Desktop Friend

A cozy desktop pet that lives on your monitor. Care for it, play with it, and watch it grow over time. Inspired by the virtual pets of the '90s (e.g., Tamagotchi*), now designed for your everyday PC life.

Bring that childhood feeling back — a small creature that depends on you, gently. Your desktop companion sits at the edge of the screen while you work, study, or game.

It asks for simple care: food, water, bath, play, cleaning — and responds with tiny moods and animations that make everyday moments feel alive.

No pressure, no heavy micromanagement: quick interactions, soothing vibes. As days pass, your pet grows and shows new behaviors. Leave it alone for too long, and it may get sick — or even pass away. The heart of the game is the bond you build: return, care, and watch happiness bloom again.

In addition to daily care, you can also customize your companion and environment with adorable items that add even more charm and personality to your pet.

Why you’ll love it

Real companionship: always there, never in the way.

Gentle care loop: subtle reminders, quick actions, stress-free.

Time-based growth: evolving stages and behaviors.

Cozy & cute: soft, comforting atmosphere for everyday life.

Meaningful stakes: your attention truly matters.
