Fetch, properly
Throw a ball and it races off, brings it back and asks “Again?”. Grab the ball and fling it: it bounces off the edges of your screen. Land one on its head for a “Bonk!”
Types along with you
“Typing along with you!”
Start typing and it hops onto a tiny laptop, paws taking turns. It notices only that a key was pressed, never what you type.
Chases the beachball
“Uh oh, Xcode isn't responding.”
When an app hangs, a little spinning rainbow ball appears and your pet chases it along the Dock until the app recovers.
Charges with you
“Charging! Thanks!” → “Fully charged!”
Low battery means it drags a charger by the plug. Plug in and it crackles with tiny lightning. At full charge it does a backflip.
Takes out the trash
“Taking out the trash!”
Empty the Trash and it trots over with a bulging bin bag, tosses it in and shakes off.
Sniffs new badges
“Sniff sniff… you've got something new!”
A new badge on a Dock icon? It walks over and investigates.
Answers the bounce
“Woof! Mail's calling.”
When an app bounces for attention, it hops right beside it.
Digs up your downloads
“Ooh, your download's here!”
A finished download or AirDrop gets dug up from under the Dock like a bone. Optional; macOS asks first.
Poses for screenshots
“Say cheese!”
Press ⇧⌘4 and it sits up with a paw out. A soft flash goes off when you take the shot.
Feels the heat
“Phew! Your Mac is running hot.”
When your Mac runs hot it pants and fans itself with a paper fan.
Juggles when memory is tight
“Too many things at once!”
Low memory? It juggles three balls on its nose, sweating.
Sits on the suitcase
“Your disk is almost full!”
When storage runs low it sits on an overfull suitcase.
Puzzles over the cable
“Uh oh, the internet's down.” → “We're back online!”
When the Wi-Fi drops it sits beside an unplugged cable with a bobbing question mark.
Sniffs your drives
“Sniff sniff… a new drive!” → “Bye-bye, drive!”
Plug in a USB drive or SD card and it checks it out. Eject it and it waves goodbye.
Dances to your music
“Love this song!”
Play something in Music or Spotify and it bounces, sways and wags, with notes floating up. With headphones connected it wears a tiny pair too.
Flinches when you mute
“Shh… all quiet.”
Ears flat, for just a moment.
Shouts back
“WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?”
Type with Caps Lock on and see.
Puts on sunglasses
“Whoa, bright!”
Switch to Light mode and on go the shades.
Naps when you're away
“Zzz… wake me when you're back.”
Step away for five minutes and it curls up nose-to-tail. When you come back it stretches and says good morning.
