Your desktop has a cat problem. Cats roam your real open windows, loaf in the quiet moments, and leave you small gifts while you work.
We updated our Privacy Policy for Debug Replay, a new bug-report tool that is off unless you turn it on. See what changed.
Cats that live on your real open windows. Your browser, your spreadsheet, your inbox: they treat all of it as terrain. They walk across the top of Chrome, jump to another app, claim a spot and refuse to move. No separate game window. It runs as a transparent overlay on your actual desktop.
Other desktop pet games treat the screen as a flat surface or snap to window edges. Loafstead cats use real window geometry as physics platforms: move a window and the cat shifts; close one and they fall.
Windows and macOS. (Bit tricky in Linux but looking into it.)
Loafstead is coming soon to Steam. No release date has been announced. Wishlist it on Steam to be notified when it launches.
Loafstead is designed to stay out of your way. It runs as a background overlay and is built to use minimal CPU. A frame rate cap is included so you can tune performance to your liking. If you notice any performance impact, let us know in the Discord.
No. Loafstead reads window positions and sizes from the operating system to know where to put the cats. Window titles are never loaded into memory and are replaced with numeric IDs in the code. It never reads, captures, records, or processes anything displayed inside your windows.
If Debug Replay is on, Loafstead also keeps where your windows and mouse pointer were (even over other apps) for the last hour, on your computer, as numbers, not video. See "What is Debug Replay?" below.
Debug Replay is a record of the last hour Loafstead was open on your computer. It helps us find and fix bugs. It keeps the shapes and positions of your windows, your mouse pointer (even over other apps), your game settings, what the cats do, the game's own log messages, and basic facts about your computer, such as the system version and graphics card. It is numbers, not video. Full details in the Privacy Policy.
No. It has no pictures or video of your screen, and it never sees what is inside your windows. It keeps numbers: where your windows are and how big they are, where your mouse pointer is, and what the cats are doing. It never keeps window titles or app names.
No. It never keeps what you type, which keys you press, or your cats' names. For a cat's name, it only notes whether you renamed the cat and how long the name is.
In test builds (the Loafstead Playtest, and the latest branch of the demo on Steam), it is on from the start. Testers choose before they get a key: agree to it, or test without it. If you chose to test without it, turn it off in Settings > Privacy, or set the launch option from your invite. In every other version it is off until you turn it on in Settings > Privacy. The game never asks.
Open Settings, go to Privacy, and turn off Debug Replay. That deletes the file straight away, and you keep playing or testing as usual.
While Debug Replay is on, Send Feedback in the game (right-click menu, Windows
tray or Mac menu bar) sends it with your report. A test build also sends it on
the next start after a crash. To send it by hand instead: open Settings and go
to Privacy. If Debug Replay is off, turn it on and wait for the problem to
happen again. Then click Go next to Open Save Folder. Email
only the file called debug-replay.loafreplay to
replays@loafstead.gg, or send it to gak in a
Discord direct message. Never post it in a public channel, and please don't send
the whole folder: it has your save file too. Send it soon after the problem: it
only keeps the last hour.
Nobody, unless you send it. The game never uploads it. If you send it to us, we use it only to fix bugs and delete it 90 days after it arrives. We never post a video made from it without your written OK.
In some countries, including Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland, you have to be 16 to agree to this kind of data use on your own. We use the same age everywhere to keep it simple. Joining a test is for players 18 and over, because test builds keep a Debug Replay from the start. If you are under 16, please keep Debug Replay off. If you are under 18, please don't join a test.
Yes. Hide Loafstead (right-click any cat, or the menu bar on macOS, system tray on Windows) instantly hides the overlay and pauses the simulation. Fullscreen apps such as video calls in fullscreen hide it on their own. Everything resumes exactly where it left off when you show it again.
Loafstead will be $9.99 USD on Steam. There is also a Supporter Edition at $14.99 USD. No in-app purchases, no subscriptions.
No. Loafstead launches as a complete 1.0 game. What you buy on day one is the finished thing, not a work in progress.
No. The demo and the full game keep separate saves, so the full game starts fresh.
When Loafstead is running, the overlay appears as a fullscreen window to macOS, which prevents the window picker (⌘⌃⇧4 → Space) from seeing individual windows underneath.
