Read the full description
CatCode is a tiny pixel pet on your Windows desktop that celebrates the moment Claude Code, Codex or Cursor finishes a task, so you know your agent is done without watching the terminal. Between runs: a pomodoro timer, water/stretch reminders and Desktop-Goose-style play. 6 skins. One-time $5, no subscription, runs locally. Windows only; unsigned build, so SmartScreen may warn on first launch (More info → Run anyway).
