Pocket Pond

A tiny angler who fishes on your desktop while you work. Pocket Pond is a cozy idle overlay where a pixel-art fisherman auto-casts, reels in 130 species, and fills your codex - no clicking required. Just let him drift in the corner of your screen and see what's biting.

About the Game

Your desktop just got a little wetter.

Pocket Pond is a cozy idle fishing companion that lives right on your desktop. A pixel-art angler drifts in his boat along the bottom of your screen - casting, waiting, and reeling in fish entirely on his own - through a transparent, borderless window that floats over everything else. No tab to keep open, no clicking to do. Just glance over now and then to see what's on the line.

🎣 Cast once, relax forever

  • Truly AFK - the angler fishes by himself while you work, browse, or play something else.

  • Always there - a frameless overlay that sits on your desktop and stays out of the way; click straight through to whatever's behind it.

  • Make it yours - drag it anywhere, scale it up or down, lock it in place, launch it at startup, and keep it always-on-top.

🐟 A whole pond to discover

  • 130 species of fish, from everyday commons to shimmering legendaries.

  • Five rarities to chase - every catch is a little hit of "what did I get?"

  • Fill your codex - log every species you've caught, its size and weight ranges, and your personal best.

🌊 Explore new waters

Travel between biomes - the calm Blue Lagoon, a vivid Coral Reef, a swaying Kelp Forest, a tangled Mangrove Delta, and steaming Volcanic Springs - each with its own backdrop and roster of fish. Work your way up through fishing levels to reach rarer, more valuable catches.

💰 Catch, sell, upgrade

  • Sell your haul for coins - space is limited, so decide what to keep and what to cash in.

  • Gear up in the shop: rods, reels, lines, hooks, and baits, each with effects that quicken bites, hook slippery fish, tip the odds toward rares, double your catch, and more.

  • Grow your stash by buying extra inventory slots as your collection expands.

✨ The calm little ritual in the corner of your screen

Hand-crafted pixel art, a gentle soundtrack, and dozens of achievements to chip away at. Pocket Pond is the perfect companion for focus, study, or winding down — a quiet pond that's always just a glance away.
