Desktop Goose
A downloadable goose-sperience for 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!
0.31 AUTUMN UPDATE:
- Adds an official mod to let Desktop Goose play in leaf piles! See autumn.txt in the files for more!
*Mac doesn't support mods yet. Wait for 2023. :)
0.3 UPDATE:
- NEW, OFFICIAL MODDING API! Join the discord discord.gg/xZFRmPT and check the #goose-mods channel for more info on this :D
- YOUR OWN NOT-EPAD TEXTS! Add whatever notepad phrases you want, and the goose will pull them up!
- NEW CONFIG TOGGLES! Customize the goose's behaviour further, silence the audio, and more!
From 0.2+:
- Unlimited memes! Put whatever memes you want in the assets folder! Goose will bring them.
- Added GIF support!
- Config the goose! Alter properties in the config.goos file (open it in Notepad) to adjust his aggression!)
This is not a final itch page - just trying to get something up so I can upload the project tonight! :D

Very interesting, I want to download it to the teacher’s computer tomorrow XD
it wont work?
it looks likes a virus because it moves your cursor and open but it alright
It appears to be safe, considering all of the people that executed it and nothing happened, but sometimes it's better being safe than being sorry
yeah the only thing not safe from the goose is you.
downloading my new goose bro was the best decision I've made on this platform
me updating my goose:
there's a goose update????
also I made my goose aesthetic and pink
no there is no desk goose update
btw im on me phone cuz me pc has ass wifi so this pic is rare (feel free to steal)
the goose experience
accurate drawing of what happens when you close the goose's "not-epad"
now, a comment from goose
damn boy that thing looks great
yeah i drew it in aseprite and layered it over reflection (the win10 default wallpaper) but it took me only a little to make
i wish i had moneeh for some cool apps
are you implying i bought aseprite legitimately (i pirated it (drawing apps shouldn't fucking cost money))
say that to unity
i mean 2023
ITS NOT WORKING ON MY WINDOWS 11 😭😭😭 AND WAS WORKING LIKE FOR ME ON 202
how do you use the config?
you just edit the things after the =
example: in EnableMods=False, you'd change it to true. If you want to change the goose colours, you have to enable custom colours. hope this helps :)
uhh help its lagging my pc and i dont know how to delete the
if you hold esc it should close it and you can uninstall it
guys is this safe? i've downloaded the wrong things in the past i don't like downloading things w/o knowing if its safe and what exactly it is. i just want to know if it's a virus or not.
Nah it's safe!
Alright, I'm still not gonna download it because, to be honest I barely have any space and it's hard to extract files if yk what I mean
Yeah, I feel you on that.
Well... I opened it 100 times :) (R.I.P My PC)
YOU CANNOT STOP DUCK ARMY
YOU CANNOT STOP DUCK ARMY
YOU CANNOT STOP DUCK ARMY
YOU CANNOT STOP DUCK ARMY
quack
We all know what this needs. this. needs. doom music. (maybe when he is nabbing your cursor?)
I love this goose it’s pretty entertaining to play with a little goose who likes to pull out great memes from his basement
untitled goose game support you can kill the duck
so many honk
I downloaded this in comp-sci class and I now have 4 geese running through leaf piles and tracking mud all over VSCode - My teacher is very concerned XD
lol
WE ARE PRESSİNG ESC WİTH THİS DUCK
What coding language did you make the desktop goose in? I was wanting to make a program with a similar concept, but with turtles.
And unsurprisingly, the goose can't nab your mouse if you're using a drawing tablet.
it is not downloading
Make mobile
You know what's better than making it mobile? Make an Linux version for Chromebooks/Chromeboxes! Good suggestion btw! (Also, they need to update the MacOS version)
dawg I'm ON MOBILE-
I LOVE IT!!! so hard to find anything besides a visual novel that runs on my crusty old macbook but my silly goose (I named him Gus) works just fine!! He's easy to switch on and off (and does so immediately) and hes so silly :) I love gus, thank you so much for making this!!
It doesn't work for me 😭 i tried everything and i downloaded it doesnt work.
pls help
What computer are you on?
actually it works thank you though
no problem
i will pet a goose instead.
ok good
press and hold Esc to get rid of the goose
task manager
If you're on mac you can open the desktop goose application again, it will pull up a little settings menu. From there just click "quit desktop goose". Idk how it works on windows tho lol
my goose has left mud tracks all over your comment
I got scared bc the download only said mac 😭 but I found the windows file
(now how do i get rid of this little shit)
task manager
guys if you want to ask something ask me
how to find the .txt file?? i dowload it and there's only 2 folders in it, when i click there's nothing happens
If you mean the texts that the goose says, they are in assets and then in text
this is not a virus its just a goose that are in your screen
correct, and to stop him, use task manager
or hold esc for 10 seconds
yeah
~le honk
It would be cool if you can punish the duck for taking your mouse
just hold esc for 10 seconds,he'll cease to exist
thanks mate
does anyone know how to turn off the memes and notepads? i just want this lil guy to run around
probably settings (i think it comes with the goose)
does what it says on the tin. he gives me cute messages and memes and is indeed an asshole.
This makes me want to be nicer to ppl in the comments of this website! (I'm still not gonna be nicer)
i need someone to mod it for him to be a protogen or something like that
wow your stuff i so cool
virus but not virus but cute but chaotic- AHHHH HE HAS MY MOUSE AAAAAAA
:))
wont run on temu dishwasher
i know right
中国人集合!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
好i
