Paw-Paw started from a simple idea: your Mac can feel a little less lonely without turning your workday into a game. A small illustrated friend sits on your desktop, reacts when you type or click, and quietly keeps you company while you study, write, code, or work.
The app is macOS-only, native, and intentionally focused. It does not need an account, does not run ads, and does not transmit what you type.
Who makes Paw-Paw?
Paw-Paw is operated by Daystrom OÜ, an Estonian company. The website and content are maintained by Vanja Ivancevic and the Paw-Paw team.
We keep the company details, privacy policy, and terms linked from every page because trust matters more than mystery.
Why it exists
Mac users have always had a soft spot for small utilities that do one specific thing well. Paw-Paw belongs to that tradition: it is not a productivity suite, a social network, or a habit platform. It is a desktop companion that makes typing feel a little more alive.
For artists
Every current Paw-Paw animal and item is included at no extra charge; animals and cosmetics unlock through progression. We do not have live in-app purchases today.
We are looking for artists who want to design future Paw-Paw characters and item sets for a profit-sharing model. If you have a character style that would feel at home in Paw-Paw, reach out with examples of your work and the kind of designs you would want to make.
- You keep your style and bring original character ideas.
- We discuss pricing and revenue share before anything ships.
- Nothing paid is live yet; artist designs would be a future optional model.

What changes next
Paw-Paw is still in public beta, so we update the app and website as the project develops. For public release notes, see the Paw-Paw changelog.
