DoodlePin app icon: a white blob wearing a party hat

DoodlePin

Tiny doodle pets that live on your Mac desktop.

Download for Mac
Eleven DoodlePin pets in a row: a cat in sunglasses, a dog in a crown, a bunny, a blob in a party hat, a penguin in a top hat, a ghost with a halo, a frog, a bear in a beanie, an alien, a robot in a cap and a cloud in a wizard hat

What they get up to

Pick from 11 doodles, give them names, and keep up to 8 on screen at once. They walk along the Dock, hop, roll and float, and say hi when they bump into each other.

Dance to your music

Headphones on whenever Apple Music or Spotify is playing.

Play fetch

Throw a ball. They chase it, catch it and toss it back to your cursor.

Feed them treats

Every species has a favourite. The dog wants a bone.

Dress them up

Nine hats and three pairs of glasses, from crowns to wizard hats.

Throw them around

Grab a pet and fling it. It bounces, or drifts if it's a ghost.

Keep an eye on your day

A heads-up before meetings, cheers when you plug in, sweat when the battery runs low.

Install

Two ways. Both put DoodlePin in your Applications folder and open it. Look for the blob face in your menu bar.

Quickest

One line in Terminal

Open Terminal (press ⌘ Space, type “Terminal”), paste this and press Return:

curl -fsSL https://xoftverse.com/doodle-pin/install.sh | bash
Prefer clicking?

Download the zip

  1. Download DoodlePin.zip and double-click it to unzip.
  2. Open Terminal, type bash (with a space), then drag install.sh from the unzipped folder into the window.
  3. Press Return.

Why Terminal? DoodlePin isn't notarized by Apple yet, so macOS would refuse to open it with a double-click. The installer clears the “downloaded from the internet” flag on DoodlePin only, so it opens normally. To remove it later, run bash install.sh --uninstall.

Collects nothing

No accounts, no analytics, no ads. DoodlePin never connects to the internet, so nothing it sees ever leaves your Mac. Read the privacy policy.
