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!

Desktop Cat Cursor: Transform your ordinary mouse cursor into its eternal nemesis: a cat paw

*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!

I love it! however, i would love if there was an option to pause it
Can it be set to Spanish?
I wanna know if it is possible to prevent the goose from dragging out the memes and only drag out the txt, because the meme is too big on the computer, or if it is possible to adjust the size of the picture frame?
config stuff with all pictures delete all the pictures or resize them
I can't configure him, anyone able to help?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS SO SILLY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (multiple moniter support?)
I couldn't figure out how to delete him and I ended up deleted his file and now he's just stuck on my screen lol I still cant get rid of him

OH MY GOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH
is it supposed to go through 3 DIFFERENT FOLDERS just to get to the main one??? because if not, you should fix that! (please.)
it looks like it should work on linux but there's an orange background on it (yes it somehow ran kinda fine and even managed to create the meme windows the goose drags)
cute'st desktop pet
9 viruses in the file is crazy
literally lol
they're false positives by untrustworthy antiviruses and 4 of them read jokeware:goosedesktop or something along the lines of that
actually its not a virus
yeah i said false positives
what do I do with all these messages, close em'?
dont close them or the goose will grab ur mouse
run from the goose and it goes back to normal
Hi, is it possible for the goose to appear automatically on startup ?
i think yes? just add a shortcut to the startup folder (win+r then type in "shell:startup" then hit [ok] and put the goose shortcut in that folder.)
to remove it do win+r then type in "shell:startup" then hit [ok] and delete the shortcut in the folder
this is a virus fs

ChromeOS is a distribution of Linux, which is different to Mac and Windows. Mac and Windows programs do not run on Linux unless you have a program that specifically does that (such as Wine or Proton)
the game its for windows and mac but chromebooks are build with linux so when its released for linux dowload the linux one
