Production capture

The desktop app is where the browser demo becomes a real stream tool.

System input

Capture keyboard and mouse activity while games, design apps, or OBS are focused.

Overlay output

Use a dedicated desktop overlay workflow instead of relying on browser page focus.

Characters and styles

Use the same Bongo Cat characters and input styles shown on the homepage and characters page.

Stream scenes

Prepare a clean input overlay for OBS scenes, TikTok clips, tutorials, and gaming.

When to use the desktop app

The browser demo is intentionally limited to page-level input. Use Overlay Cat Desktop when you want the cat to react while a game, a design tool, broadcast software, or another desktop application is active. The desktop app is the right place for real production capture, export settings, and stream-ready overlay output.
