Remember Shimeji, Desktop Goose and eSheep? Deskling brings the desktop pet back, but it runs entirely in your browser. Hatch a tiny creature, pop it out, and it floats in a corner above every app while you work.
Click “Pop out” and Deskling opens an always-on-top mini window using Chrome and Edge’s Document Picture-in-Picture feature. Your pet stays visible over your code editor, Google Docs, Figma or Netflix — and you can still feed it and play with it from there.
Desktop pets used to mean downloading an .exe from a sketchy site. Deskling is just a web page: safe, free, and works on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Your pet is saved in your browser, or in the cloud with a free account.
Mochi the squishy rice-cake cat, Ember the tiny dragon, Boo the shy ghost, and Sprout the leafy blob. Each one blinks, bounces, naps, gets hungry and reacts to how you treat it.
Unlike other desktop pets, Deskling evolves through real focus sessions. Start a 15, 25 or 50 minute timer and your pet studies with you — every focused minute is 1 XP. Five stages: Baby, Kid, Teen, Adult and Legend.
Yes, completely free. There are no ads and no in-app purchases — coins for hats are earned by focusing.
Yes. Pop-out (always-on-top) mode works in Chrome and Edge on macOS, Windows and Linux. In Safari and Firefox it opens a small separate window instead.
No. Open deskling.vercel.app, hatch your pet and you’re done.
