questions
what kind of photo do i need for my pet?
any clear phone photo of your cat or dog looking forward works. no green screen or special lighting needed—popnotch automatically removes the background and animates their mouth in seconds.
which macs does it work on?
every mac running m1, m2, m3, m4, or intel (macos 13+). it fits right into the macbook notch, and works seamlessly at the top center of any standard monitor or imac.
where do eaten files go?
you choose in the menu bar. by default, eaten files go to your macos trash so you can always restore them, or you can switch to permanent delete.
does it slow down my mac or drain battery?
no. it's built 100% natively in swift, running silently in the background with minimal cpu usage and no noticeable battery impact.
can i hide or mute it during meetings?
yes. you can mute pop sounds, adjust volume, or hide your pet with a single click from the macos menu bar anytime.
can i start with classic and add my own pet later?
yes. you can upgrade to bring your own pet anytime directly from the app.
