Square Pet

Square, a white mochi-like cube character, lives at the bottom of your desktop.

Real demo video

Square’s movements are a recording of the app actually running on a Mac (background and windows are illustrative; no sound).

What it does

  • Walks back and forth just above your taskbar or Dock
  • Waves now and then
  • Gets happy when you click it
  • Pick it up and let go, and it drops and lands
  • After a while, it yawns and falls asleep
  • Always stays in front of other windows
  • Quit from the menu bar icon (Mac) or the system tray icon (Windows)

System requirements

  • Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit)
  • macOS 11 or later (Apple silicon: M1/M2/M3/M4 etc.)
  • Intel Macs are not supported.

Please note

  • It does not start automatically when your computer starts.
  • There is no settings screen (size and speed cannot be changed).
  • On Windows, the app is not code-signed, so “Windows protected your PC” may appear the first time (click “More info” → “Run anyway”).
  • Square walking along the bottom of the desktop
  • Square getting happy when clicked
  • Picking Square up
  • Square yawning and falling asleep
