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!

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 this still a trojan virus?
this never was a virus
I'm currently rewriting the Desktop Goose to make it cross-compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac. Since the original project is closed source, is it okay if I then publish my modified code on GitHub?
Edit: Or maybe we can collaborate! My version uses .NET 8 with SkiaSharp instead of Windows Forms.
Works on Linux (Kubuntu) with wine, with a few caveats:
idea: if you do the the konami code you can control goose
How to turn it off?
hold escape
Do you mean evict it please don't evict it
... too late :P
Well, get him back
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
for the last time im not downloading this because it does not let me make ihtx
its the worst cuz when i closed google it said i am seeking trouble and if i can not find it i will make it and then forced me to restart my computer.
hold esc to eevict the goose
The goose does not make any sounds except walking. What to do?
try reinstalling
