BongoCat is an open-source interactive desktop pet that places an animated cat on the screen. The character reacts to keyboard, mouse, and game controller input with synchronized movements. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux systems using X11. Users can import custom models to change the cat’s appearance and create personalized desktop companions. The application is built with Tauri, combining a Rust backend with a Vue and TypeScript interface. It works completely offline and states that it does not collect user data. The repository also links to model conversion tools, downloadable community models, release packages, and contribution guidance.
