Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What it is
Desklings is desktop companion software released October 15, 2026 at $3.19.
It turns the thin strip above your taskbar into a tiny home.
Doodle-style creatures wander, nap, peek at your cursor and visit decorations.
They persist while you work, study or play.
Designed not to get in the way
Clicks pass straight through to your windows, so it never blocks a button.
The strip hides itself when a fullscreen game or video is running.
That combination is what separates it from a pet that demands attention.
There is nothing to maintain: nobody ever gets hungry and there is nothing to look after.
Interaction
Rub a friend with your cursor and it closes its eyes while little hearts float up.
Pick one up and it dangles from your cursor; flick it and it tumbles across the desk.
It bounces off the nest and gets a little dizzy.
Friends show how they feel with tiny doodle emotes, and scattering snacks brings them running.
Focus sessions and collecting
Leave it running and the egg in the nest slowly warms up, then hatches on its own.
To hatch sooner, click the nest and start a focus session of 15 to 120 minutes.
When the session ends the egg hatches immediately, with better odds of a rare friend and more ink.
That turns productivity into the progression system rather than a separate timer app.
