Desktop companion · Windows 10 / 11

A cat that lives on your desktop and actually helps you work.

It watches your cursor, kneads its paws while you type, reminds you to drink water, runs your Pomodoros — and celebrates when your coding agent finishes a task.

What it does

A companion, not a chatbot with a cat picture.

Every behaviour runs locally and offline. The AI is an optional layer on top — the pet is fully alive without it.

Presence

Lives on your desktop

Transparent, always-on-top, and click-through everywhere except the cat itself — so your desktop stays completely usable.

Reacts

Knows what you're doing

Follows your cursor, kneads its paws while you type, overheats when you type too fast, and startles at a fast scroll.

Physical

Pick it up and pet it

Drag it and it stretches like mochi, then bounces back. Stroke its head for hearts and purring. Tap it and you'll get an indignant "ow".

Focus

Pomodoro that behaves

During focus it goes quiet and still. On the break it stretches, plays, and celebrates when the cycle completes.

Health

Water & stretch nudges

A gentle reminder every 15 minutes (yours to configure) to drink water and unhunch your shoulders.

Planning

Reminders & tasks

Schedule reminders once, daily or on weekdays. Keep a task list the cat will politely nag you about.

Control

Music without leaving the page

Hover the cat and a control pill slides out above its head: play, pause, skip and volume for whatever's playing, be it Spotify, a browser tab, anything.

Play

Games, XP and bond

Reaction and memory games earn XP. Your bond deepens from Stranger to Special Bond through ordinary use.

Make it yours

Six characters, fully recolourable

Classic, robot, caped hero, masked acrobat, armoured tech, and a samurai cat with a dramatic entrance.

Optional AI layer

Talk to it. Or let it watch your agent work.

Bring your own provider. Every API call happens in the native layer, so your key never touches the web view — and the window keeps a strict content-security policy.

Agent aware

It reacts to your coding agent

Point Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or a shell script at a local endpoint. The cat looks curious while the agent works and celebrates when it lands.

Memory

Remembers, visibly

Every remembered fact is listed, editable and deletable. Nothing is stored quietly behind your back.

Voice of its own

Personality & language

Eight personalities. Replies in English, Telugu, Hindi — or a natural Telugu-English mix.

# tell the pet what your agent is doing
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8787/agent/status \
  -H "X-PixelPaw-Token: <your-token>" \
  -d '{"agent":"claude-code","status":"working"}'

Loopback only. Token-authenticated. It reacts — it never executes anything.

Privacy

It watches your cursor, not your life.

Keyboard Counts keypresses to time the kneading animation. Which keys you press is never read, stored or sent.
Mouse & scroll Cursor position and wheel delta drive the reactions. Nothing is recorded.
Network No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts. The only outbound traffic is the AI provider you choose to configure.
Your data Settings, memories and progress live on your machine. Every monitor has its own switch in the privacy dashboard.
