A day together
Kira's first day
From her first stretch to her evening nap — this is what a day with a DeskPup looks like.

Wakes up when you do
Your real dog,
living on your desktop.
Meet Kira, the first DeskPup. She wanders while you work, naps when you step away, and looks up the moment you're back.
Custom pet portraits take weeks. Your own dog is painted today, alive on your desk within a day.

A little life on your screen.
She wanders
Kira walks the dock, naps, and pokes around on her own. A real presence — not a sticker pinned in a corner.
She's yours
Made from your dog's face, coat, and markings. The first time she looks up, you just know: that's mine.
She's good company
A warm bit of home on the screen you stare at all day. Quietly there, glad to see you every time you look up.
Upload a few photos. Meet them again.
We spent a year teaching our system what makes your dog your dog — so it paints a soft, lifelike version from a handful of snapshots and brings them to life on your desktop, their coat, their markings, their look and all.

Not a pet. Your pet.
- Goes by their name
- The whole app speaks their name. Their dock, their home — not some mascot's.
- Looks like them
- Their coat, their markings, their face. Recognisably yours, down to the details.
- Naps when you're away
- Curls up and dozes off when your Mac goes quiet, just like the real thing.
- Says hi when you're back
- Perks up and looks over the second you unlock your screen.
Coming to iPhone
Your pup, in your pocket.
One pet, made once, alive on every screen you own. She naps on your Lock Screen, glances back from StandBy, and nudges you when it's time for a walk.
- On your Lock Screen and Home Screen
- A nightstand buddy in StandBy
- Gentle reminders in the Dynamic Island
Coming to iPhone — included with your pet, at no extra cost, when it ships.

You never buy blind.
Upload her photos and we'll paint her. Re-roll as many looks as you like — free — until one makes you say that's her. Only then do we bring her to life.

- Yours forever — one payment, no subscription
- On Mac now — coming to iPhone, included
- Their name, their looks, their temperament
- Approve every look before we bring her to life
You approve every look before we bring her to life. And if the finished pet doesn't feel like them, we remake her free, once — likeness is on us.
Good things to know
Download DeskPup free and meet Kira right away. When you're ready to make your own, you check out and upload 5–8 photos of your dog right there in your order — guided slots walk you through the shots that help most. We paint a soft, lifelike illustrated version of them, you pick your favourite look, and then we bring it to life as a full companion for your Mac (iPhone coming next).
5–8 clear, well-lit photos: a side profile, a front view, and a few of your dog standing, sitting, and lying down. Guided slots in your order show you exactly what to upload, and sharp light with the full body in frame makes the biggest difference. You'll see the guidelines before you pay.
Not weeks. You upload your photos right after checkout and pick your favourite painted look today. Your finished, living pet follows within a day — we'll let you know the moment they're ready to come home to your desk.
You never buy blind. Before we bring your pet to life you approve the look — and you can re-roll as many looks as you like, free, until one makes you say that's her. Before generation begins you can get a full refund any time, no questions asked; after that your pet is custom-made to order. And if the finished pet doesn't feel like them, we remake her free, once — likeness is on us.
DeskPup runs on macOS 14 and later today. iPhone is coming next — Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets, StandBy, and the Dynamic Island — and it'll be included with your pet at no extra cost when it ships.
No. Your pet is a one-time £69 (or $69 / €69) purchase and you own it — and all of its aliveness — forever.
Right now DeskPup is dogs-first — that's what we've tuned the likeness for. Cats and other species are a fast-follow. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment they're ready.
No. Kira is a lightweight overlay that naps when you're busy and stays out of your way. She sits on top of or behind your windows however you like.
Meet Kira today. Make your own when you're ready.
Free to download. No account, no card. Just a good dog on your desktop.