Use ⌘⇧3 for a full-screen capture or ⌘⇧4 (drag a region) instead -- both work great and capture your cats exactly as you see them.
For quick questions, Discord is faster. For bug reports and suggestions, use the form below.
Loafstead does not capture, read, or transmit anything from your screen. It cannot see your windows' contents, your browsing history, or what apps you have open.
If Debug Replay is on, Loafstead keeps a record of the last hour on your computer, to help us fix bugs. It is numbers, not video: the shapes and positions of your windows, where your mouse pointer was (even over other apps), and what the cats did. It is off unless you turn it on, except in test builds, where testers agree to it or turn it off. It is sent to us when you use Send Feedback in the game, or if you send the file yourself. Test builds also send it after a crash. See Debug Replay.
To know where to put the cats, Loafstead reads window positions and sizes from the operating system. This is the same information any window manager uses.
Window titles are never loaded into memory. The code uses only
numeric window identifiers (like #12345). Human-readable
window titles, document names, and app names are never stored, logged,
or transmitted.
All of this happens locally on your computer. The game does not send your window list anywhere. Crash reports you agree to send can include where your cats were and the window-top points they headed for. If Debug Replay is on, the shapes and positions of your windows are also saved in the Debug Replay file on your computer. That file reaches us only when you use Send Feedback in the game, when you send it yourself, or, in a test build, after a crash (see Debug Replay).
This applies to the direct download only. The Steam version uses Steam's own update system and never contacts loafstead.gg for updates.
On startup, and then once per hour while the app is running, Loafstead makes an HTTPS request to check for a newer version. This request goes through Cloudflare to loafstead.gg. The server receives your IP address and User-Agent. No account information, game data, or device identifiers are sent. This happens regardless of your crash report preference and cannot be disabled.
If a newer version is available, it downloads and installs automatically, then restarts Loafstead.
If Loafstead crashes, it saves a crash report to disk. No data is sent unless you choose to share it. The default is not opted in.
On the next launch after a crash, a dialog explains your right to withdraw consent at any time and offers four choices: Send Once, Always Send, No Thanks, or Never Ask. You can change your choice at any time using the menu bar (macOS) or system tray (Windows). Choosing "Always Send" also enables real-time error reporting for errors that occur during normal gameplay, not just after a crash.
A crash report contains:
A crash report does not contain:
Crash reports are sent to GlitchTip, an open-source error tracking tool (similar to Sentry), running on a server we host ourselves in Tasmania, Australia. This is not a third-party analytics or cloud service. Your crash data does not go to Google, Amazon, Microsoft, or any other company.
While crash reports themselves do not contain IP addresses, the server receives your IP as part of the HTTPS connection. This IP appears in server access logs but is not embedded in the crash report file. IP addresses are anonymized and not stored alongside crash data.
Crash reports are transmitted over HTTPS (TLS). Access to our GlitchTip instance is restricted to authorised personnel. Crash data is automatically deleted after 90 days.
Loafstead keeps a log file, loafstead.log, on your
computer. It lists what the game did and when, to help find problems.
On Windows it is in %APPDATA%\loafstead\logs\. On a Mac
it is in ~/Library/Logs/loafstead/. The demo uses
loafstead-demo in place of loafstead.
The log file grows each time you play, until you delete it. The game never sends the log file itself. Crash reports you agree to send include up to 1,000 recent log lines, as described above, and a Debug Replay, if it is on, keeps some log lines and is sent as described in Debug Replay. You can delete the file at any time.
File paths in the log keep their folders. In a path inside your user folder (your home folder on a Mac), your computer account name is replaced with a placeholder. A path outside it, such as a network folder set up by a school or workplace, can include it. We may ask you to send us the log file to help with a bug. Sending it is up to you. We treat it like a Debug Replay you send us, and delete it 90 days after it arrives.
Loafstead can optionally send gameplay events to help improve the game. This is turned off by default. You can enable or disable it at any time in Settings.
This data is pseudonymous: a random install ID links your events. It is not tied to your name, account, or hardware, and you can reset it or request deletion at any time.
