Your Mac just got
a little more alive

Cute 3D pals live on your desktop. They walk along your windows, play in the snow, build snowmen and react to everything you do — without ever getting in the way of your clicks.

One-time purchase · macOS 15 or later · Apple Silicon & Intel

Not just an animation

Every pal has a personality, a memory and friends. And they really interact with your desktop.

🪟

They live on your windows

Pals walk along window edges, the Dock and the bottom of the screen, jump between them and climb. Move a window and they wobble, hold on — or fall off.

❄️

Snow that behaves like snow

Snow piles up on your windows and the Dock. Drag a window gently and it stays; jerk it and the snow slides and falls onto the windows below. Pals leave footprints.

☃️

A whole winter show

Pals build snowmen, throw snowballs, and a tiny snowplow clears the Dock. Santa's sleigh flies by, a garland glows along the top, and two hand-made winter wallpapers set the mood.

🎭

Real personalities

The goose steals your cursor, the raccoon sneaks up on it, the penguin trips over, the robot glitches. Pals make friends, remember how you treat them and get moody.

🎮

Games when you want them

Six mini-games right on the desktop, traditional games from Central Asia, and a football show. Games start only when you ask — everything else stays clickable.

🍂

Weather and seasons

Snow in winter, leaves in autumn, petals in spring, confetti on holidays. Turn each effect on or off, or let the calendar decide.

🎨

Make your own pal

Pick a base, a color, eyes, clothes and a voice. Pals earn levels and unlock accessories — hats, crowns, flower crowns.

🔋

Kind to your battery

Drawn on the GPU. On battery and in Low Power Mode the frame rate halves automatically, and pals hide in full-screen apps.

🔒

Private by design

No account, no analytics, works offline. Everything pals remember stays on your Mac.

Everything a click away

Desktop Pals lives in the menu bar. One window, five tabs — no manual needed.

  • Big buttons for every winter scene: snowfall, snowplow, shovel, Santa, snowballs, snowman
  • Choose which pals are on the desktop and how bold they are
  • “Do not disturb for 1 hour” and “Call the pals” from the menu bar
  • English and Russian, picked automatically from your system

Questions

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac with macOS 15 Sequoia or later — both Apple Silicon (M1 and newer) and Intel.

Will it slow down my Mac or drain the battery?

Pals are drawn on the GPU with a small budget. In “Auto” mode the frame rate halves on battery and in Low Power Mode and drops further if the Mac gets hot. Pals hide in full-screen apps. You can also pick “Battery saver” yourself.

Will pals get in the way of my work?

No. Clicks always go through to whatever is underneath. There's “Do not disturb for 1 hour”, Focus Mode (pals stay calm and quiet), and you can keep pals on the desktop only, below your windows.

Why does it ask for Accessibility permission?

It's optional. With it, pals can also jump onto Dock icons, desktop icons, widgets and window tabs. Desktop Pals only reads the position and size of those items — never their names or what's inside your windows. Without the permission pals still walk on windows, the Dock and the bottom of the screen.

How do I activate it?

After you pay, you get a message with a key that starts with DPALS- and a one-click activation link. Paste the key into the window that opens on first launch. Activation works offline.

I bought a new Mac. Can I move my license?

Yes. On the old Mac choose License… → Remove key from this Mac in the menu, then enter the same key on the new one.

I lost my key.

Message on Telegram from the account you used to buy and we'll send it again.

Does it collect any data?

No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The app only checks our website once a day for a new version. Read the privacy policy.

Is there a Windows version?

Not yet — Desktop Pals is made for macOS.
