Bonk Duck sits on your desk and waits patiently for your worst moments. When the build fails, the meeting runs long or the printer jams again, give its head a bonk. It'll squeak back something kind.
No app, no account, no Wi-Fi. Just a duck and a soft, well-engineered head.
Merge conflicts, reply-all storms, a coffee machine that's "descaling." You know the feeling.
A pressure sensor under its squishy head registers your bonk. Gentle tap or a proper thwack, either one counts.
Bonk Duck picks one of 200+ encouraging phrases and says it out loud. You'll probably smile, even if you don't want to.
We spent a lot of time thinking about ducks. Probably too much.
Food-safe silicone over a reinforced core. Bonk Duck can take it, and so can you.
The phrase shuffler keeps Bonk Duck from saying the same thing twice in a row. Nobody wants a broken-record duck.
Flip the tail switch and Bonk Duck whispers instead. Good for open offices and late nights.
Two AAAs at roughly 40 bonks a day. If you're bonking more than that, please take a walk.
Explain your bug to the duck like always. Now the duck answers, and it's on your side.
English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and seven more. It's very kind in every one of them.
A small sample from the duck's repertoire.
Notes from our (very real, very bonked) prototype program.
"I bonked it 47 times during one deploy. By the end it told me I was 'a whole flock of competence.' I'll take it."
"My team got me one as a joke. Now there's a waitlist to borrow it during sprint planning."
"Took a star off because now I look forward to things going wrong. Not sure that's healthy."
The first batch ships this spring. Reserve yours now. You won't be charged until it ships.
One duck for one desk.
One for you, one for the coworker who needs it more.
Ten ducks for teams that ship under pressure.
No. Bonk Duck was designed to be bonked. Its head is soft silicone over a sprung sensor, and it seems to enjoy the attention.
Yes. Hold the tail switch for three seconds to record up to 10 custom messages. Your mom's voice saying "you're doing great, sweetie" works especially well.
Bonk Duck notices. Firmer bonks get gentler, slower responses, like "Hey. Breathe. It's going to be okay."
Yes, for ages 3+. The battery door is screwed shut and there are no small parts. Kids get frustrated too.
It floats, and it's splash-resistant (IPX4). Please don't take it scuba diving.
