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!

[And if you wanna support my work, I made some new things you can check out!]
Fidget Physics: Turn your entire desktop into a literal sandbox!
Desktop Cat Cursor: Transform your ordinary mouse cursor into its eternal nemesis: a cat paw
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now, back to goose stuff...

- Adds an official mod to let Desktop Goose play in leaf piles! See autumn.txt in the files for more!
*Mac doesn't support mods yet. Wait for 2023. :)
0.3 UPDATE:
- NEW, OFFICIAL MODDING API! Join the discord discord.gg/xZFRmPT and check the #goose-mods channel for more info on this :D

From 0.2+:
- Unlimited memes! Put whatever memes you want in the assets folder! Goose will bring them.
- Added GIF support!

i seriously can't get rid of him
so i might have got a glitch and i can't find the app in finder and now i have a permanent goose
is there a way i can get it on my 2. screen?
Linux support? 🥺
the wine app works but he is a bit slow https://www.winehq.org/
i dowloaded it but he isn't there, what's going on?
EDIT:figured out you gotta open it in the files
I can't even get it it's like $2,000 expensive that I can get
Can't you just hit the "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" button?
Sooo, I wouldn't recomend it because it deleated stuff from my computer right after I installed and some other problems.
ive never had that happen
can you add linux support
the wine app works but he is a bit slow https://www.winehq.org/

dude it slowed down my entire pc
theres a way to remove it (hold esc to remove goose it will work)
HELP I ACCENDENTLY SPAWEND TWO HOW DO I GET RID OF ONE?
just end them in task manager
or jusy hold down esc
Just wanna make sure this ain't malware or anything, my last computer started having complications and eventually broke down SPECIFICALLY after downloading it (And other unrelated issues).
Oh jeez I'm so glad you posted this, I just found it and thought about downloading it
wait so is it a virus? im 12 and really want this because it looks really fun and cute! but if its a virus ill be sad
Idk I might've downloaded the wrong one last time or something, but that's why I'm asking. No one else seems to have a problem with it tho
its fine for me
It is not a virus. I have used it a lot and watched others use it, and it works fine with no warnings or signs of viruses. I think you are fine..
There's no sound!
VERY CUTE XD
pain but goose love it
HOW DO YOU STOP IT
click on Close Goose.bat
hold es
Go to the files and click close goose
duck
Very fun!
i love it!
I love it! however, i would love if there was an option to pause it
有的，长按ESC
Can it be set to Spanish?
change the text of .txt files to spanish
thanks
I wanna know if it is possible to prevent the goose from dragging out the memes and only drag out the txt, because the meme is too big on the computer, or if it is possible to adjust the size of the picture frame?
config stuff with all pictures delete all the pictures or resize them
You can go to the files and delete all of the images in the folder for the memes, and then he has nothing to drag out but the text messages
I can't configure him, anyone able to help?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS SO SILLY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (multiple moniter support?)
I couldn't figure out how to delete him and I ended up deleted his file and now he's just stuck on my screen lol I still cant get rid of him
hold escape, it's described more clearly in the "README" file
That mf put a fuckin big red X on my screen
that duck put a pic of porn on my pc you lucky
Ooo damn :/ Hopefully you were alone lol
😭🙏🏾
WHAT (lol)
no it didnt if you look in files there is none of that .. content
thought it would be fun, but nah (little shit again grabbed my mouse) it's kinda frustrating, but hey it's loving at the same time. awww cute little duckyyyy i love him (again grabbed it haha)
its a goose...
i love him
It would be cool if you could mess with the duck with your curser
You can! If you click him, it instantly makes him chase your mouse
the hitbox is a little small sometimes and it does click the thing that is behind him too, so not the best, but it is there!
