CatTuber

作者应该是跑路了，地址b站，BV1sW4y1b7VT

注意：开发者最后一次更新是在 2 年前。 开发者在此处描述的信息和时间表可能不再是最新的。

之前是在B站直播看到有人用这个软件，感觉很好玩，就直接买了，当时也不懂看评论、销量等等的，现在看怎么这么惨淡，而且作者进度好慢啊（去查了github还在慢慢调，创意工坊开了跟没开一样，人自然就上不来。 先不提钱定价合不合适了（就是稍微有点贵，但是支持作者还是可以接受）。

很可爱，但是作者更新啊啊啊

发现有记速功能之后就马上买入了，对每天高强度码字但注意力容易分散的人来说，真的很需要这种反馈 除了创意工坊，还期待码字软件一类的计数功能 以及更多的打字反馈，类似于VS里的烟花插件 总之希望作者能早日完善这个软件，我很期待完整体。 （这对我很重要，我实在找不到第二款能这样带给我打字反馈的软件了）

CatTuber is an unusual and charming addition to Steam’s lineup—less a traditional game and more a desktop utility that injects personality into your keyboard and mouse inputs. Designed primarily for streamers, content creators, or just users who enjoy playful visual overlays, it turns mundane input tracking into an entertaining visual experience. Instead of cold, mechanical key indicators, CatTuber presents a customizable 2D character—usually a cat or a humanoid “cat dude”—who animates in real time based on how you interact with your device. It’s quirky, niche, and surprisingly functional, offering something between a productivity tool and a digital pet. At its core, CatTuber operates as a modular overlay system. You can customize and arrange a variety of UI components such as mouse overlays, keyboard tables, KPS (keys per second) meters, visual trails, and animated pens. These elements can be displayed in separate windows, allowing you to create elaborate input displays or more minimal, charming visuals to spice up your stream or desktop. Everything can be resized, repositioned, and layered across scenes. You can even save multiple layout presets and switch between them with ease, which proves incredibly helpful for content creators who switch between games, creative apps, or facecam overlays. Despite being a light app in terms of system requirements and interface design, CatTuber offers several surprisingly advanced features. It supports virtual camera output, making integration with OBS and other broadcasting software seamless. There’s also functionality for remote input streaming, allowing dual-PC streaming setups to display input data from the gaming machine on the streaming PC. Users can run the app independently of Steam, and updates—though infrequent—have introduced useful refinements like support for custom character poses and improved display responsiveness. The software’s documentation is basic, and some of the more technical features like custom “cat dude” character creation or L2D avatar support require external tools or manual file adjustments, which could be a barrier for non-technical users. While CatTuber is still in Early Access, the development pace has slowed. The last major update was over a year ago, and some of the more ambitious features promised early on—such as graphical layout editing, emoticon and reaction systems, MIDI/audio integration, and Steam Workshop support—remain unimplemented. For those hoping for a deeper virtual pet system or a built-in avatar editor, the current state may feel a little barebones. Still, the app delivers strongly on its core promise: it shows your inputs in a fun and animated way, which is more than enough for most of its users. Community reception has been overwhelmingly positive. Steam reviews consistently praise CatTuber for its charm, functionality, and novelty. Users appreciate that it does exactly what it advertises, often with delightful humor. Many comments describe it as a wholesome addition to their desktop or stream setup—“a cat that reacts when I game? Yes, please.” Some users do point out that creating and configuring custom characters can be unintuitive, especially when diving into features like layered animations or Live2D model integration. However, for most users, the default assets and UI offer enough variety to stay engaging without the need for deep customization. Financially, the game has been modestly successful for an indie utility of its kind. It’s priced affordably, typically under $5, and has sold enough units to earn tens of thousands in revenue. This isn’t a blockbuster by any means, but it has quietly carved out a dedicated niche—especially among VTubers and streamers looking to inject a little humor and personality into their content. Forums like Reddit’s Live2D and VTuber communities often cite CatTuber as the go-to application for integrating simple, expressive desktop pets or interactive overlays without delving into complex rigging software. What really elevates CatTuber is its commitment to its identity. It doesn’t try to be a game with progression systems or achievements. Instead, it leans into its function as a playful visualization tool, and it succeeds because of that focus. Its flexibility, from showing simple keystrokes to supporting more advanced overlay configurations, gives it lasting appeal even with minimal updates. For users who stream rhythm games, typing showcases, or even just want a cat companion reacting to their browsing habits, CatTuber offers a delightful, low-effort solution. In the end, CatTuber is a joyful, functional, and surprisingly robust application that brings a little life to the often sterile world of input overlays. While not a game in the traditional sense, it captures the playful spirit of indie development—offering something you didn’t know you needed until you saw it in action. Whether you’re a streamer, a content creator, or someone who just wants a cute, responsive cat on your screen, CatTuber is a clever and worthwhile addition to your desktop. Rating: 9/10

its pretty cute and simple but use 🥰

I really love the concept of this app and hope to one day be able to import my own model into it and use it for streaming. In its current state its a very barebones application with no instructions on how to use it or import your own models. I've owned it for years now and have tried messing around with it, but I ultimately decided to wait until more updates came out to make the process easier and more intuitive. At this point, there has not been an update in years and the only information out there about how to use some of the features are in chinese. I really want to recommend this app, but at this point it just seems like a dead project since the dev has basically vanished. So I cant in good faith recommend it. Although, if you dont mind using one of the few default models, it is a very cute little app to have running. TL:DR: Seemingly abandoned project which is a very cute concept that I hope someday gets a full release. If you want to use a default model to just have running while you game its cool but I would wait to purchase it until it (probably never) gets some updates.