Events include things like app start, session end, visitor spawned, and cat adopted. Each event carries:
When you drop a cat or toy, the event also includes where on the screen you let go, as a share of the screen's width and height, and where on the cat or toy you picked it up. This is one point per drop, not a record of your pointer's movement. You can drop a cat anywhere, so that point can be over another app's window.
We keep events no longer than 90 days. Cloudflare Analytics Engine enforces this automatically and we do not re-ingest or archive to extend it. If this ever changes, we will update this page first.
Your IP address is seen by Cloudflare at the edge solely for rate-limiting and abuse detection within a single UTC day. We store only a daily-rotated hash. It cannot link your sessions across days, and we never write your raw IP to the analytics dataset.
Analytics data is processed by Cloudflare, Inc. (United States) via Cloudflare Analytics Engine. The transfer is covered by the Cloudflare Customer DPA, which provides contractual protections for cross-border data transfers as required by Australian Privacy Principle 8. See Cloudflare's sub-processor list for full details.
To stop analytics collection and delete your data: disable analytics in Settings, then email privacy@gak.dev. We will stop collecting your data within 7 days of your email. Existing events age out automatically within 90 days. EU users: we will confirm full deletion within 30 days of your request. California residents: we do not sell or share your personal information.
For full details on the analytics infrastructure, data pipeline, and retention, see the Gak Dev privacy policy.
Debug Replay is a record of the last hour Loafstead was open, kept in one file on your computer. It helps us find and fix bugs. It is not a video. It is numbers: the boxes of your windows, what the cats did, where your mouse pointer was, and the sounds the game played.
Debug Replay is for players 16 and over, in every version of the game. Joining a test is for players 18 and over.
Your mouse pointer, said plainly. While Debug Replay is on and Loafstead is showing, it records where your mouse pointer is every time the game updates. That is 2 to 60 or more times a second. It records this even when your pointer is over other apps. This is the most personal thing in the file. It does not record clicks in other apps: Loafstead only sees clicks on its own cats, toys and menus.
latest branch of the Loafstead Demo on Steam): Debug Replay is on from the moment the game starts. You answer before you get your test key: you agree to it, or you choose to test without it (see "Joining a test" below). The first time a test build keeps a Debug Replay, the game shows this message once: "This test build keeps a Debug Replay. Turn it off any time in Settings > Privacy." A test build also sends it to us on the next start after the game crashed or did not close normally, and each time you use Send Feedback in the game.If we change Debug Replay so that it keeps more, goes to anyone new, or is used for something new, a yes you gave before no longer counts. Testers are asked again before the change reaches them; if we can't ask first, test builds start with Debug Replay off. In other versions, the switch turns off until you turn it on again.
While Loafstead is paused. When you use Quick Hide, when the overlay is hidden, when your display is asleep, or when an app you are using covers your whole screen, such as a fullscreen game or video (unless you turned off "Hide Loafstead in fullscreen apps" in Settings, or chose Show Loafstead), Debug Replay stops recording your pointer, your windows and what the game draws. The game keeps running, so it still records game events, reason codes and coins, with no positions. That way, if a cat is hungry when you come back, the file shows why. From the game log, it keeps only warnings and errors.
The file is called debug-replay.loafreplay. It sits in your
save folder: %APPDATA%\loafstead\ on Windows, or
~/Library/Application Support/loafstead/ on a Mac. The demo
uses loafstead-demo in place of loafstead. The
Loafstead Playtest uses the same folder as the full game. To find it,
open Settings > Privacy and click Go next to Open Save Folder.
prefs.json. It is not synced, and starting a new save does not change it.We give test builds only to people we invite, each with their own Steam key. We invite you by hand, in a Discord direct message (or by email if you prefer), with this text, word for word:
This is a test build, and it keeps a Debug Replay: a record of the last hour Loafstead was open on your computer. That means the shapes and positions of your windows, your pointer (even over other apps), your game settings, what the cats do, the game's own log messages, and basic facts about your computer, such as the system version and graphics card. It is not a video. It never keeps what you type, your cats' names, or window or app names. It is sent to us, Slowchop Studios, to help fix a bug when you use Send Feedback in the game, and on the next start after the game crashed or did not close normally. Otherwise it stays on your computer unless you send it to us yourself. You can turn it off any time in Settings > Privacy and keep testing. Only join if you are 18 or over.
