It's a developer toy that brings developers joy
Full kits coming soon. DIY version available now.
DeskHog is an open-source, 3D printed, palm-sized slice of developer joy
Open-source
We're open-source, and so is DeskHog. It's 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 10-hour 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.
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 10-hour battery life, WiFi, and a cute little LED.
It's a hand-made micro games console. It's a desktop terminal for PostHog data. It's a friend.
Want more hardware? We included an I²C expansion port, just for people like you.
Of course, we're making some games for it too
We're still nailing down the launch lineup, but you can build your own while you wait
Pog
It's Pong, but with a different name. It's perfect for playing on the toilet. Apparently.

IdleHog
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.
Built by: Joe Martin
Three Button Dungeon
It's a roguelike throwback, but this time the corridor is a desert. Wow!

A good idea is worth stealing. Even if it's Charles'.

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

Start your game development journey with DeskHog. Vibe coding encouraged!
DeskHog is optimized for vibe coding
Don't want to waste time writing C++ and fixing floating-point errors? We gotchu.
DeskHog is built with vibe coding in mind. We've prepared some ready-made files to give AI agents perfect context about DeskHog, plus a vibe coding guide to help you get started.
It will also have important business tools
(A great excuse to expense your DeskHog purchase)
Your phone and data are DeskHog's best friends
DeskHog can get online via a captive portal and pull insights from your PostHog projects. Scan the QR code with your phone to connect and link data to the Insight Keeper-upper.
The DIY version of DeskHog already supports simple insights, like big numbers and trends (squinting required), but we're working on more. And we're open source, so you can help!

Coming soon: DeskHog Pro & Friends?
This is just the beginning of the DeskHog adventure. If you like it we'll make more, maybe.
DeskHog Pro will connect via the I²C port, adding more buttons, and a huge dial so you can crank up the vibes. We're also thinking about making a watch strap, so you can wear DeskHog on your wrist.
