About
Store description and overview from Steam.
Stay close to the characters you love—right on your desktop.
Always together with your favorite characters.
They sit on top of your windows, tell you the time, and more.
Your everyday desktop, just a little happier.
Drag a character onto a window, and they'll sit right on top of it. Just watching them jump from window to window is soothing. A core feature of Desktop Mate—stay together even while you work.
Characters react to your mouse cursor by chasing and playing with it. Their charming gestures add a touch of fun to your desktop.
Characters play voice lines in various scenes! With voices for clicks, head pats, and other interactions, it feels as if they're really there.
* Voice content varies by DLC character.
The built-in alarm feature lets your characters tell you when it's time! Set an alarm, and your characters will let you know when it goes off!
* Some DLCs include special mascot characters that appear when alarms go off.
The multi-character feature lets you display several characters at once! Line up your favorites on your desktop and enjoy them together.
*This feature is currently available only in the beta version.
Special actions trigger between certain character pairs! For example, displaying Kagamine Rin/Len together unlocks playful exchanges and synchronized movements only the twins can perform.
* More character combos coming in future updates.
Syncs with "Mahjong Soul"! Desktop Mate characters react in real time to in-game actions.
* This feature requires the Mahjong Soul "Chibi Ichihime" DLC.
Every feature is thoughtfully designed to never disrupt your day. Make characters bigger to enjoy their presence, or smaller to keep things tidy. When not in use, they quietly tuck away at the edge of your screen—keeping things comfortable, even for long sessions.
Desktop Mate keeps growing with new characters and features.
From new ways to interact with characters to handy new features, Desktop Mate keeps evolving.