Privacy Policy: https://loafstead.gg/privacy/#debug-replay
Reply with one of these:
We send your key only after you reply. Replying "Yes" is your yes to Debug Replay. Replying "test without it" is a no, and you still get your key.
If you choose to test without it: on each computer you test on, before
you start the game, open Steam, right-click Loafstead Demo (or Loafstead
Playtest), choose Properties, then General, and paste
--debug-replay=off into Launch Options. Keep it there
while you test. The game then stores your choice as off and deletes
any Debug Replay file. If you go back to the normal demo, clear it
first: older builds don't know it and won't start. If you started
the game before setting it, turn Debug Replay off in
Settings > Privacy; that deletes what it kept.
On a Mac, also turn Debug Replay off in Settings > Privacy when you first play. If it kept anything before then, turning it off deletes it.
If we change the Debug Replay text in a way that needs a new yes, we message every tester with the new text and ask you to reply again. If you don't reply by the deadline, we ban your test key. Please also uninstall the test build then, because Debug Replay is on by default there.
What we keep about you is described in Testing Loafstead.
Turning Debug Replay off works the same in every version: open Settings, go to Privacy, and turn off the Debug Replay switch. You keep playing or testing as usual. Turning it off deletes the Debug Replay file straight away, and nothing recorded before you turned it off can come back. If the file can't be deleted at that moment, the game deletes it the next time it starts.
You can also delete the file yourself at any time. If Debug Replay is still on, the game starts a new one.
From the game. While Debug Replay is on, Send Feedback (in the right-click menu, the Windows tray or the Mac menu bar) sends the file to us and opens our feedback form with a code that links your report to the file. A test build also sends it on the next start after the game crashed or did not close normally (for example if it was killed or the computer lost power). The game sends only the file, that code, the game version, your platform (Windows or Mac) and which version of this policy applied. Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) carries it and stores it for us. Cloudflare sees your IP address to deliver it and to limit how many files one address can send. Our Cloudflare request logs may hold your IP address and the request details (not the file) for up to 7 days; we never store your IP address with the file or copy it anywhere else. A short note that a file arrived (its code, size, game version and platform) goes to our private Discord channel, as feedback does, and is deleted with the file. If you don't want it sent, turn Debug Replay off first, or open loafstead.gg/feedback/ in your browser instead.
By hand. If we ask you for one:
debug-replay.loafreplay: email it to replays@loafstead.gg, or send it to gak in a Discord direct message. You can add a note about what went wrong. Never post it in a public channel: anyone there could download it. Please don't send the whole folder: it has your save file too.Please send it soon after the problem: it only keeps the last hour.
What we do with it. We save the file in one folder on our own computer, then delete the email. A file the game sent also stays in Cloudflare's storage until it is deleted there, 90 days after it arrives. Only you can delete a direct message, so please delete it once we say we have the file. We use it only to find and fix bugs. We may look through it with our own tools, turn it into a video on our computer (with made-up app pages drawn where your windows were), or rebuild your game progress from it to reproduce a bug. We may also use AI coding tools to help read it. They are run by companies in the USA, and we only use them with settings that stop them training on your file. Ask us and we'll tell you which ones. We delete the file 90 days after it arrives, along with your note and the videos, render settings and test setups we made from it. Our notes about the bug may stay, but they never include the file or your game progress. We never post a video made from your file without your separate written OK. We never add players' files to our code.
If you send it in a direct message, Discord, Inc. (USA) carries it under Discord's privacy policy. If you email it, your own email provider carries it to our own mail server in Australia.
Asking us to delete it sooner. Email privacy@gak.dev and tell us roughly when you sent it, and how: from the game (with the code, if you have it), in a direct message or by email.
Debug Replay relies on your consent, in every version of the game (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). Because the file is stored on your device, the consent rule in Article 5(3) of the EU ePrivacy Directive also applies. In test builds, you give consent by replying "Yes, and I'm 18 or over" to our invite. In other versions, you give it by turning on the switch in Settings > Privacy. You can withdraw it at any time with the Settings switch, in every version. Testers too: you agreed in Discord, and you turn it off in the game. The switch works on this computer only, so turn it off on each computer you test on, or use the launch option above. You can also tell us in #testers or at privacy@gak.dev, and we will note it. Withdrawing does not affect your test access.
