About
Vibe Eyes puts a small animated character in the macOS menu bar. Each one tracks your cursor with its eyes, blinks on its own, winks when you click and glances up when you come back to the Mac, with adjustable pupil size and optional one-minute eye-break exercises. Eleven characters are included free, and a $14.99 one-time Plus unlock adds Studio, which turns a single photo of your own pet into a matching menu bar avatar using your own Gemini, OpenRouter or OpenAI-compatible key. It is a native SwiftUI app with no account and no analytics, and the cursor position never leaves the Mac. It needs macOS 14 or later.
