Not a productivity tool but somehow it helps

Yes. That's it. That's the app.

What else can it do?

Not much. But enough.

Mostly vibes

Lives in your dock. Occasionally does something cute.

Pick your cat

No wrong choice. All cats are cute.

Roam the screen

Let it walk around like it owns the place.

Right-click to interact

Make it jump, sleep or more

People seem into it

So dang cute. I'm loving this little cat. It's very non-obtrusive but is just giving me so much joy by being on my desktop.

I am loooooving my dockitty ❤️ (please don't tell my actual cat lol)

laptopllama 5 stars App Store

Your dock has a cat now. "...as the intro screen says. I enjoy that you can also set a state for the cat, like chill, run, sit, or sleep. Or specific actions, like attack, jump, or, *gasp*, dramatic death.

Adopt a digital pet for your dock

Your Dock deserves more than Finder and a trash bin

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dockitty?

Dockitty is a tiny pixel cat that lives in your macOS Dock. It's a digital pet that brings cute animations, random joy, and a sprinkle of chaos to your desktop.

Is Dockitty compatible with my Mac?

Dockitty works on macOS 14.6 and newer. It's fully compatible with both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs.

How do I interact with Dockitty?

Right-click the Dock icon to trigger fun animations. When Dockitty is walking around your screen, you can even drag and drop them. More interactive tricks are coming soon!

Can I have more than one Dockitty?

Not officially… but here's a little hack:

  1. Duplicate the app in your Applications folder (cmd+C, then cmd+V)
  2. Rename it (like "Dockitty 2")
  3. Launch both - you have now two Dockittys.

If you ever end up with a Dock full of Dockitty, please send us a screenshot at hello@dockitty.app. We'd love to see it!

How do I hide the icon in the menu bar?

Easy! Open Dockitty settings and toggle off "Show menu bar icon."

I want Dockitty to send files to the trash when feeding.

Easy! Go to settings and enable "Trash mode" - Dockitty will eat and delete.

Is it safe to feed Dockitty my files?

Yes! Dockitty won't get sick - and your files aren't uploaded anywhere. They're just used to trigger the eating animation. We don't touch them otherwise.

Is there an easter egg?

Yes. That's all we'll say. So far, only one person has found it: Arnaud. 👀

Got an idea ?
