Desktop Goose
A downloadable goose-sperience for Windows and macOS
HONK HONK, HEAR YE. I have created a goose for your desktop.
He'll nab your mouse, track mud on your screen... leave you a message, deliver you memes?
Play video games with a desktop buddy who will attack you if you poke him.
Fill out spreadsheets while your screen fills up with instances of Goose Notepad.
Supports MacOS versions 10.10+!
NOTE: I am not affiliated with House House or Panic. This is a different goose. Direct support questions to the Discord!

[And if you wanna support my work, I made some new things you can check out!]
Fidget Physics: Turn your entire desktop into a literal sandbox!
Desktop Cat Cursor: Transform your ordinary mouse cursor into its eternal nemesis: a cat paw
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it open source or closed source? I would like to contribute on the project^^
or specifically the modding sdk
i don't know how to play the actual thing lol
This is funny and cool
how the heck do you run it on windows 11?! i cant even run it
LUCKY!i can't play cuz im on laptop
I love it! The Goose is so cute
BUG: Whenever one of my friends streamed gameplay with the goose ok screen, everytime the goose took a step, sound would bug out. its like pressing the entrance of sound, like you making a noise and tapping your mouth or whenever you play the flute, you interrupt the sound for a few milliseconds before it comes back on. The goose interrupted the sound about 3-4 timed per second, which is her stepping rate. This happened on a Discord call, on fullscreen sharing. And it only happened to me, not the person hosting.
HELP I ACTIVATED LIKE 50 AT ONCE AND NOW MY COMPUTER IS SUPER LAGGY
ggg
guys stop, it's not a virus. youtubers are trolling
its cool but i cant turn it off
hold esc
how do you turn it off
I found out
thanks
riereen
I love having this open while I just stuff on my pc because it makes it so much more interesting, like you removing one of the things the goose dragged onto the srceen and having it chase your curser around as you attempt to navigate websites normally is so fu
10/10 best thing ever made life channging
OMG I love its TSM for making this! :)
How do you get many downloads?
I love it, he's adorable when he runs too XD Thank you for making this
The ESC key doesn't work for me and the task manager just kills my PC. Is there another way to close the program?
control, shift, and escape will open a task manager thingy, you can click on the app and click end task
Escape doesn't work and task manager just kills my PC
This goes really well with the game "Desktop Survivors 98" that came out this month so you can have a little troublesome animal campaign while adventuring through dungeons and fighting foes.
completely i had downloaded this little guy back in 2021. 4 years later here i am to get the newest version lol
yep , I'm too
aaaaa so cutee! I named him Poko :D
Btw y'all just need to hold esc a bit longer for it to close! don't worry!
You guys just need to read the file 'Read Me! Honk!' geez no need to panic okay
Neither can I get the downloads because my think has such a big anti-virus sync it doesn't allow any downloads
Virustotal flags it as a trojan virus
I think there should be a way to toggle whether the goose can bring memes and text files. For now one way around it is to just set the wandering times to something really big in the config.ini file.
Also would be cool if the goose could do more stuff.
BABY
go furry femboy
please help me
hold down esc it will close him
i seriously can't get rid of him
so i might have got a glitch and i can't find the app in finder and now i have a permanent goose
hold down esc for a bit and he will be disabled
is there a way i can get it on my 2. screen?
Linux support? 🥺
the wine app works but he is a bit slow https://www.winehq.org/
i dowloaded it but he isn't there, what's going on?
EDIT:figured out you gotta open it in the files
I can't even get it it's like $2,000 expensive that I can get
Can't you just hit the "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" button?
Cannot download anything ultra secure virus Kevin pay for anything oopsie I just said a weird word it's normal I say random stuff when it's hard to like it's it's it's cock I can't download anything
I can't download anything because of my super virus protection it blocks every download
I can't download anything because of my super super antivirus protection I can't and download any thing it just blocks it
I can't download anything because of my super antivirus
Sooo, I wouldn't recomend it because it deleated stuff from my computer right after I installed and some other problems.

Just wanna make sure this ain't malware or anything, my last computer started having complications and eventually broke down SPECIFICALLY after downloading it (And other unrelated issues).
Oh jeez I'm so glad you posted this, I just found it and thought about downloading it
wait so is it a virus? im 12 and really want this because it looks really fun and cute! but if its a virus ill be sad
Idk I might've downloaded the wrong one last time or something, but that's why I'm asking. No one else seems to have a problem with it tho
its fine for me
It is not a virus. I have used it a lot and watched others use it, and it works fine with no warnings or signs of viruses. I think you are fine..
Well, I'm on Mac, so if you get a warning, maybe it has something to do with he platform the user is on.
I did get a warning, but nothing more than just "This app is made by an unidentified developer. Are you sure you want to open it anyway?" or something like that.
There's no sound!
VERY CUTE XD
