Taskbar Cat is an idea I’ve had since August 2024.
It was inspired by RunCat 360, a program that makes a running cat icon appear inside your Windows taskbar and goes faster depending on your cpu speed. My idea was more of a companion, not a pc monitor. I wanted to my OC, my character, watching me as I did whatever I was doing!
I partially implemented this on my website, as you read this you can probably see Starstrike looking at you from the bottom-right corner of your screen (not on mobile, sadly).
And now, just over a year later, I release Taskbar Cat for Windows. A small (or large, if you change the size) cat that sits on top of your taskbar and watches you study, relax, and work.
You can
– Change the size
– Change the vertical and horizontal positions
– Set it to start on boot
And also easily uninstall or quit the program. To start/install it again, simply open the .exe file.
Microsoft Defender will warn you when you try to install it, and say that it is unsafe. This is because I haven’t gotten a signed certificate for it yet. I assure you ,it’s safe! If you still have doubts, you can take a look a the source code here: https://github.com/kattcrazy/taskbar-cat
