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 10.13+!
NOTE: I am not affiliated with House House or Panic. This is a different goose. Direct support questions to the Discord!
0.2 UPDATE:
- Put whatever memes you want in the assets folder! Goose will bring them.
- Added GIF support!
- Hack 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

CAN YOU PLS MAKE IT FOR WINDOWS 10????!!!!
I wonder how it's made. What tools did you use? What language?
Generally curious about inner workings of such an application.
how do you edit the files to make it more aggressive? i tried but i don’t understand how to do it :(
open notepad and under "File" click on "Open". Locate the Goose folder. Above the "Open" button in the file explrer window, click on the box that says textfiles and select "All Files". then you can select the config.goos file and open it. there is a line where it says "CanAttackAtRandom=False". Simply change "Flase" to "True", and after you relaunch the desktop goose exe (you have to close it via the task manager) the duck will randomly steal your mouse cursor. that what the developer meant with making it more aggressive. hope that helped :)
Can you make it able to install on Chromebook please!
hi, I noticed you made a goose from Macs but it only works for mac 10.13 and later, I have a 10.12.6 do you think you'd be able to make one that works for earlier Macs? no rush, if you can't don't worry about it.
How do I unistall?
It's simple delete the original folder
Can you please make it use able on chrome books by march plz im not trying to rush you but plz do it.
can someone PLEASE tell me step by step how to open and use it on mac. i will acctually love you because ive tried EVERYTHING!
i have the same issue
It's only working with Mac OS versions 10.15 and above at the moment. A fix for older versions is being worked on.
Fix released!
you click download and if you want to donate money you put the amount and payment, if not then click "no thanks just take me to the downloads". then click download (the one that says Mac) then it'll start downloading and when it done it'll bring you to a file where you can read some stuff about it. then click on the goose and thats it. hope I helped :)
please please please make it available for Chromebooks
Dear Devolper, I don't know how to make the goose attack, if someone could help that would be great!
click it. or close windows. or edit the config file and set "True" for random attacks

Hold ESC. I recommend you ask on the Discord for these things in the future: https://discord.gg/B5sUeDC
ah, cheers. and will do :)
Please develop goose accessories
I wish to dress mine up in a hat
Or have a big ass
This is out as a mod actually: https://desktopgooseunofficial.github.io/ResourceHub/mods/hatgoos.html
This is what life means.

Are you blind? It's out for Mac now.
This is great! Multiple monitor support maybe?
This is the next step in the evolution of gaming. There's nothing that isn't better with more geese. I did the world a favor and ran some scientific tests to determine this. I even play Untitled Goose Game with more geese!

my administrator blocked this on my computer :(
This is amazing, i love my brand new goose friend. 11/10, would recommend
It doesnt seem to work with 2 monitors in windows 10
Does it not work for Windows 10?
It is an amazing download and I highly recommend, the only bug i have found is that if you evict as the goose is dragging your mouse, your mouse is stuck in position and is unable to move as if the goose still had the mouse. I hope you keep up the great work <3
<3

I love this so much, I managed for the goose to play the Zelda shop theme and make him instead of honk wry every now and then this is great, I still yet to see him bring out gifs

How do you add your own gifs? When I try to hit "add" in the 7 zip program under Images in Assets, it says "operation not supported". What am I doing wrong?
