App 10 of 100 · A desktop cat for macOS
You do your work. I'm right here.
Lingxi is a quiet 3D cat that lives on your desktop. It wanders, naps and chases yarn — and when your AI agent finishes, fails or needs you, it comes to tell you.
Free for personal use · macOS 12+ · Apple Silicon & Intel
The cat on this page is the real app, running in your browser. Move your cursor near it — or click it.
01 — It watches your agents
Stop staring at the terminal.
Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client. When a task finishes, fails, or stops to ask for permission, Lingxi walks over and tells you — with a face, a gesture and a little speech bubble.

Install the app once and every integration above finds it — most will even install it for you if it is missing.
02 — It has a life of its own
Go on. Give it something to chase.
Between tasks, Lingxi just lives: it strolls along the edge of your screen, washes its face, naps, and steps out of your cursor's way. Put a toy down and see what it does.

03 — Two looks
Blocky, or fluffy.
04 — Quiet by design
A good cat knows when to sleep.
- i.
Stays out of your way
Turn on “Don't disturb while typing” and it keeps clear of the line you're editing. It checks where the caret is — never what you type.
- ii.
Costs nothing when you're away
Hide it, lock the screen or let the Mac sleep, and it stops moving and stops rendering.
- iii.
Keeps nothing it doesn't need
Memories, reminders and settings stay on your Mac. No cursor tracking. Interaction counts live in memory and vanish on restart.
- iv.
Never acts for you
It only watches task status. It can't approve, run or change anything your agent does.
