It walks along your title bars, rides windows you drag, naps when you leave and reminds you to stretch, drink water and meet your deadlines.
NewVersion 2.0.21: shuffle, repeat and a points leaderboard
Nibble lives on top of your windows. It naps when you’re away, dances to your music, codes along with you and drops onto your friends’ screens to say hi.
Free for everyone. No ads. Windows 10/11 and macOS 12+.
Not just a screensaver. It lives on your windows.
This is a real Nibble running in your browser. Drag the windows around, throw the pets, open the Start menu, or maximise a window underneath one.

📄 How to reinstall the latest versionWhat's new in 2.0.21
- Music: Shuffle, Repeat (all or one) and Previous, so the music keeps going like Spotify
- Fixed: pets sometimes stopped responding to clicks and drags until a restart
- New Leaderboard: see who earned the most points, among friends or everyone
- Windows: Nibble.exe comes ready-made with Nibble's name and icon, and the taskbar shows Nibble
- Run Get-Nibble.exe. A small Nibble setup window opens. First time only, Windows SmartScreen may say "unknown publisher". Click More info → Run anyway (it's safe; it just isn't code-signed yet).
- It fetches the runtime (Electron, ~110 MB) from GitHub and checks its SHA-256 before installing. You'll see the progress bar fill.
- Nibble drops onto your screen, installed to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Nibblewith Start menu and Desktop shortcuts, and listed in Add or remove programs. - Say hi to friends: double-click the tray icon to open the Nibble Hub, sign in with Google or email and add friends by username.
- Uninstall any time from Settings → Apps, or Start → Uninstall Nibble.
Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer? Send us a message in the feedback form below.
Is Nibble free?
Yes. Every pet, every game and every feature is free. There are no ads and nothing to buy with real money. Points are earned by playing.
Will it slow my computer down?
No. The pets sleep when you’re away and step aside in full-screen apps and games. Nibble uses about as much as a browser tab.
Which computers does it run on?
Windows 10 and 11, and macOS 12 or newer on Apple silicon and Intel. You can also open the Hub in any browser at nibblex.vercel.app/app.
My Mac says it can’t check the app. What do I do?
Open System Settings, then Privacy & Security, and click Open Anyway next to Nibble. Or install with the one Terminal line on the download panel, which never shows that prompt.
How do my friends see my pet?
Sign in, add them by username, and once they accept, your pet visits their desktop whenever you’re both online, wearing whatever you dressed it in.
What can friends see about me?
Only your username, your pet and the messages you send. The names of the apps you use never leave your computer.
How do I update?
Nibble checks for updates on its own and the Hub refreshes itself. To reinstall from scratch on Windows, download Get-Nibble.exe again from this page.

A tiny friend for your desktop, and your friends’ too.
Nibble is a tiny companion that lives on your desktop. It walks along the tops of your windows, hops between them, naps on the taskbar and reacts to what you’re doing, so your screen feels a little less lonely while you work.
The idea grew from one pet into a small social world: friends’ pets can visit each other, deliver messages, cuddle, squabble and make up over ice cream, remind you about deadlines, play games and even listen to music together.
Designed and built in Sri Lanka.
