Birch

You're not the only one at this desk anymore.

Birch puts small, living birds right on your Windows desktop.
Not in a window you have to open. Right there, in the space
where you already spend your hours.

They go about their day next to yours — walking your taskbar,
settling on your icons, dozing off, waking up. And every so
often, one of them notices you're there.

You don't have to feed them. You don't have to do anything.
They just keep you company while you work, and the longer
they're around, the more this starts to feel like their home too.

Stay a while, and they warm up to you.

Spend quiet time near them and something shifts — they sit a
little closer, react a little differently. Be around long enough,
and one of them might bring a friend.

Always there, never in the way

Your birds are always there while you work, but they never cover your windows or get in your way.
Open settings or hide them all anytime from the system tray.
