v1.7.0

Packages: cursor-duck-chrome-1.7.0.zip (Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons, Manifest V3) · cursor-duck-firefox-1.7.0.zip (Firefox Add-ons, Manifest V2).

New in 1.7.0:

📝 Reading along & focus mode: When you type into a text field she looks at the field instead of the cursor and won't doze off. On password fields and fullscreen videos she steps aside — and reports back with a “!” afterwards.

🍪 Selection snack: Select text near her and she nibbles at the edge of the selection — “nom”. She only sees where the text is, never what it says.

😴 Nap timer: New slider from 5 to 60 seconds.

🌙 Calm mode: With “reduce motion” enabled in your system she automatically skips pirouettes, shaking, bathing, dancing and the disco ball — the trick buttons in the popup still do everything.

💘 A name, a regular & seasonal ducks: Give her a name in the popup — she says it when the petting bar is full. Dropping by 30 days in a row earns the diamond badge “Regular” (60 achievements in total). New Year duck in January, Valentine duck in February.

🔊 Popup & touch: A soundboard to preview every sound, a search box for the model grid. On touchscreens she follows your finger — tap her to quack, double-tap to flap or feed.

Cursor Duck 1.6.0 — Music dance & wardrobe

What's new in 1.6.0

✨ New

• Music & video — when a video or audio track with sound plays on the page (embedded players included), she dances along in rounds with little breathers, the ducklings bob to the beat, and a sleeping duck wakes up for the first beat. Pause the player and she stops. Muted autoplay videos don't count.
• Wardrobe — 14 hats and 5 pairs of glasses can be put on any model: top hat, crown, halo, ninja mask, sunglasses, monocle … Each piece is unlocked by an achievement (the lock tells you which one); the popup previews every piece on your current duck.
• 59 achievements in four tiers — 24 new badges from bronze through silver and gold to diamond, including three for the Tycoon Duck's gold bath. Tiles are tier-colored and the header counts what you've collected.
• Distance to cursor — new slider so she keeps more distance and never sits on the text you're reading; she still pecks, then backs off again.

🐛 Fixed

• Pause on this site didn't stick: switching tabs and back revived the duck. Fixed, and an entry like example.com now also covers www. and every subdomain.
• Alt+Shift+N (next model) skipped the Tycoon Duck.

🎨 Improved

• Editable list of paused sites in the popup (add by typing a domain or pasting a URL, remove with ×).
• Every popup section collapses with a click on its heading; the state is remembered. The checkbox block got its own "Behaviour" heading.
• Update page showcases the dance and the gold dive.
• Smoother on busy pages: the overlay no longer forces page layouts (ResizeObserver instead of polling), its resolution is capped on very large displays, and it is paint-isolated from the page.

Both ZIPs below: chrome is Manifest V3 (also used for Edge), firefox is the MV2 build (addons-linter clean: 0 errors / 0 warnings / 0 notices).

Cursor Duck 1.5.0 — Tycoon Duck & real sounds

What's new in 1.5.0

✨ New

• Tycoon Duck — a new epic model with top hat and monocle. When she gets sleepy, a little gold hoard rises from the water; she paddles over, takes a gleeful leap, dives in headfirst and sleeps buried in coins, dreaming in glitter. Waking her makes her hop out while the hoard sinks away — and with ducklings around she still tucks them into their nest first.
• Real sounds — every noise is now a real CC0 recording bundled with the extension (documented in audio/SOURCES.md): a snappy quack plus two real-duck variants mixed in at random, a water splash, a beak tap, a cartoon cork pop and coin jingles for the gold hoard. Per-model pitch stays (ducklings peep high, the goose honks low). A synthesized fallback only covers load failures.
• Volume slider in the popup — sound was previously just on or off.

🎨 Improved

• Popup polish: filled slider tracks, section icons, emojis on the trick buttons, model name with its emoji.
• Robust audio unlock: sounds no longer pile up while the browser blocks audio (no more noise burst after the first click), and overlapping sounds run through a limiter so they never clip.
• The update page now showcases the tycoon's gold dive.

Both ZIPs below: chrome is Manifest V3 (also used for Edge), firefox is the MV2 build (addons-linter clean: 0 errors / 0 warnings / 0 notices).

v1.4.0 — Visionary & Easter Duck, bedtime ritual & cartoon quack 🦆

New in 1.4.0

💡 Visionary Duck (epic) — Black turtleneck, round glasses, and twelve lines she drops while quacking: from “One more thing …” through “You're holding it wrong.” to “Quack different.”

