Bring your desktop to life with interactive mascots

Desktop Mate is a freemium personalization software that brings interactive virtual characters to your screen, making your desktop feel more dynamic and engaging. These mascots move freely, sitting on windows, hopping between them, and even reacting to your mouse movements in a way that goes beyond simple animations. 

With support for multiple characters, you can personalize your experience and add variety over time. If you've used Shimeji-ee, which lets animated characters roam your screen, Desktop Mate takes it a step further with smoother movement and more ways to interact, blending entertainment with a subtle touch of functionality.

A virtual assistant for your daily routine

Desktop Mate brings personality to your workspace as an elevated version of interactive live wallpapers. Aiel-tan, the platform's official virtual mascot, is designed to support your daily routine. More than just decoration, Aiel-tan helps you manage your time with a built-in alarm function. Instead of relying on dull reminders, you get a more engaging way to structure your tasks without feeling overwhelmed.

The experience doesn’t stop with Aiel-tan. The application lets you customize your setup by adding new characters, including the world-famous virtual singer, Hatsune Miku. Available as a premium option, Miku brings a unique presence to your screen, giving you more ways to personalize your desktop. While the basic software is free, these extra character options provide a way to tailor your experience, making your workspace truly your own.

What's great about this application is that it commits to evolving with new features and interactive elements. More characters will be introduced in future updates, along with new ways to interact with them. This ensures the software stays fresh and engaging over time. However, while the free version offers a solid experience, unlocking extra content requires additional purchases, which might not be for everyone.

A fun and functional desktop companion

Desktop Mate blends entertainment with productivity, offering a virtual assistant that adds both charm and utility to your daily tasks. Its customization options let you create a more personal desktop environment, and future updates promise even more features to explore. If you enjoy having a bit of charm in your daily routine, it’s worth a try—just keep in mind that some of the best features come at an extra cost.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
