BongoCat Todo is a desktop pet application developed by ChHsiching that combines an animated on-screen companion with lightweight productivity tools. Built as a fork of the original BongoCat project, it retains the underlying Tauri 2 and Vue 3 technology stack while extending the desktop pet concept beyond simple animation. The software displays a hand-drawn style cat that lives on the user's desktop, and its core added functionality centers on two modules: an integrated todo list and a mail notification center. Users can right-click the cat to access and manage their todo items directly, turning the pet into a persistent, always-visible task reminder without the need to open a separate application window. In addition, the application allows users to bind an email account, after which incoming messages trigger bubble notifications delivered through the desktop pet itself, so new mail can be noticed at a glance while working. This combination positions BongoCat Todo within the desktop customization and personal productivity categories, appealing to users who want a playful desktop mascot that also serves practical organizational purposes. Typical use cases include keeping track of small daily tasks, receiving unobtrusive email alerts, and adding a decorative interactive element to the desktop environment. The current release is version 1.3.1, and the project has published one version to date, reflecting an early stage of development. Because it is based on Tauri 2, the application follows a lightweight desktop architecture, and its Vue 3 front end supports the hand-drawn visual style that distinguishes it from more conventional task managers or notification utilities. Overall, BongoCat Todo merges desktop entertainment with basic task and mail management in a single, compact package.
