Birch

Your desktop just got a lot more lively.

Birch places adorable animated birds directly on your Windows desktop.
They walk across the taskbar, fly to your icons, take naps when tired —
and notice when you're around.

Features

• Multiple bird species, each with a unique personality and movement style
  
• Interactive — birds react when you hover or click near them
  
• Perches on your real desktop icons, not just the background
  
• Dynamic behavior: idle, walk, fly, rest, startled, and more
  
• Familiarity system — the more time you spend together, the warmer they become
  
• Unlock system — discover new species by bonding with your current birds
  
• Multi-monitor support
  
• Lightweight — runs quietly in the system tray, never gets in your way

Birds available at launch

• Cacatua Alba — lively and sociable, loves hanging near your icons
  
• Cacatua Galerita — active and expressive
  
• Eagle — calm and majestic, flies in clean straight lines
  
• Owl — wise and unhurried, a perfect quiet companion
  
• Sparrow — full of energy, always hopping somewhere new
  
• Chicken — can't really fly, but hops between icons with surprising determination

More birds coming in future updates!

How it works

Birch runs as a transparent overlay above your desktop.
Your birds are always visible, but never block your windows or work.
Access settings or hide all birds anytime from the system tray icon.
