What is a desktop mascot?

A two-minute guide to animated characters that live on your Mac, react to AI agents, and stay useful throughout the day.

Meet Ko, your guide.
Lesson 01

A mascot is an animated character on your desktop.

Think of it as a cartoon sidekick and a living desk toy. It rests beside your work, moves, and reacts without taking over your screen.

calm
thrilled
concerned
Lesson 02

It shows what your AI agent is doing.

When Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another supported agent is working, waiting, or done, your mascot makes that state visible. If the agent needs your attention, the character reacts.

Lesson 03

You can create one or choose one.

Start with an idea or picture, meet Ko, or choose a finished character from the marketplace. Then add reactions that fit the mascot and the way you use your Mac.
