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

I want to make the goose smaller but idk if I ca
HOW DO I DELETE ITPLEASE
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
this virus soo cool
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

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
THERE ARE TWO OF THEMMMMMMM
HOW DO I KILL IT
try restarting your PC or whatever you have it on, that's how I got rid off it
or ctrl alt delete
or hold esc
Ctrl + Shift + ESC to open task manager and there find it or open the tray and find it there
Hold escape
hold esc
ctrl+shift+esc will take u to the take manager , u can stop it from there (hopefully)
Shotgun.
for people who can't run it, open the file and run the application from it directly
he is so lovely. He has not stopped tormenting me since i got him. but i love him. As i type this he pulled up a pop up that says 'i cause problems on purpose'. please get this goose he is very silly
i got him to bite my cursor, pressed SHIFT+WINDOWS+S for the screenshot menu, held the mouse cursor, watch what the goose would crop
SO CUTE!
I would write a negative comment but the goose has stolen my cursor
Hehehehehe
this is a disgusting sketchy virus, you musn't download it

Recording the entire screen is probably the best solution.
Or recording the entire screen, or idk

It would be a cute idea to make a desktop shark buddy too! :] adorable duck!
