Bytesized Eyes

SMALL SCREEN. BIG CHARACTER.

A little screen.
A whole lot of soul.

NOT JUST A PICTURE. A LITTLE BUDDY.

Your desk.
Plus a plus-one.

On a small display like the Wokyis, a passing glance or a blink becomes a little moment of company. Your Mac does its thing. Your companion does theirs.

Play the desk illustration to see the idea in context. This previously published promotional scene uses earlier artwork; the animated cards on this page preview the next look.

Illustrative AI-styled scene with independently choreographed eyes—not screen tracking. Mac and display sold separately. Not affiliated with Wokyis or Apple.

A little soul for your little Mac screen.

Less utility. More personality.

A presence, not a distraction.

Patient glances, natural blinking, and calm movement give your desk a pulse—without notifications, chores, or a conversation demanding your attention.

MADE FOR THE SCREEN BESIDE YOUR MAC

It simply finds its place.

    Connect your display

    Use the small HDMI or USB-C screen already living beside your Mac.

    Keep one favorite, build a rotation, and use character colors or one color of your own.

    Bytesized Eyes fills the companion display cleanly and can return when you log in.

CALM INCLUDES PRIVACY

Your companion doesn’t watch you.

No camera. No microphone. No account in the Mac app. No advertising or usage analytics. CPU readings stay on your Mac. Just a little company, without the conversation.
