Kick Kick - A Desk Toy
Soccer, one flick at a time
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Kick Kick puts a football goal on your desktop. The ball sits wherever it last came to rest. Drag it toward the goal, let go, and watch the line. That is the whole game.
There is no game window — nothing to move, nothing to resize, nothing to close. Your whole screen is the pitch, and everything on it carries on underneath.
HOW IT PLAYS
THROW IT, DON'T SLING IT — Drag the ball toward where you want it to go, not away from it. The goal sits at the top of the screen and a new ball arrives near the bottom, so pulling back would have run the cursor straight into the edge of the screen and wasted most of the power range.
A LINE, NOT AN ARC — The pitch is flat and seen from above, so there is no gravity and no drop. What you are judging is the angle, and a dotted guide leaves the ball while you aim — computed by the same physics the ball itself uses, so it cannot lie. It stops early, though. The rest is your judgement.
THE POSTS ARE REAL — They are round and they bounce, and the ball comes off them dead rather than lively, because a post should feel like a miss and not like a second chance.
THE GOAL IS FREE-STANDING — There is no invisible wall along the goal line. The ball can go behind the goal, and if the attempt ends back there it is brought out again. Goals only count on the way in.
SCORE AND THE MOUTH NARROWS — Every goal in a row takes a little off the goal. Miss once and it opens back up. From three in a row it starts drifting sideways while you aim. That is the entire difficulty curve: no levels, no modes, no menus to learn.
A MISS COSTS THE ANGLE — The ball stays where it stopped, so a bad shot does not just cost you the goal; it decides where you are shooting from next.
BUILT TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY
• Clicks fall straight through. Kick Kick covers the screen but listens only while the cursor is actually on the ball; everywhere else your editor, your browser and your Dock behave exactly as if it were not running
• It cannot take keyboard focus. Click the ball and the app you were typing in stays the active one — which is also why there are deliberately no keyboard shortcuts
• No Dock icon, no window in your app switcher, no notifications. It lives in the menu bar, and the icon there carries the live score
• Show / Hide, New Ball, Reset Score, mute, volume, light and dark, always on top, ball trail and open at login are all one click away in that menu
• A ball at rest stops the animation timer dead — nothing is stepped and nothing is redrawn. What keeps running is the audio engine holding the output awake, about half a percent of one core, and that is what stops the first kick after a quiet spell from arriving without its attack
• Every sound — the kick, the post, the crossbar, the goal — is synthesised in code when the app starts. Nothing is streamed and nothing is fetched, and the whole app is about one megabyte
• Sleep, waking up, plugging in headphones or an external display: the audio engine rebuilds itself instead of quietly going silent by the afternoon
PRIVACY
Kick Kick collects nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no network code of its own. It asks for no permissions at all — not the microphone, not the camera, not your files, not accessibility. Your score is a number in your Mac's own preferences.
PRICE
Free. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads, and no "pro" version withholding half the game. Every future update is included, and Family Sharing covers your own Macs.
Requires macOS 13 or later. Apple silicon and Intel.

A new app icon — the football itself, on the same pitch-green tile. Nothing about the game has changed.
