Staring at a screen for hours, a desktop can feel a little bare. FatFish Pet Smart Companion lifts a desktop pet out of the browser and turns it into a fully self-contained app. No browser needed, no extra plugins, no configuration. Download, double-click, and a small translucent fish starts floating on your desktop, always on top, frameless, and quiet; it parks itself in the system tray with a tiny fish icon so it never adds a window to your taskbar.

Its core strength is reading your work rhythm. It ships with fifteen built-in expressions. When idle it dozes off and wanders around the screen on its own. Once it detects a running DeepSeek Harness session, it switches to real-time follow mode, mirroring your live status — thinking, working, awaiting approval, task done, request failed — and pops a small speech bubble above its head to report progress. Interaction is simple and playful: single-click to feed it, right-click for a play session, drag to reposition, scroll to resize. Position and size are remembered across restarts.

Who is it for? Developers who want gentle desktop company without constant notifications. DSH users who would like a little fish reflecting their work cadence in real time. Or anyone who thinks a blinking, strolling fish on the desktop is a small, wholesome treat. Windows (NSIS installer or portable) and Linux (AppImage or RPM) builds are available.
