Kamoš | tiny friends for your Mac desktop

Your desktop just got a best friend

Tiny friends who live on your Mac. They wander around, climb your files, ride their wooden train and keep you company while you work.

Free · macOS 14 or later

They live on your desktop

Not in a window. Right between your folders, files and icons.

All aboard

Pull the wooden train set out of the menu bar and lay the track anywhere on your desktop. Pieces click together, ramps climb onto pillars, and whoever is nearby hops in for a ride.

Your desktop becomes their playground

Build them a playground

A wooden Ferris wheel, a ball pit, a game show sweeper and a wrecking ball. Drag one out of the menu bar and the crew moves right in.

Orange cannonballing into a ball pit while Apple peeks out of the balls — cannonball!

Apple jumping over a spinning foam sweeper arm while Orange is about to get knocked off a platform — jump. or don't.

Meet the crew

Eleven fruit and veggie friends. Keep one, or let the whole gang loose.

Apple, a photoreal apple with a shy doodle face — always a little worried, always first to help

Orange, a photoreal orange and a professional chiller — has never worried once in his life

Apple sprinting in panic with a lit bomb while Orange laughs — a true Looney Tunes moment

Orange cleaning the inside of your screen with a squeegee and a spray bottle — someone finally cleans your screen

Apple diving into a coral portal ring and popping out of a blue one — in one portal, out the other

Orange doing a kickflip on a tiny wooden skateboard — kickflip, first try

Weather happens

Rain, wind, a rainbow now and then, and the occasional tornado. Butterflies, beetles, robins and one very proud goose drop by too.

Apple riding on the back of a white goose — the goose gives rides. sometimes.

Still there after midnight

Late night deadline? You are not alone. Someone is sneaking around behind your windows.

Need to focus?

Calm mode keeps only the soft sounds, and nature sounds add birds by day and crickets at night. They can even sleep through your night and wake up with you.

Better with two

Add a second character and the games begin. Tennis, chases, rock paper scissors. Winner takes the desktop.

Orange wins rock paper scissors, Apple collapses in despair — they settle everything with rock paper scissors

Orange chasing Apple around a wobbling folder icon — and sometimes they just run laps

All the little things

The stuff you only notice on day three, and then can't live without.

They remember your birthday

Tell them the date once. When it comes around, the party hats go on, the goose flies a banner across your screen and everyone sings.

Every friend has a voice

Little mumbles, giggles and gasps. Each character sounds like nobody else, and the volume is one slider away.

Calm mode

Only the soft sounds. No screams, no burps, just a quiet little aquarium while you focus.

Nature sounds

Birds and butterflies by day, crickets after dark, cicadas on summer afternoons.

Naps and bedtime

They doze off now and then, or sleep through your night and wake up with you.

Stickers of your friends

Right click a character to copy it as a sticker, or save a whole sheet of poses for your chats.

Right where you left them

Quit, restart, come back tomorrow. Characters and toys are waiting exactly where they were.

Your files stay yours

They climb your icons and peek into folders, but never open, move or delete a thing. Kamoš only needs to know where your icons sit.

Coming soon

Your friends, as Kamoš characters

Snap a photo of your friend, your mom or your boss and Kamoš turns the face into a tiny living desktop buddy. We are still polishing it, so it stays locked for now.

Questions

Will it mess with my files?

Never. The characters climb on your desktop icons and peek into folders, but they never open, move or delete anything. Kamoš only needs to know where your icons are.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

Can I turn the sounds down?

Of course. There is a volume slider, Calm mode for only the soft sounds, and an option to stay quiet whenever the desktop is hidden behind your windows.

How do I get new toys?

Kamoš updates itself. When something new arrives, you will see it in the menu bar and one click installs it.

They can't wait to meet you

Drag, drop, best friends.
