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!

bruh.... :/ I think I regretted downloading this application
开发者你好,我试用了您的产品,并提供几点建议如下,如果您有兴趣,可以针对作一下功能优化。
1.当鹅正在运行中时,用户按下"alt+tab",会有显示“鹅的窗口”,如果这可以隐藏,将很好。
2.当鹅正在运行中时,如果可以在桌面托盘区有应用图标可进行设置管理,将为更佳。
3.“鹅”目前是存在于文件夹中,是否可以打包为一个独立的exe程序,这样会很简洁。
Hi developer, I have tried your product and I would like to offer a few suggestions, if you are interested, you can optimize the functionality. 1. When Goose is running, the user presses “alt+tab”, it will show the “Goose window”, if this can be hidden, it will be very good. 2. When Goose is running, it would be better if there is an application icon in the desktop tray area that can be set and managed. 3. “Goose” currently exists in a folder, whether it can be packaged as a separate exe program, this will be very simple.
GUYS DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS! IT HAVE VIRUS IN IT!
Thats because some antiviruses thinks that just for moving your mouse and put memes on your screen is a virus and is 9 of 66 antiviruses so that means no this is not a virus
HELP ITS GOT MY MOUSE
so basically its not a virus and to quit you press "esc"?
yes
I LOVE THIS
how can I disable it?
长按“esc”
thanks
yoo.. It doesn't work
question before i download the viris, can you like... pause it?
its not a fucking virus and yea
:D
this truely kills my sadness thankyou
i love you duck thing
Is this a virus? cuz i want to damload it
Nope! I've downloaded this many times, and I've never gotten a virus. Plus it's by a verified creator, so i wouldn't worry.
Thank you!
I would love a feature where if you rub your cursor over him to pet, he reacts to it, like closes his eyes or sum.
My friend put this on my computer, and I thought I had a virus 10/10.
Lol
Any way i can make it show up on my windows login screen?
make it so that drawing a box on the desktop traps him?
that would be funny
goose

goose is friend

\
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
