More than a familiar face
Each companion has care, play, and growing up built in.
Click a loose Mate to feed them, play, or pick an activity. Care shows how they feel; the Journal keeps their skills and firsts.
Read, write or start a timed Work session together. With typing awareness on, computer-using Mates type along. They never read which key you press.
Kick a ball, pet them slowly, or tickle them with a quick wiggle. Discover seven tricks, from a wave and a high-five to a dance and a night light.
Bring a Mate Home and make their room your own with décor from the Home Shop. For quieter moments, choose calmer motion or let them nap.
A little bond, every day
Five life stages, a personality shaped by time together, and keepsakes along the way.
From the pointer to a spot on your desktop: let them stay close, roam, or settle where you put them.
Grown up, they have days of their own: a little doodle of you, a scroll on the phone, the meal of the day, a trip by bike, bus, boat, balloon or rocket.
A little beginning.
Finding their personality.
A familiar little friend.
A little life on your desktop
New players get one free Mate. If you already claimed up to three picks, they stay yours.
After launch, other Mates will be individual, one-time App Store purchases handled by Apple.
Coming to the Mac App Store as MacMates. More systems planned.
