He hangs around
He lives above your taskbar, wandering about, scratching his head and reading the paper.
Made in Chennai · For Windows · Mac coming soon
A naughty monkey for your laptop.
Bandar lives above your taskbar. He wanders about, dances, reads the paper, steals your cursor and gives it back only for bananas. Just like the temple monkeys who run off with your specs.
Lifetime, no subscription · 200 naughty actions · 60 outfits · 9 Indian languages · Free updates forever
Psst… leave your mouse still for a few seconds. He's watching.
Psst… grab him and throw him. Or tap the orange button.
How it works
Three steps. One monkey. Zero shame.
Bandar is a tiny app that sits on top of everything on your screen. Most of the time he's harmless. Most of the time.
He snatches
Leave your mouse still and he tiptoes over and grabs your cursor. Chase him if you like.
You pay up
Press Spacethe banana button to throw him a banana. He eats it, drops your cursor and plans the next heist.
Make him yours
Name him. Tell him your name.
He uses both names when he talks to you, in your language. They stay on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
Chaos levels
You choose how naughty.
From "barely there" to "why did I install this". Pick one and he changes right now. You can also switch on the taskbar.
Calm
Wanders, naps and reads the paper. Steals only now and then. Safe for office laptops.
Naughty
A few heists a day. Grabs your cursor if you leave it lying around.
Full Bandar
Constant chaos. Peels, doodles, the whole gang. Good luck finishing that Excel sheet.
Big meeting? One shortcut sends him to sleep until you wake him.
On this page he's faster than in the real app, so you don't have to wait.
The catalogue
Everything Bandar can do
200 tricks so far. He does over 100 of them on his own, in a shuffled order: nothing repeats until he has done them all. The rest are games you play with him, things you do to him, and festival and time-of-day specials. Press Try and he does it on this page right now. The ones marked Experience on download he saves for your desktop.
The wardrobe
60 outfits. Or make your own.
Tap one and he changes on the spot. He remembers what you picked.
Free updates
He's bringing the gang.
Every new street animal arrives as a free update. Here's a sneak peek. Call one in.
Tobby the Indie dog
Naps on your taskbar, wags when you come back, and chases Bandar off when he steals your cursor.
Kaaka the crow
Swoops in for Bandar's banana and steals anything shiny off your screen.
Bujji the cow
Ambles in with her bell ringing and eats the banana peels he leaves lying about. He pets her and shares his banana.
Meet his friends
Once or twice an hour one of them drops by in a kurta to say hi, share a banana and get up to something naughty with him. On festival days they all come to celebrate.
Meenu the cat
Curious, a little dramatic, and always asking for fish. She cannot stop chasing Bandar’s tail.
Pandu the panda
The big softie of the gang. Always hungry, always sleepy, and wins every nap contest.
Dindim the penguin
Feels hot everywhere, wants ice cream every time, and belly-slides along your taskbar.
Eva the bunny
Bouncy and sweet, with a flower behind her ear. Challenges Bandar to hop races and always wins.

- Never types anything. Your keyboard is yours.
- Never closes your apps. Unsaved work stays safe.
- Never reads your screen. Or what you type, or where you browse.
- One shortcut sends him away. He naps by himself during video calls.

Coming soon · Friends Connect
Send your monkey to a friend.
Your Bandar can visit your friends' screens, wherever they are.
- Pick your Bandar name. Everyone gets one unique name, like naveen_dubakoor. Share it with friends.
- Add friends. Send a friend request with their name. Once they accept, you're connected.
- Send a message. Type a short note. Your monkey walks off your taskbar and pops up on your friend's: "Hi! Naveen says: Lunch at 1?"
- Delivered. He walks back home and shows you a tick. Friend offline? He waits and delivers it when they're back.
- Play dates. Two monkeys on one screen: they wave, play and share a banana.
Messages only, never anything from your screen or files. Free for everyone who adopts him.
Questions
Before you let a monkey in.
What's the bar at the bottom of this page?
It's only for this website, so you can play with him here. In the app he lives on your real Windows taskbar, and these controls sit in a small strip at the edge of your screen (and in the tray menu).
Is this page the real app?
No, it's a preview. The real app runs on your Windows desktop, on top of every app, and does the tricks marked "Experience on download" too.
Is it safe?
Yes. Bandar only borrows your pointer for a few seconds. He doesn't read your files or watch your screen. No tracking.
What if he steals my cursor during a meeting?
He naps by himself when a video call is full screen. Or press the nap shortcut. Or let him, and become a legend in your team.
Will it slow down my laptop?
No. He's a tiny app, and he naps most of the time.
Mac? Phone?
Windows now. Mac is coming soon, then Android.
Why bananas?
