BongoCat is a desktop companion for Windows and macOS. A Live2D cat lives on your screen, its eyes and paws follow your mouse, and it reacts to every key, mouse button and gamepad button you press. Bring your own models, move the window wherever you like, and it stays out of your way until you want it again.
Inspired by Bongo-Cat-Mver by MMmmmoko.
Features
- Runs on macOS and Windows.
- Matches the right motion to every key, mouse button or gamepad button you press.
- Bring your own Live2D models and make the cat your own.
- Fully open source, public code, and no collection of user data.
- Works offline with no network access, so your privacy is protected.
