A small block pet for the corner of your desktop
eolla hatches from an egg and grows for as long as your Mac is on. It won’t get sick if you ignore it, and it keeps quiet while you work.
Requires macOS 27.2 or later. Windows is planned.
Click the pet to say hi
It notices what your Mac is doing
eolla turns small signals from your computer and your day into moods. You never see a gauge or a number, only how it behaves.
Dozes off when you step away
Leave the keyboard alone for a while and it curls up to sleep. Late at night it nods off sooner.
Pants when your Mac runs hot
Heavy work warms the machine, and it breathes faster until things cool down.
Feels the weather outside
Rain and snow fall around it, and it shivers in the cold. Off by default, and it only uses your approximate location.
Says hi when you click
Click for a short word in a speech bubble. Right-click to offer a snack or some water.
Stays where you put it
Drag it to any spot on the screen. It wanders a few steps around that spot and comes back.
A little shy in new places
Open your Mac somewhere unfamiliar and it huddles for a few minutes, then settles in. Also off by default.
It grows while your Mac is on
There is nothing to feed on a schedule and nothing to level up. Its age is the time the app has been running, and its looks change as that time adds up.

Five species to meet
Partway through growing up, you find out which lizard was inside. The species is decided when the egg arrives and stays hidden until then.
Nine colors, picked for you
Each egg arrives in one of nine colors, chosen at random. Now and then one comes with a rare golden pattern.
A new egg after every grown-up
A fully grown friend moves to Friends you met, and a new egg appears with a species you haven’t raised yet.
Made to be left alone
Most virtual pets punish you for being busy. eolla is for the days you have no time for a pet.
It never gets sick or dies
No hunger meter, no daily tasks, no streaks. Skip a week and it is exactly as you left it.
No account needed
Your pet is saved on your Mac. If you choose, iCloud keeps it so you can continue on another Mac.
Lives in the menu bar
No Dock icon and no window to manage. Hide or show the pet from the egg in the menu bar.
Free to raise, no subscription
Raising a pet from egg to adult costs nothing. Growth speed is never for sale.
Questions
Is eolla free?
Yes. Raising a pet from egg to adult is free, and there is no subscription.
What happens if I forget about it?
Nothing bad. It doesn’t get hungry, sick or sad, and it never sends notifications. It only grows while the app is running, so it simply waits for you.
Which Macs does it run on?
eolla needs macOS 27.2 or later.
Is there a Windows version?
Not yet. eolla is macOS only for now, and Windows support is planned.
Do I need to sign in?
No. eolla works without an account. Your pet is saved on your Mac, and you can turn on iCloud to keep it across your Macs.
What does it do with my location?
Nothing unless you turn on weather or familiar places in Settings. Then it uses only an approximate location. Familiar places are kept as cells of about 3 km on your Mac and are never uploaded.
Will it get in the way of my work?
It stays near the spot where you dropped it, and clicks on the empty space around it pass through to the app behind. You can hide it from the menu bar at any time.
