Hi everyone,
Back several weeks ago, while working in the office, I suddenly felt bored with my Mac. There are so many great apps and tools that I use every day, but it seemed that something lively and chill is missing.
Then, I got back home, and I remembered the old days when I was in middle and high school. While I was studying, my puppy usually slept around on the floor. Those were some of the peaceful moments that I had.
Then I came up with the idea of building a Mac app to have a sleeping pet on the menu bar. Besides, this tiny pet can remind you to take a break too. ^^
This is a paid app ($3.99) with the following features.
- A list of 12 pets (now 16) that are exclusively designed
- Remind you to take a break and get back to work better
- Freely select the reminder time: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or 60 minutes
- Choose your favorite break reminder quote
- Minimalistic design with no dock icon
- Compatible with Dark Mode
- Compatible with all modern macOS versions
- More pets are added to the list
If you are one of our users, please feel free to send me a request for your favorite pet if it is missing. I am going to include it in the next version for you.
If you are interested in the whole process of building this Mac app, you can read the story here.

- quangctkm9207 5y agoWow. I have not known that. Long time ago, I installed a similar app on Android phone. Thanks to you, I know that was originally from Mac.
