Smart Cat

Smart Cat is a cat that lives in a Stream Deck key. It breathes, blinks, purrs and naps in its key, gets to know you over the hours you spend at your Mac, and comes out onto your screen when you tap it. For anyone who would like a little company at their desk.

IN ITS KEY. Shy at first: only ears and eyes. With time it gets curious, slow-blinks at you, kneads the glass and purrs when you hold its key. It feels your Mac too: hot when the processor is busy, sleepy on a low battery.

ON YOUR SCREEN. Tap, and it walks the Dock, climbs your windows, plays with a ball of yarn and comes to boop a pointer that rests nearby. Clicks go straight through it and it steps out of your way. Tap again to call it home.

A PAW WHEN YOU WANT ONE. Join a meeting 5 minutes before, open a new download, see which app is working hardest, eject a drive before you go, water and stretch breaks, a focus nap. One bubble at a time: tap for yes, hold for not now. Every helper is off until you turn it on.

YOUR CAT. Six coats, two secret ones, and an adoption code that brings your cat to another Mac.

On a Stream Deck Neo, the Infobar is its windowsill. macOS only: macOS 13 or later and Stream Deck 7.6 or later. Everything stays on your Mac; no account, no network. macOS asks before it may see Downloads or Calendars, only if you turn those on.

First release.

A cat that lives in a key: breathing, blinking, moods, and a face for how your Mac feels.

Trust that grows with time together: from shy stranger to bonded.

Tap to let it out onto your screen: it walks, climbs windows, plays with yarn and visits your resting pointer. Click-through.

Helpers, each off until you turn it on: meetings, downloads, busy Mac, Wi-Fi, low disk, eject before you go, stretch, water, goodnight.

Focus nap: hold the key.

Six coats, two secret, and adoption codes.
