Your pet, living on your desktop.

Send us four photos of your dog or cat. We turn them into a real-footage version of your pet that sits in the corner of your Mac, follows your mouse with its head, naps when you step away and eats the treats you drag to it. Drag it anywhere on your screen and pick from 5 sizes.

That's Chunky in the corner. Move your mouse, or give him something to do.

A sidekick that looks exactly like yours

Desktop Sidekicks started with Chunky, a lilac merle French Bulldog with pale blue eyes. We wanted him on the desk all day, so we built a small Mac app where he sits in the corner, watches the cursor and does his tricks. People kept asking for their own, so now anyone can have one.

Your pet isn't a cartoon or a 3D model. Every frame is photo-real footage generated from your photos, then checked by a quality pipeline before it's sent to you.
