Bites happen on a realistic and organic schedule, weighted by time of day and weather. When a fish bites, you get a gentle chime and a window to react.

While you work, study, game or browse, the boat is always there, anchored at the bottom of your screen.

Cast a line between meetings. Get Deskwaters and bring a little water to your workday.

Features:

🎣 Always-on-top desktop companion. Lives in a tiny transparent window on your taskbar. Stays out of the way of

everything else.

catch. Every species has its own illustrated journal entry.

⏳ Patience as a mechanic. Bites happen on a slow, organic schedule minutes to hours apart.

💰 A tiny Mermaid shop. Sell duplicates for coins, spend them on aquarium decor and other customizations.

🌅 Day, night, and weather. Synced to your system clock — what's biting at 2 PM isn't biting at midnight.
