[Free] Sheepo Desktop v1.1: focus timer + cutest desktop pet 🐑
Hey everyone! I’m an indie designer–dev and I just launched Sheepo Desktop this month, a tiny macOS app that lives on your screen as a flock of sheep and helps you balance focus and rest.
It was just updated to v1.1 with a smarter break reminder (cursor tail), menu bar controls, daily stats yard, calendar history, and new language support.
Instead of gamifying endless work, Sheepo celebrates your breaks:
finish a rest → unlock a new sheep → grow your little yard. 🌱
What Sheepo Desktop does
- ⏱ Visual focus & rest cycles Start a timer and watch a little sheep parade appear as you complete focus + break sessions.
- 🔒 Gentle break lock screen When it’s break time, Sheepo softly “locks” your screen so you actually step away instead of instantly tabbing into something else.
- 🐾 Pre-break “cursor tail” (new) Optional short countdown that follows your mouse a few seconds before a break starts, so your brain has time to switch gears.
- 🧲 Menu bar controls (new) See remaining focus time at a glance, and pause / resume / end sessions directly from the menu bar.
- 📅 Daily yard + calendar history (new) Check today’s total focus/rest time and which sheep you unlocked, then scroll back through previous days on a small calendar.
- 🎨 Unlockable themes Rest more to unlock new portal environments like grassland, beach, and snowfield (more in progress).
- 🌏 Multilingual support (new) Interface available in English / 简体中文 / 繁體中文 / 日本語.
- 👩🎨 Indie-made Designed, illustrated, and coded by one person as a gentle productivity experiment.
