What is a desktop pet?
A desktop pet is a small animal that lives on your screen, on top of your windows, while you work. It wanders about, takes naps and reacts when you click or pick it up. Bisqit is one, with one extra thing: it looks after your focus.
Life with Bisqit
- Give your dog a name when you set it up.
- It wanders along the bottom of your screen while you work.
- Click it and it lies down for a nap. Click again to wake it.
- Drag it to pick it up, and drop it anywhere you like.
- Snooze or pause it from its menu whenever you need a break.
Pick your dog
Choose a lifelike dog or a drawn puppy. There are four ready-made lifelike dogs, or you can make one from a photo of your own dog.
Its job: closing your distractions
Tell Bisqit what you do and which sites eat your time. While it's on duty, if you stay on a distraction for longer than your patience setting (a minute, unless you change it), the dog runs up to the tab and slaps it closed.
Changed your mind? Grab the dog before its paw lands. The tab stays open and you get 70 more seconds. Distracting apps, like games, are tucked away rather than quit, so you never lose unsaved work.
Mac and Windows
Bisqit runs on macOS 13 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel, and on 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. There's no browser extension to install.
Questions
Is Bisqit free?
It's free to download and try: during setup, the dog closes a real YouTube tab in front of you. To keep it on your screen after that, you need a subscription. What's free and what isn't.
Is it safe?
Bisqit never reads what's on a page and never records what you type. To spot distractions it reads window titles and tab addresses, and sends the ones it doesn't recognise to an AI to judge. Here's exactly what it sees and sends.
Can it close something I need?
It only goes after things it judges to be distractions, and you can always catch it in time. If it gets one wrong, choose Not a drift and it leaves that page alone from then on.
