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!

goose
when playing games he like caps the fps to 20-30 how can I fix this
goose is friend
how to close the goose i need him not here right now
\
you hold esc
thanks
Np
i wanna report a bug that i cant remove a folder its the sound one
i wanna remove it because i dont wanna hear sounds
You can disable audio in the config.ini file :)
cute project:)
could i disable or close the goose whenever i want?
whenever I try to evict it, the pop-up thing the just disappears what can I do?
Whenever i open it a giant blue box covers my screen
bro the giant blue box is when all the file explorer running apps are closed (so the goose app didnt cover the screen with blue)
wish there is a apple m chip version or universal. current one only works on intel Mac
works for me just fine
I want this but idk if it is safe.
it is, but it's annoying. People just call it a virus for fun it's not actually unsafe
Linux plz!
Happy Birthday, GooseDesktop.exe !!! 🎂
doesn't open. please fix
I Found How U Can Open It
Step 1: Open WinRAR
Step 2: Find Desktop Goose
Step 3: Open GooseDesktop.exe
And Ur Done! Ur Goose Is There
噢，我们以后可以给这个小混蛋喂食或穿衣服吗？我希望能多和它互动
HEY! If you are stuck by Goose, Hold Esc untill the top left will Kill this little goose.
no eviction means kickout
Innocent little goose gets killed💀💀💀
is this safe?
it's safe, but looks annoying.
much more fun when you run it 4 times at once
okay
sadly do not work for me i realy want it tho
how do i disable all the memes?
You can't.
You just need to delete all of them go to assets and then text and images and delete everything
Goose doesn't have any beef with the ROG virtual pet on my PC. Yet.
10/10
No.
i luached it.... theres no goose i see nothing ive lauched and then waited but still nothing? anyone got an answer?
Are you on linux? Or are you in Mac or Windows you need to download the right file, there's a Mac one and a Windows one.
I want to make the goose smaller but idk if I ca
HOW DO I DELETE ITPLEASE
hold esc
hold escape, it evicts the goose after like 10 seconds.
This is awesome, thank you!
I'm going to disguise this as a normal program and send it to my friend to deal with.
I love them so so so much
aaaaand now one stole my mouse
I used Desktop Goose Customizer (lim10dev.github.io) to change the colors
I am bread
and that thing... it scares me
goose of hate
(he hates you)
this virus soo cool
It's not a virus. It's a computer buddy. If you want to remove it, hold ESC. (escape)
mine wont launch im on windows pls text back
Have you tried extracting the .zip file?
I want him to like actchlly can touch my apps or even touch things like that
i kind of it looks fine
you can customize a duck https://lim10dev.github.io/goose-customizer/
Love it couple things i would love to see!! If possible.
Multiple Monitor support allowing it to walk over multiple monitors.
Adding random randomly the word honk to text bars when it honks.
Perhaps open up internet windows too? Like a way that it can open up youtube videos would be very funny.
Picking up the goose would be nice to drag him to another location.
Uhm goose creating a puddle to swim in from time to time. Perhaps when it leaves it has the muddy feet again. So that the muddy feet dont only happen on the side of the monitor.
Perhaps some birdpoop somewhere.
Tho multiple monitor support, OR allowing me to pick which monitor it walks around in is probably what i would love the most. Cuss some games hide the goose which is sad xD
it wont work when i try to launch it do i need mac bc im on windows
i like this little fellow-... ah, hold on hes just put an image on my screen.
wait no give me back my cursor..
SOS HELP
good
he opened a notepad saying i cause problems on purpose but i still like whenever i close something he opens he chases and grabs my cursor but i still like him but also hate him oh and he opened a notepad saying am goose hjonk
