Mac desktop pet for macOS 14+

Vupi

A small, quiet desktop companion that lives near the edge of your screen, moves gently, and reacts to direct care.

What Vupi does

A companion that stays quiet.

Vupi is a native macOS app: transparent overlay, menu bar controls, local settings, and no invasive permissions for the 1.x release.

Above the desktop

Peach or Goma appear as a small transparent overlay above normal windows.

Direct interaction

Click, drag, pet, and open a compact care palette from the context menu.

Daily rhythm

Vupi responds to local time, absence, and quiet night-rest phases.

Private by default

No analytics scripts, no accounts, and no Screen Recording or Accessibility requirement.

Release status

The public download is available.

Vupi 1.1.0 is published as a Developer ID signed and notarized disk image for macOS.

Peach and Goma

Two pets, the same calm rules.
