification banners and carries them in its mouth. A very proud little messenger. On macOS, cats sit by unread Dock badges and tap them with a paw. Even reminders can be cute. 😼 Turn your cursor into a toy and your screen becomes a playground. These little cats can really jump. Fill their bowls and clean their litter boxes. Happy cats are good company. Hungry cats will let you know. A cat clocks in alongside your Claude Code session…from kanghuitae.github.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
