Bitling 1.2.0

A desktop pet for macOS that lives on your dev activity. A small robot stands on the
bottom edge of your screen, watches your cursor, walks around, flies off to hover
somewhere else, and reacts to what you are actually doing.

Install

1. Download the .dmg below and open it.
2. Drag Bitling to Applications, then open it from Applications.
3. macOS will say it cannot check the app for malicious software, because this build
   is not signed with a paid Apple Developer ID. Open System Settings → Privacy &
   Security, scroll down, and click Open Anyway. Or run:
   xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bitling.app

Bitling has no Dock icon. Look for the smiling face in the menu bar.

What it reacts to

• git, in every repository on the machine: commits drop a node it catches and eats,
  pushes launch a rocket, merges get confetti, rebases make it dizzy, fix commits
  spawn a bug it stomps. Reflog based, so there is nothing to configure.
• tests and deploys: red screen with X eyes and a swarm of bugs when tests fail, a
  green OK when they pass, a progress bar while a deploy runs, a rocket when it lands.
  Reads GitHub Actions and Deployments through the gh CLI, local pytest caches, and
  anything you send with the bundled bitling command.
• Claude Code sessions: typing dots while it works, chatter about what it is doing,
  a wave when Claude needs your permission, sparkles when it finishes.

Care

Tap the box three times to unbox it. Click to pat, drag to carry, throw it and it
deploys a parafoil. Feed it batteries, send it bug hunting, and let it sleep. It grows
through three stages, and it never dies.

Requires macOS 13 or later. Apple Silicon and Intel.
