Cats that run across the taskbar according to CPU and memory usage
About
- A desktop app in which a CPU cat and a memory cat run back and forth along the taskbar (the Dock on macOS), each running faster as its usage rises
- Inspired by RunCat, whose menu bar icon runs; it moves the cat onto the actual screen so usage can be seen at a glance
- Clicks pass through the cats to the windows underneath, and the cats hide automatically in full-screen apps such as games and presentations
- Fish accumulate as the cats run; fish can be spent to change a cat's color (20 options) or on a gacha draw for special skins (Ghost/Flash/Glitch Cat). It also shows the distance run today, based on the monitor's physical size
- Built with .NET 9 and Avalonia 11, supporting Windows and macOS from the same code. Distributed as a single exe on Windows and a dmg on macOS; runs immediately without sign-up
- Sends nothing except automatic update checks. Because it is not code-signed, a SmartScreen or macOS warning appears on first launch
- Supports Windows 10/11 and macOS 12 or later
- MIT license. The cat artwork comes from RunCat365 (Apache-2.0)
