DeskHog

It's a developer toy that
brings developers joy

Yes, we make hardware now.

DeskHog is an open-source, 3D printed, and palm-sized slice of developer joy.

  • Open-source

    We're open-source, which means DeskHog is yours to hack. Build your own games and tools with AI editors (or C++ if you're a masochist).

  • 3D printed

    Danilo prints these at home and assembles them by hand. It's a friction-fit labor of love. Or you can print your own from the files on GitHub.

  • Palm-sized

    DeskHog is small enough to fit in your pocket. It's got a 7-day battery life, WiFi, and a cute flashing LED so you can find it in the dark.

But what is DeskHog really?
It's a teeny, tiny, beast.

Yes, someone from our marketing team makes these by hand at home. But it still kicks ass.

DeskHog packs a ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather in a custom-made 3D printed case. It comes complete with a 240x135 color TFT display, a 7-day battery life, WiFi, and a cute little LED.

Can it play Pong? Yes.
Can it play Flappy Bird? Yes.
Can it play Doom? ...We're working on it.

Want more hardware? We included an I²C expansion port, just for people like you.

Of course we made some games for it

(but you can make your own too)

Pog

It's Pong, but with a different name. It's perfect for playing on the toilet. Apparently.

Idle Value Generator

It's a wry satire. It's an idle clicker game. It's delivering shareholder value.

One Button Dungeon

It's a roguelike throwback about an endless corridor. Such is life.

We were a little worried we'd be sued if we called this what it really is.

Flappy Hog

Despite the title, this game has neither hedgehogs nor flapping.

Hang on. I can make my own games for it? Yep, just head to GitHub to get started.

It also has important business tools

(A great excuse to expense your DeskHog purchase)

Your phone is DeskHog's best friend

Scan the QR code with your phone to access a portal where you can configure your DeskHog, connect to WiFi, and link data from your PostHog instance to the Insight Keeper-upper.

You can also use the mobile app to add new cards to your DeskHog. Cards are the building block of the DeskHog UI, and they include all the standard tools and games. Rearrange them as you like, or build new ones, to make DeskHog your own.
