LITTLE COMPANIONS. BIG FEELINGS.

A little closer,
anywhere.

For the person you wish was right beside you.
Send a hello, a hug, or a tiny “thinking of you”
— straight to their Mac.

Bring a little friend home

WHEN WORDS FEEL TOO BIG

Send a little
something.

Some days, all you need is a tiny reminder
that someone is thinking of you.

Try a preview. The app has 11 gestures to share.

A SMALL DELIVERY OF LOVE
Hi, you! ♡
A little preview — no message is sent.

YOUR NEW DESKTOP REGULARS

Small characters.
So much personality.

A little you. A cozy cat. A pocket-sized dragon.
Choose your companion, then make it feel like home.

A LITTLE LESS DISTANCE

From your desktop
to theirs.

01

Find your little you

Pick a companion. Make it yours with colors, hairstyles, glasses, and the little details.

02

Invite your person

You both open the Mac app. Share your private invitation code and connect across the internet.

03

Make their day, a little

Send a gesture. Your character pops up on their screen to deliver it, even from another country.

Both Macs need the app running and an internet connection. Offline greetings wait until your friend reconnects.

COMPANY, WITHOUT THE CLUTTER

Here when you need them.
Peeking when you don’t.

When things go quiet, your little companions tuck into the corner of your desktop. Tap to bring them out, or hide your own while keeping your person close.

Quiet mode. Reduced motion. A little room to breathe.

A TINY DESKTOP COMPANION. A VERY BIG FEELING.

Save a little space
for someone you love.

One download for you. One for your person.

Download for Mac

Version 0.5 · Free beta · Apple Silicon · macOS 14 or later

Before you open the beta

Unzip the download and move Kuchu Puchu Native to Applications. Quit an older copy before opening the update. This early beta is locally signed and isn’t Apple-notarized yet, so macOS may show a developer verification prompt. Only open it if you trust this download.

If Keychain asks to access your saved app credential, “Always Allow” remembers permission for this build. Development updates may ask again until we have consistent Apple signing.

Updating from 0.4 or earlier? Both people should install 0.5 and reconnect using the new invitation code in Circle. Your avatar remains on your Mac; earlier server history is not transferred.

Intel Macs, Windows, iPhone, and Android are not supported in this beta.

A FEW LITTLE ANSWERS

Wondering
about something?

Does it work if we’re in different countries?

Yes. Connected Mac apps exchange greetings over the internet. Your friend sees your character deliver the gesture on their screen. Both apps need to be running; this beta does not send notifications when fully quit.

Can I customize my character?

Yes. Choose from 12 characters and three illustration styles. Human characters have editable skin tone, hairstyle, hair color, facial hair, body build, age look, eyewear, headwear, earrings, eye color, and face shape.

Who can see my greetings?

Greetings are available to the connected sender and recipient through private device credentials. Invitation codes should only be shared with people you want to connect with. Traffic is encrypted with HTTPS, but messages are not end-to-end encrypted and are stored by the connection service.

Can I turn my own character off?

Yes. Switch off “Show my desktop avatar” in the app. Your connected friend stays visible, and you can still send gestures. You can also hide all desktop characters, pause sharing, or enable private previews.

Is the beta free?

Yes, this Mac beta is free to download. It’s an early version, and features and service availability may change. There’s no subscription or payment step in the app.
