Desk Tank is a hand-drawn desktop pet that wanders along your computer’s Dock or taskbar and eats pellets delivered by your cursor.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The application occupies the narrow strip above a Mac Dock or Windows taskbar, where the shrimp wanders until the cursor becomes a pellet. A click can leave food behind for autonomous discovery, and the shrimp stays full for a period after eating. The page identifies the downloads as universal for Apple silicon and Intel Macs and supports Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows 11 on ARM. Breeding is presented as a future feature, with early registrants designated founders.
