Deskbun is a tiny pixel bunny that lives on your Mac's desktop and helps you through your day. Start a focus session and Deskbun settles in beside you (just don't try petting mid-session). Deskbun keeps your to-do list and reminders in the menu bar, puts on a headset when you hop on a call, naps when you step away and lets you know when Claude Code, Codex or Cursor needs you. One-time purchase with lifetime updates, works on 2 Macs, no account, and nothing about your day leaves your Mac.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a desktop pixel-art companion with a to-do list, focus timer, and reminders, plus some call-detection hooks. These are standard macOS app features with sprite animation, all within reach of vibe coding.
