Hey!
I'm Marcel, the hooman who built Docko and I think we should make software fun again. Remember those good old Windows tools (that were bloated with malware 😅)?
Let's try and capture that era again - without the malware hah
If you ever wanted to have your own cat or dock just chilling in your macOS dock, or even running around on your screen - this app is for you.
I usually set my macOS dock to be hidden by default, but I gotta admit, seeing a cute cat (or dog) in the Dock is actually pretty fun and relaxing.
In a way Docko became my rubber duck debugging friend.
Feel free to try out the app, it's free to download on the macOS app store!
Let me know what you think :)
@siddharthsampath hah the cat actually starts purring when it falls asleep :)

That's really cute and makes me nostalgic for the late 90s. I like the name (vaguely rhymes with Doggo right?) and the Stardew Valley influence on your screenshots is the right vibe. Upvoted, congrats on your launch.

I love Docko, but my kids love it even more! 🎉 They’ve been having a blast with it.
I think it would be even more fun with a bit more interactivity—maybe some jumping or a cute sound when clicking on the pet? By the way, I noticed the sound isn’t working.
Looking forward to seeing how Docko evolves! Keep up the awesome work. 😊

this is amazing. is there a way to make the cat smaller (and to remove the bed from the ui)? i was hoping the cat would be the size of the first demo image

Docko became a delight addition to my macOS experience! Having a virtual pet is not only fun but also it adds a personal touch to my workspace. It is also quite entertaining. It’s a great way to lighten up the mood while working. It has brought a bit of joy to my MacOS
INSTANT INSTALL. I have been waiting for this since you teased it on X, @marcelpociot! Already have had my doggo on my Mac non stop. Can we collab to get a PH kitty version 🥺
Seriously though, nicely done. This is so fun and like what the internet (and computers) need more of. Congrats on the launch!

Adorable! Can it bark/purr to tell you you've had enough screen time and it's time to take your pet for a walk?
