A little company
for your Mac.
Hangbuddy is an original, physics-driven desktop companion that quietly dangles from the top of your screen. Give it a gentle flick, slide its perch, or tuck it away instantly with ⌥Space.
In-browser simulation of the app's physics engine. Exact physics may slightly differ.
Always delightful, never in the way.
Watch how Hangbuddy quietly dangles at the top of your workspace, effortlessly settling whenever you need to focus.
Quiet by design. Always settles.
Unlike distracting bouncy desktop pets, Hangbuddy is built on a 120 Hz fixed-step Verlet rope simulator with bounded elasticity. Motion smoothly dampens and gently comes to a full rest.
- ✓ Bounded 30% bungee ceiling prevents runaway energy
- ✓ Automatic sleep state drops idle CPU usage to 0.0%
- ✓ Delta-time invariant tilt physics across 60 Hz & 120 Hz ProMotion

Lives right where you work.
Hangbuddy floats cleanly above full-screen Spaces and Stage Manager. Thanks to instant sub-millisecond mouse hit-testing, clicking transparent areas passes directly to your underlying IDE, browser, or terminal without dropped clicks.
- ✓ Reposition anywhere along the top bar with a simple pull
- ✓ Multi-display support with automatic display memory
- ✓ Zero accessibility permissions required
A whole cast to hang around.