🐰 Easter Duck (epic, seasonal) — Bunny ears and easter-egg speckles. Available from three weeks before until one week after Easter Sunday — the extension computes the date itself (Gauss's Easter algorithm).

🎲 Random model on every browser start — New option in the popup: every start greets you with a random duck model (legendaries stay rare, seasonal ducks only in their season).

🪺 Duckling nest with a bedtime ritual — When mama gets sleepy she first puts the ducklings to bed: swim to the nest, wait until everyone is settled, a good-night nudge with a heart — then she falls asleep beside them and dreams little hearts. The nest grows with the number of ducklings and the duck size. On the go, the little ones now doze off too.

🔊 New quack — The synthesized duck call now sounds like a classic cartoon quack: with rasp, twin formants and a two-syllable “quack-quack” when she's happy. Still fully synthetic, without a single audio file.

🏅 35 achievements, all clickable — 13 new badges for power players (Favorite human, Jackhammer, Identity crisis, Washing machine, Tsunami rider, Duck festival …). And clicking an achievement now reveals how to earn it.

👀 Everyone stays visible — The duck family gently keeps its distance, so no duckling disappears behind mama; drawing is depth-sorted.

📸 Timeless store screenshots — A new developer tool renders all store visuals free of numbers in both German and English; the short description no longer names a model count either.

v1.3.0 — Landgang, Überfütterungs-Plopp & Tanz-Duett 🦆

Nachträglich angelegtes Release (in den Stores als 1.3.0 veröffentlicht).

Neu

🚶 Landgang — Ab und zu klettert die Ente aus dem Wasser, watschelt auf prozedural gezeichneten Beinchen einmal stolz im Kreis und springt genau dort wieder hinein, wo sie rausgekommen ist.

🎈 Nicht überfüttern — Zu viele Brotkrumen am Stück machen sie sichtbar pummelig, dann hickst sie, und irgendwann macht es PLOPP: Federwolke, kurz weg, dann ploppt sie verlegen wieder aus dem Wasser.

💃 Tanz-Duett beim Besuch — Nach dem Quak-Duett tanzen Besuch und Ente synchron im selben Takt, spiegelbildlich, mit gemeinsamer Pirouette und Herzchen zum Abschied.

🏅 22 Erfolge — neu: „Landratte" und „Platzt vor Glück".

🐛 Behoben — Die Erfolge-Liste im Popup ließ sich seitwärts scrollen.

Pakete

• cursor-duck-chrome-1.3.0.zip — Chrome & Edge (Manifest V3)
• cursor-duck-firefox-1.3.0.zip — Firefox (Manifest V2, addons-linter 0/0/0)

v1.2.0 — Besuch, Erfolge & mehr 🦆

Das bisher größte Update für die Ente:

Neu

• Besuch 💕 — Alle paar Minuten schwimmt eine wilde Ente vorbei: Quak-Duett, Notenwölkchen, Herzchen, Abschied.
• Küken picken mit 🐣 — Brotkrumen sind Familiensache; die Kleinen knabbern mit eigener Animation mit.
• Scroll-Strömung 🌊 — Scrollen zieht die Entenfamilie kurz mit der Strömung; heftiges Scrollen weckt Schlafende.
• Saison-Enten 🎃🎄 — Kürbis-Ente (nur Oktober) und Weihnachts-Ente (nur Dezember, mit Zipfelmütze).
• 20 Erfolge 🏆 — Abzeichen im Popup, vom Streichel-Fan über „Der war SO groß!" bis zum Ehrenspecht.
• Nachtmodus 🌙 — Zwischen 22 und 6 Uhr wird sie schneller müde und träumt in Sternchen.
• Update-Seite — erscheint einmalig nach Feature-Updates, zweisprachig (DE/EN).

Gefixt

• Fisch-Jagd funktioniert jetzt bei jeder Entengröße (vorher fing die Mini-Ente exakt gar nichts: 0 % → 78 % Fangquote).
• Popup öffnet nicht mehr sporadisch überbreit (Chromium-Größenraster bei asynchron ladendem Inhalt).
• Brotkrumen skalieren mit der Entengröße.

Pakete

• cursor-duck-chrome-1.2.0.zip — Chrome/Edge (Manifest V3)
• cursor-duck-firefox-1.2.0.zip — Firefox (Manifest V2, addons-linter 0/0/0)

Beide aus einer Codebasis gebaut via python3 tools/build.py.

Stores: Chrome Web Store (in Review) · Firefox Add-ons (in Review) — die Ente ist auf beiden Plattformen unterwegs.
