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!

[And if you wanna support my work, I made some new things you can check out!]
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
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i was trying to play roblox with this guy and my computer blue screened, would recommend
A Linux build please
agreed. its been so long. where??
bro, idk actualy
Hi, So, a quick guide for this
if you go in Config, you can change certain things, you can also close the goose by going in it's files and running "Close_Goose"
you can also run DesktopGoose multiple times for more gooses.
very cool
how do i stop it when i have it and is it safe? actually pls answer
1: hold escape, 2: yes, its mainly capable of capturing the mouse and opening windows
i had 10 geese
modding this rn 👀
I love it!
BUG: If you open too many autumn mod geese (3 for me) you cant use your computer without restarting
is there a way to turn it off lol
nevermind
This is sooooo cool and your other work too I'm excited for what's next
Make an Android version, bro.
hi im trying to use desktop goose but everything goes gray and nothing except goose then when he is getting the meme app its fighting with the desktop goose app and meme app

funny
the people demand an update to the macOS version, please please please pretty please 🥺
i made the mud blood coloured :)

OYE UNA PREGUNTA ES UN VIRUS PERDON SE ME ACTIVO LAS MAYUSCULAS
De hecho, no es un virus. es una broma hecha por los creadores de un ganso basicamente es como un adware inofensivo solo te come 10/20 MB de RAM
I did a Cyberpatriots image. This was installed.
Never before have I felt more rage. How do I fix a computer when a goose tries to steal my mouse cursor whenever I try to change someone's password?
10/10
very goosey
beware yall, these are normally viruses and malware but this might not be either
no, this isn't a virus, it just acts like one, but doesnt do anything.
data wise no but this little demon wouldn't stop holding onto my mouse pointer i had to open up terminal on mac just to kill the application
no linux :( lol i get it theres like 1000 linux distros
.appimage and flatpak/hub exist.
No mods on Mac is a bummer, and I wish I could prevent the goose from dragging in new windows. Closing them is one thing, but my mouse cursor getting stolen when I close them goes from "haha geese suck that's silly" to making the desktop pet entirely unusable because of the frequency in which the goose does this. The config file should be capable of disabling that behavior.
Your right he is a jerk
WHEREISMYv0.31MAC?!??!!?!!?!?!!IWANTTOMAKEHIMASKFORBREAD wait you should do that
its 2026 and my mac cant work the 0.3 mod......,.,.,,.,., where do you get it
gos
its SO cute i love this silly goose
Help autumn mod not working?
You have to change the config thing in notepad to say EnableMods=True (line 3) and save it
HE IS ON MY SCREEN RIGHT NOW
I love goose
