Cursor Duck

A cute duck swims after your mouse pointer, lets you pet and feed it, and hunts fish. With ducklings and many duck models.

A little duck paddles across every website, following your mouse pointer — drawn entirely procedurally, without a single image asset, so she is pixel-crisp at any size. WHAT SHE CAN DO • Follows your cursor with real physics: she turns into her swimming direction, tilts her body toward her course, leaves a wake, and sprints when she falls behind. • Watches your cursor: head and body visibly track your pointer. • Petting: wiggle the cursor over her → hearts, blushing cheeks, happy quacks. • Feeding: double-click to toss bread crumbs — she picks them up one by one, and the ducklings join the feast. • Fish hunt: every now and then a fish shadow passes by. She chases it — and doesn't always catch it. • Visitors: every few minutes a wild duck stops by — quack duet with hearts included. • Dancing: wiggle the cursor quickly next to her → she dances. • Peekaboo: rest the cursor on her → she dives and pops up right next to it. • Dizziness: circle the cursor around her → she gets woozy. • Scroll current: scrolling briefly sweeps the duck family along. • Night mode: after 10 pm she gets sleepy sooner and dreams in little stars. • Napping, dabbling, diving, preening, bathing, pirouettes and more — she keeps herself busy, too. • Up to 6 fluffy ducklings swim behind her in a row. 36 MODELS Mallard, Rubber Duck, Mandarin Duck, Swan, Goose … plus fantasy ducks like Pirate, Wizard, Cyber Duck, Galaxy Duck, or the legendary Golden Duck. Seasonal: Pumpkin Duck in October, Christmas Duck in December. Rare models are marked; the dice button picks one at random. ACHIEVEMENTS 35 little badges in the popup — from petting fan and "It was THIS big!" to honorary woodpecker. SETTINGS Size, speed, number of ducklings, playfulness, opacity, effects, reflection, sound (synthesized quacking, off by default) — everything applies instantly. Individual sites can be paused. Alt+Shift+D toggles the duck. Fully available in English and German. PRIVACY No data collection, no network access, no external dependencies. The duck lives on its own canvas with pointer-events: none — clicks, text selection, and page layout remain untouched. New in 1.6.0: 🎵 Music & video: When a video or song with sound plays on the page (embedded players included), she dances along — in rounds, with breathers; the ducklings bob to the beat, and the first beat wakes a sleeping duck. Every now and then a little disco ball sinks in, throws colored spots on the water and the whole family goes wild for a few seconds: hops, wing flaps, colored notes, confetti. Pause the player and she stops. Muted autoplay videos don't count; the new 🪩 button in the popup throws a party on demand. 🎩 Wardrobe: 14 hats and 5 pairs of glasses for any model — top hat, crown, halo, ninja mask, sunglasses, monocle … Each piece is unlocked by an achievement (the lock tells you which one); the popup tiles preview them on your duck. 🏆 59 achievements in four tiers: 24 new badges from bronze through silver and gold to diamond — including three for the Tycoon Duck's gold bath. The header counts what you've collected. 📏 Distance to cursor: New slider so she never sits on the text you're reading — she still pecks briefly, then backs off again. 🐛 Pausing sites, properly: Paused sites didn't stay paused after switching tabs — fixed. Plus an editable list of all paused sites in the popup; an entry like example.com covers www. and every subdomain. And Alt+Shift+N now knows the Tycoon Duck, too. 🧹 Tidier popup: Every section collapses with a click on its heading, and the state is remembered. 🚀 Smoother on busy pages: The duck no longer triggers page layouts, its drawing area adapts to very large screens and is decoupled from the page — less stutter, especially on pages with lots going on.
