This is the source code of my macOS app Desktop Pets!.
As you can guess, it brings Desktop Pets to macOS 🚀

The app is currently available for macOS and iOS (with slightly different features).
I'm working on a Python port using Qt, which will be targeting Windows and Linux systems.
It's just a cute little pet or animal that lives in your computer.
The most popular one was probably the eSheep for Windows 95.
Hope you like them too!
For daily use I recommend getting the App from the App Store.
Alternatively, you can download the latest release from GitHub or build from source (see below).
Starting from version 2.20 you can now create custom pets, please check the documentation.
You do not need any programming knowledge or Xcode to create your own pets, just design your characters and follow the instructions, good luck!
Contributors get a shout out in the app, just saying... 😏
