The opposite of "weird" is "boring". — Bruce the Wonder Yak
A faithful recreation of the classic Final Cut Pro mascot/easter egg. Summon Bruce the Wonder Yak and watch him trot across your screen to graze and share his pearls of "wisdom." But don't get too close or you might scare him off.

Unzip the release, then drag Call the Yak.app to your Applications folder.
Bruce runs in your menu bar with options to:
- Call the Yak to summon Bruce immediately
- Settings to adjust how often he appears (5 min to 2 hours)
- Quit Bruce, when you've had enough yak
When Bruce appears:
- A grass patch poofs into existence on your screen
- Bruce trots in from the right
- He stops, grazes, and shares a random musings in a thought bubble
- He'll loops through his library of quotes until you move your mouse near him, at which point he'll bolt off-screen
Requires Xcode 15+ and macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later.
