A desktop pet for your Mac

Your desktop has a hungry roommate.

Hugo eats the clutter on your desktop, keeps every file safe in its belly, and spits each one back to the exact spot it came from. It's also an AI helper you can just talk to.

Watch it clean up a messy desktop.

It eats everything in one gulp, writes a market summary in a new tab, turns screenshots into a report, and puts every file back when you ask.

Try it here

Feed it a few files.

Drag the files onto Hugo. Then hit “Spit back” and watch every one go home to its exact spot, just like on your Mac.

The one rule

It eats files. It never deletes them.

A belly, not a trash can

Eaten files move to a folder you can open any time, searchable by name, type and day.

Back to the exact pixel

It remembers where each icon sat on your desktop and puts it back there. A giant paw can even place them one by one.

Undo every bite

A history of every bite and spit, with one-click undo.

AI helper

Tell it what you need.

Type or speak. It finds files, looks at screenshots, writes reports, and plans a tidy-up. It always asks before running anything on your Mac.

Screenshots to reports

Snap a few screens; get a clean report, plan or ad script in a new tab.

Smart tidy

It proposes folders, you approve, it files everything.

Jobs on a schedule

“Every Friday at 6, tidy my desktop.” Done.

Remembers your rules

“Invoices always go to Finance.” It keeps that in mind.

Look at my last 3 screenshots and write a marketing plan.
Done. I opened “Launch plan for Padel Warriors” in a new tab: audience, key message, channels and a two-week calendar.
Now move the invoices into my Finance folder.
The monster wants to move 4 files to ~/Documents/Finance. Allow?
Make it yours

Questions

Good to know

Where do my files go?

Into the monster's belly: a normal folder on your Mac (or your iCloud Drive if you choose). Nothing is uploaded and nothing is deleted.

What does the AI see?

Only what you ask it to look at, for that request. Messages go through our server to Anthropic's Claude; we count usage but don't store your messages. You can also plug in your own key.

Can it run things on my Mac?

Only with your OK. Every command, script, file write and file move is shown to you first, and the default button is Deny. You can switch full access off entirely.

What is AI energy?

Pro includes a monthly AI allowance. Everyday jobs barely touch it; web searches and the Balanced model use more. The bar in Settings shows what's left, and it refills on the 1st.

macOS says it can't open the app

During the early-access period the app isn't signed by Apple yet. Open it once, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll down and click “Open Anyway”. After that it opens normally.

Does it speak my language?

The app is in English and Turkish, and the AI answers in whatever language you write in.
