So, I was browsing around and came across the Shimeji app. It’s this cute little app that lets you have animated characters on your desktop. I thought, “Hey, why not give it a try?” Setting it up on my Mac was actually pretty simple, and I’d love to share how I did it with you!

Getting Started with Shimeji on Mac

First things first, you need to download the Shimeji app. Just pop over to their website and grab it. Once you’ve got it, here’s what you need to do:

• Locate the downloaded file (it usually goes to your Downloads folder).


• Double-click the file to open it.


• Drag the Shimeji app into your Applications folder.

That’s it for the installation! Now, let’s get it running on your Mac.
