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

For people to delete one goose hold down esc and you will see a small bar in the corner wait for it to be finished and one goose will go

My launcher says the goose is not compatible with windows 10 64 BITS.
What can i do to make it work/compatible? D:
i have 5, how do you delete one i'm lagging (please)
Hold down Esc and it will delete it (there will be a small bar in the corner of your screen
Ty so much
do u have discord
make a android version
now i don't use iPhone but make
a version for that so people don't have to switch to android
Can you make a build for linux?
i made the goose say in not-epad i will destroy any drive >:)
i found out how to delete it but how do you get it back
open the file for the 2nd time
HOW TO DELTE PLEASE!
Just type CTRL + SHIFT + ESC or Control + Shift + Escape and then try and find the task in task manager. Once you find it click end task in the bottom right. Hopefully this helped ;)
literally just hold esc
nvm im stupid
hold esc
wait i already deleted it
darn
lol
cool
AMAZING! Its so fun, it is fully customizable, you can install mods if you want! Probably the best goose i have ever met. I know they say this a "virus" but it isn't. The reason it's KIND OF classified as malware is that the goose picks up you mouse without your consent (which you can disable in the configuration, and is not "malware" malware, it doesn't steal your bank account).
EDIT: its been a few days of using it (i always had it on my desktop its that fun) and i noticed some missing stuff that . if you get stuck about what to update in 0.32, here are some recommendations (note: i am not saying "oh you shouldn't install it, it has a lotta flaws!" its the exact opposite, INSTALL IT ITS AMAZING! im just giving ideas for the new update. its hard to come up with ideas sometimes.):
-adding an option to not disable but just tweak the volume in config.ini (as %)
-an official linux version
-tweaking speeds of certain actions (walking, chasing, etc.) in config.ini
-tweaking how common it is for the goose to steal your mouse randomly if the setting in config.ini is enabled
-disabling/tweaking the volume of honking or footstep sounds separately in config.ini
-adding an official mod library open to the community for then to add their own mods (using github maybe?)
-adding a few "training" options (eg. following mouse on command) enabled/disabled in config.ini
-disabling/enabling it dragging memes and/or messages to the screen in config.ini
-adding a few preset/example configs (default goose, trained goose, chaos goose etc.) (just an idea not necessary)
i'll add on the the list if i think of anything else.
Heyo, When I closed One Of The Gooses Popups I got a big red x. How To Fix?
wut?
Can you turn the sound off?
config.ini SilenceSounds = true
How do you get the mouse of him

This goose is the best thing I've ever downloaded for fun. Looooove the muddy prints. <3
Goose does seem a little confused with dual monitors, but that's not a big deal. I love them so much.

Faça a versão Android.
Make Linux version.
oh yeah a linux version would be great

Sooo good i love the app. The goose is just cute, and these windows showing all around the screen aren't even that annoying, when you know that this sweet white HONK-er just wanted to have some fun :D
Hello, would you be able to port this to Linux? I really like the idea of this, however, I use Linux and so cannot use it. Thank you if so and thank you for reading this if not :)

What a bugger! it's not working, even after deleting the files, there's a white circle moving at the corner sometimes.
its not working
Its a really good app and a funny idea i liked it but the goose use to much CPU on my laptop can the developer reduce the hardware usage
It only worked for a day. Next day the goose is nowhere to be found. Can't download it now. I'm from HongKong, is it restricted??

Sooo I can't get it to work :( this keeps popping up every time I launch it. Also tried running it as Admin but to no avail.
NVM I GOT IT TO WORK IM AN IDIOT I DOWNLOADED THE MAC VERSION FOR PC
this goose made me commit arson
wtf 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
dont download it its a virus!!!
its just a silly goose. it is not in fact a virus. if you want to close just do CTRL+ALT+DELETE then click task manager or just search it in the search bar.
or even easier click and hold esc
HELP!!!
IT WONT GO AWAY!!!!!
LOL just go to task manager and end task, it worked for me.
ctrl+alt+delete, then click on 'task manager' and select desktop goose, click end task :)
just hold escape
click and hold esc also lmao
Just hold escape
you should add a feature that allows you to put him in a cage so you can toggle him on and off
that would be amazing and pretty funny
