Follows your every move
The eyes track your cursor smoothly across the whole screen, with natural blinking and idle behaviours, so it never feels robotic or repetitive. Click anywhere and it winks back.
macOS · Menu bar
A pet that lives in your menu bar.
Vibe Eyes tucks a small, expressive character into the top-right of your Mac. Its eyes follow your cursor, it blinks on its own, and it glances up when you come back.

Live — move your cursor. This is what it does all day.
Sixteen seconds of it
Flipping through the cast, putting one on the menu bar, and the two things a screenshot can't show: the eyes tracking the cursor, and a blink.
Recorded on a Mac, no sound.

- Nudge a character's eyes exactly where you want them
-
04 Eye Breaks
Gentle reminders to look away, on a schedule you choose. Your character leads a one-minute exercise: follow it across the screen, gaze into the distance for twenty seconds, then blink along. They never interrupt a movie or a presentation, and any you miss while away from your Mac are simply skipped. Off by default.
-
05 Light on the battery
A native SwiftUI app built to sip battery, not drain it — it slows its own refresh rate the moment your cursor stops moving. It needs no special permissions at all.
-
06 Nothing leaves your Mac
There is no account and no analytics, and your cursor position never leaves your machine. The only thing ever sent anywhere is a photo you choose to generate from, and it goes straight to the provider you connected. Read the privacy policy.
On a real desktop
Every shot below is the app running, menu bar and all — no mockups.
-
Pick a character. It appears in the menu bar the moment you do. -
Eleven of them, flipped through in a carousel. Free, all of them. -
With Plus: one photo becomes an avatar with the same eyes and blinks. -
Studio: the photo you're working on at left, your whole library at right.
Vibe Eyes Plus
Generate your own, from a photo
Plus is a one-time purchase that unlocks Studio: drop in a photo and the app turns it into a menu-bar character of your own, with the same tracking eyes and blinks as the built-in ones.
Generation runs on your own image-provider account — connect a key for Google Gemini, OpenRouter, or any OpenAI-compatible host, and that provider bills you directly for what you make. Everything else in Vibe Eyes stays free.
New in 3.0
- A completely new look. The settings window has been rebuilt from scratch — light, airy and glass-like, with a drifting colour backdrop.
- A carousel for the cast. Flip through every character, see one full size, and press Make it mine when you've found the one.
- Studio is now a workspace. The photo you're turning into an avatar on the left, your whole library beside it on the right.
- Fourteen accent colours instead of four, or mix your own.
- Small wooden clicks on the things that matter — putting an avatar on the menu bar, flipping a switch. Turn them off in Settings.
- Hand-tuned eyes on every built-in character, and you can still nudge any of them yourself.
