Munchy Mates for Mac

A tiny friend
who lives on your Mac.

She sits above your Dock, gets hungry when your battery does, naps at night, and happily munches the files you don't need.

A friend who's just there.

Feels your battery

Hungry at 20%, in tears at 10%, out cold at 5%. Plug in and she munches back to life.

Keeps your hours

Bright in the morning, lazy after lunch, yawning at night. He sleeps from 1 to 8 am.

Eats your clutter

Drag a file to her mouth and she gobbles it into the Trash. "Yummm."

Battery buddy

Your battery is her lunchbox.

No more surprise shutdowns. She lets you know long before your Mac does, and she always says it in her own voice.

Day & night

She lives on
your schedule.

Morning

A new hello, every day

Open your Mac and she greets you with a different line each morning.

Afternoon

The lazy hour

After lunch she flops down and takes it easy. Same, honestly.

Night

Sleepy, but staying up

Her ears droop, but she'll keep you company.

Midnight

A gentle nudge

"It's late, won't you go to sleep?"

1 – 8 am

Fast asleep, dreaming out loud

She says goodnight, curls up, and mumbles the odd dream. At 8, or whenever you're back, she wakes up in the right mood.

Zzz… a flower crown… for you…

Feed her files

Decluttering,
but delicious.

Pick up a file and bring it close. Her mouth opens and stays open while you hover. Let go and she eats it. It goes to the Trash, so you can always get it back.

  • Mouth opens as a file comes near
  • Pull away and she politely closes it
  • Can't be eaten? "Bleh… I can't eat that one." Nothing happens.
  • Lying down? She eats lying down too.

PDF tools

Five handy tools.
One very fluffy toolbox.

Click her with two fingers on your trackpad (or right-click) and the tools circle around her. Pick one, or just drop your files on her.

Make them yours

Adoption day.

The first time you open Munchy Mates, you choose your pet and give them a name. Each one comes with a personality of their own, a little surprise you'll get to know. Then they climb out of the basket and say hello.

Cute, and considerate.

🤫

Quiet when it matters

On a call, in Focus or muted, she keeps her thoughts to herself.

💬

Chatty, normal or quiet

Choose how often she talks: about six times an hour, three, or not at all.

📶

Works offline

Everything works with no internet. She only goes online to check for updates.

🔒

No camera. No account.

She only sees the files you hand her. There's nothing to sign up for.

🎥

Camera-shy on request

Hide her from screenshots and screen sharing with one switch.

🪄

Always up to date

New versions install by themselves, quietly, the next time she restarts.

Bring one home.

You're on a phone or tablet. Munchy Mates only works on a Mac, so open this page on your Mac to download it.

  1. Open the downloaded file and drag Munchy Mates into Applications.
  2. Open it from Applications. If macOS says it can't verify the app, go to System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. You only do this once.
  3. Adopt your pet, and say hi. 🐾

Questions.

Which Macs does it work on?

Any Mac with Apple silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4 or newer) running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Not sure? Click the Apple menu ▸ About This Mac.

Where do the files she eats go?

Into your Trash, just like deleting them yourself. Changed your mind? Open the Trash and put it back.

Why does macOS say it can't verify the app?

Munchy Mates isn't from the App Store, so the first time you open it macOS asks you to confirm. Go to System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. After that it opens normally.

Does it need the internet?

No. Everything works offline. If you're online, it checks once a day for a new version and installs it by itself.

Can I change my pet later?

Yes. Open Settings from the paw icon in your menu bar to switch pets, rename them, change their size or pick where they live.

Will she bother me during meetings?

No. She stays quiet during calls, in Focus and when your Mac is muted. You can also turn her chatter off entirely.

How do I hide her for a while?

Click the paw icon in the menu bar and choose Hide. She'll wait patiently until you bring her back.
