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

i love this duck
when it brought on mud i thought it just started shitting everywhere for a moment...10/10 would recommend
can the goose do my taxes?
I have two monitors is there any way for him/her to transfer between them?
Can a config entry be added to set a max framerate? currently he locks your screen to ~30fps, i had to manually set him to 240hz in the nvidia control panel

Can you make one for chrome OS I have a Chromebook and would like to mess around with this and tell you how fast my computer crashes.
*honk*

Will there be an update for macOS?
Will there be a linux version someday?
oh yeah a linux version https://github.com/Ibrahim2750mi/linux-goose
nope !! i just downloaded it n the goose is so cute
yes. the goose steals your cursor and obstructs your vision with memes. (joke)
if you're using virustotal, you also need to have some knowledge on anything. either you're 3 years old or incredibly stupid to think that's a virus.
Awesome Goose. I use it alongside CatCompanion. My only complaint is not having the option to disable/enable the dragging of windows of memes and messages on screen.
There is a way to do that, I did it some time ago. Only I cant tell you because I forgot what file to change.
same
kill me
This IS VIRUS
a virus destroys your pc
this destroys your sanity
they are not the same
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
THANK YOU
np
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
Do you think this is even possible? Well, of course it's possible, but then he'll just dirty the screen and beat around the bush
Can you make a build for linux?
oh yeah a linux version https://github.com/Ibrahim2750mi/linux-goose
Thanks!
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.
nobody is reading all of that.
i did :p
i did
i did
don't make assumptions, kids
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
YOU CANT
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.
he gos invisible on my left monitor
can you help
i dont think is a good think guys when you do that goose WILL be a virus
its not i virus idiot
sounds like something a GOOSE would type
yea
ANDROID VERSION pls
sounds like someone would release one
I don't know how you expect this to go on android
he steal your whole finger instead of your cursor and gives you surgery to give it back
Faça a versão Android.
Make Linux version.
oh yeah a linux version would be great
EDIT: https://github.com/Ibrahim2750mi/linux-goose
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 :)