Debug Replay is for players 16 and over, in every version of the game. We don't ask your age. In some countries you have to be 16 to agree to this on your own, so we use 16 everywhere. Joining a test is for players 18 and over, because test builds keep a Debug Replay from the start. If we learn that a tester is under 18, or that someone who sent us a Debug Replay is under 16, we delete their file and the messages we can delete, and ban their test key. We also ask a tester under 18 to uninstall the test build, because Debug Replay is on by default there.

If you are a streamer and you connect your Twitch account from the in-game menu, Loafstead stores your Twitch access token and refresh token in your operating system's secure keyring (macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, or equivalent).
These tokens allow the game to listen to your chat channel for viewer commands such as !feed and !visitor.

The Loafstead community has a Discord server. Discord is a separate service operated by Discord Inc. Joining and using the Discord server is subject to Discord's privacy policy.
We hand out test keys by hand. We invite you in a Discord direct message (or by email), with the Debug Replay text (see Debug Replay), and send your key after you reply.
What we keep about you, in one private list:
Our messages to each other stay in Discord or email while you test.
If you later turn Debug Replay off in Settings, the list still shows your first answer, but the game follows the switch on that computer. You can also tell us, and we will note it in the list.
Why. To give and take away test access, and to keep proof of your Debug Replay answer, which the law asks us to be able to show (GDPR Art. 7(1)).
Your right to object. You can object to us keeping these records at any time. Email privacy@gak.dev or ask gak in the Loafstead Discord server. Because the records are how we give out keys, objecting means you leave the test, as asking for deletion does.
How long. While you have test access. When your access ends, or if you ask us, we ban your key, delete your row from the list, and delete the messages we sent you. Only you can delete the messages you sent.
Asking for deletion. Email privacy@gak.dev, or ask gak in the Loafstead Discord server. Asking for deletion means you leave the test. We ban your key, then delete your row and our messages to you. Please also uninstall the test build, because Debug Replay is on by default there.
Other services. Discord, Inc. (USA) carries our messages under Discord's privacy policy, and email providers carry email. Steam handles redeeming your key under Valve's privacy policy. We keep the list, encrypted, in our password manager, 1Password (AgileBits Inc., Canada), on its servers in the USA.
The feedback form at loafstead.gg/feedback/ lets you submit bug reports and suggestions. Submitting the form sends the following data to our Cloudflare Worker:
Submissions are forwarded to a private Discord channel operated by Slowchop Studios. Discord, Inc. is based in the United States; see Discord's privacy policy for how they handle data on their platform.
The feedback form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent automated spam. Turnstile verifies that the submission comes from a real person without using intrusive tracking. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
Feedback data is used only to improve Loafstead. If you include your email, we may reply to follow up on your report. We do not add you to any mailing list. If you want your submission deleted, email hello@loafstead.gg with the approximate date and feedback type.
Loafstead is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 must not enable analytics or crash reporting.
Debug Replay is for players 16 and over, and joining a test is for players 18 and over. If we learn that a tester is under 18, or that someone who sent us a Debug Replay is under 16, we delete their file and the messages we can delete, and ban their test key. We also ask a tester under 18 to uninstall the test build, because Debug Replay is on by default there.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child submitted a crash report, enabled analytics, sent us a Debug Replay, or joined a test, contact us at privacy@gak.dev and we will delete their data promptly.
You can withdraw consent for crash reporting, analytics, or Debug Replay at any time in Settings. Withdrawing is as easy as granting it, and does not affect the lawfulness of any data already collected. Turning Debug Replay off also deletes the Debug Replay file on that computer. The switch works on that computer only, and testers keep their test access.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link at the bottom of any email, or by contacting hello@loafstead.gg.
You can request access to, correction of, portability of, or deletion of your data, or object to or restrict how we use it, by emailing privacy@gak.dev. For crash reports, we may need identifying details (such as a crash timestamp) to locate specific reports. For a Debug Replay you sent us, tell us roughly when you sent it and how. For test access records, tell us your Discord name.
