Mac Pet - A menu bar pet that wakes and sleeps as you work

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I created Mac Pet because I wanted to bring some joy to the menu bar - that space we stare at all day but rarely smile at. It's a tiny pixel friend that walks with you while you work and dozes off when you take breaks. Made with love for everyone who spends long hours at their Mac and could use a cute companion. I'd love to hear which pet (cat or dog?) becomes your favorite menu bar buddy! 🐱🐕

heheh nice approach! i can think of many cat lovers who would love this!

Fun idea!! Plans to more animals? :D Congrats on the launch!

Very cool! Any inspiration from a particular VSCode extension?

hahaha so cute! Love it. And I prefer cat

Congrats on the launch! 🎉 Mac Pet sounds like a cute and creative way to stay mindful of your work habits. Which color combo is your fave?

Congrats on launching this adorable pixel pet app! 🐾 Transforming the menu bar into a cozy space for a little companion is such a charming idea. The feature where the pet sleeps when you take breaks adds a delightful touch of personality. Excited to see how users customize their furry friends to match their style! 🐕🐈✨

Congrats on launching Mac Pet, Such a fun and adorable way to bring some joy to the menu bar. Love the idea of a little pixel buddy keeping you company during work. Can’t wait to see which pet becomes the crowd favorite—team cat or dog?

Congrats, I really love the arcade style!

That's so cute!!

Congrats on launching Mac Pet, Toby! It's such a fun and unique idea to add a little joy to the menu bar. I love how it encourages breaks with the pet's sleep mode. Will there be any customization options for the pets, like choosing different activities or moods based on work patterns?

this is soooo cute! I can never resist to any pet/pixel pet for tech stuff. Thank you!!!

Nice! Can’t wait for the update where it demands food to force me to take breaks, and starts wandering all over my screen clicking and pressing random keys until I feed it

all the best

Heheh Toby it's definitely the kind of launch I love to see here cause it actually break the game showing us something truly different and cool. Happy to see you here and wish you all the best on this impressive launch

This is such a cute idea! Have you considered making it interactive? One thing though, what if my menu bar is full? Any workaround solution?
