An animated companion that lives on your taskbar — reacts to your battery, weather, downloads, and even your mood. Pat it, throw it, or just let it wander while you work.
No installer required · Auto-starts with Windows · 100% free
Your pet actually lives on your screen — it reacts, talks, climbs windows, and gets moody if you ignore it.
Set your city and the pet checks real weather. On rainy days it hides under an umbrella. Sunny? It dances. Works with any city worldwide.
Mood changes based on how you treat it — saved between sessions. Ignore it for too long and it sulks.
The pet detects open app windows and hops onto their top edge. Right-click → Sit on window.
Balloon, rocket, portal, moonwalk, freeze, cursor steal — trigger them from the right-click menu any time.
Reacts to low battery, downloads finishing, File Explorer opening, idle time, and more — automatically.
Left-click to pat · Double-click to hear it talk · Drag to move it anywhere · Release fast to fling it · Shake it for a surprise reaction.
Add your own messages in Settings → Speech. The pet mixes them with its built-in lines.
Spawn more than one pet — they interact with each other on the taskbar.
Snow in winter, cherry blossoms in spring, autumn leaves in fall — automatic based on your system date.
Living on your taskbar, sitting on windows, reacting to everything.
Each character has its own personality, sound effects, and speech lines. More coming soon.
