Introduction

Bongo Copy Cat wants to be involved in everything you do but instead just imitates you hitting your keyboard all day. After all it's just a cat.

A desktop app built using the Tauri framework. Supported platforms: MacOS and Windows.

This is a practice project for me to learn Rust and Tauri. Read more about the idea on dev.to.

Here's the app in action.

About the meme

Bongo Cat is a meme created by DitzyFlama (tweet) using StrayRogue's drawing of a cat.

Libraries that made this possible

  • Rdev for listening to global input events on Mac OS.
  • InputBot for listening to global input events on Windows.

Installation Methods

  • Download exectuables for MacOS and Windows from the releases page.
  • Build it yourself.

Building

You can always build the project youself. This will prevent the system from throwing warnings while installing an unsigned application.

Run the following in a terminal.

git clone https://github.com/abjt14/bongo-copy-cat.git
cd bongo-copy-cat
npm install
npm run tauri build

Some OS specific caveats

Since this application is not signed, your operating system may warn you about the same.

Here's how you can fix the issues on your OS. Please note that these errors occur only on the "first run".

MacOs

  • In your System Preferences app, go to Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility, and click on Open Anyway.
  • Please note that this app requires access to Input Monitoring.
  • When you open the application, the system will ask you to allow it.
  • Even if you deny access the first time, you can always give the app access manially by going to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Input Monitoring.

Windows

  • When you first open the app, you will see a popup saying "Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unregonized app from starting.", and only one option saying "Don't run".
  • At the end of the warning, you'll see a link called More Info.
  • Once you click on that, you should see a new option at the botom called "Run anyway". Click on that button and the app will work perfectly.

Don't just clone the project, give the cat a star ⭐️
