They run from your cursor
Move the mouse close and they scatter — quick, twitchy, surprisingly hard to catch. Chase them across the screen if you can.
GOKIs drops cute little critters onto your Mac. They scurry away from your cursor, hide in the corners, and quietly liven up your desktop.
A short story
They're small. They're fast. They're surprisingly good at hiding.
Some say their ancestors have been around for millions of years — real survivors that have outlived dinosaurs, ice ages, and at least two software companies.
You might have seen one before. Maybe in your kitchen. Maybe late at night, just out of the corner of your eye.
You know what we're talking about.
Why GOKIs
Just enough chaos to make you smile. Never enough to slow you down.
Move the mouse close and they scatter — quick, twitchy, surprisingly hard to catch. Chase them across the screen if you can.
Idle for a moment and they slip behind your windows, into the edges of your desktop. Real survivors.
Show it off on a friend's Mac and watch their reaction. Results may vary — sharing is caring.
Or keep them for yourself. A tiny bit of chaos that quietly makes your desktop feel alive.
Native macOS app. Tiny footprint, runs in the background, stays out of your way.
Pick the count (1 to 100,000), choose your display style, or hide them all from the menu bar.
