What are your favorite "fun" apps?
Yesterday @fmerian recommended Googly Eyes from @Sindre Sorhus, which I immediately downloaded! After enjoying the eyes following my cursor around for the day, that got me thinking - what other fun, goofy apps do you all have for your Mac, Chrome, or other devices that don't necessarily serve a purpose other than to bring joy and break the monotony? @Scroll Buddy is another one that comes to mind that I have saved in a collection.
We see productivity apps, AI-based software, open-source products, etc. all the time, but what about your saved products someone made after their 9-5 or on a weekend just to have fun and test their skills?
Share your favorites and why you love 'em!

Desktop Goose is an absolute gem! It’s like someone decided your screen needed a chaotic roommate—this goose waddles around dragging random memes, honking at you, and sometimes straight-up nabs your cursor. Zero productivity, 100% pure chaos. Perfect for when you need a laugh between Zoom calls.
@onbing can't agree more. the goose is a nuisance, but a harmless nuisance.

@onbing oh I like this - will have to download! a little chaos is okay
I am totally hooked with Google Eyes. They're so cute. Can anyone recommend any other cute or funny products like this for Windows users?
Love the typewriter sound app. Makes typing feel way more satisfying.
I once made an app out of boredom and frustration. The app, I called it HungryDino. The app really had no purpose. All it did was, it changed my cursor to that of a dinosaur and whenever I deleted any letters while typing, the 'deleting' animation was replaced by the dinosaur eating the letters. It grew every 5 letters, and after 100 letters the dino turns from grey to green to red. Clicking 3 times in succession would make the dino spew fire.
It was a time when I was exploring game development. This project is lost now, unfortunately, due to my laptop dying.
What do you think @ben_griese, should I make it again and launch it on PH? XD
