Life with a duck
A desk buddy that notices you.
It reacts to what you do, gets up to its own little routines, and is always up for a pet.
Little things to discover
It reads a book, juggles a ball, plays with its toys and sneezes at the worst moment. Stick around and you will catch new ones.
Perches on your windows
It hops up onto the window you are using, hangs out on top, and climbs down when you close it.
Made for fidgeting
Pet it, pick it up, fling it across the screen. It always pops back up. Try the one at the top of this page.

if you want it
See where your day went.
All off until you turn them on. The duck is a duck first.
A summary of your day
How long you focused, your breaks, and a timeline of where the time went.
Website blocking
Open a site you blocked and the duck stomps it shut.
Focus sessions
Start a Pomodoro and the duck settles in with a book. Your focus score climbs while you work and dips when you drift.
Stay on task
Keep your tasks next to the duck, tick them off as you go, and it can remind you about them later.
And more.
Minigames
Keep Up.
Tap Space as the ball lands and the duck heads it back up. It speeds up as you go. Miss once and it is over.
Beat your best, then beat your friends on the Steam leaderboard.
Bring friends
Have a party of up to 4.
Invite Steam friends and their ducks show up on your screen. Watch them type, swap messages and emotes, and focus together.
It stays on your machine.
What the duck learns about your day lives in a file on your computer. It notices that you type, never what you type, and app tracking is off until you turn it on.
System requirements
Light enough to leave running all day. The duck draws itself as a transparent overlay on your desktop.
