Roams around
Wanders across your desktop and along the top of every window — never sits still.
It lives on your desktop — roaming around, typing along, grooving to your music, curling up when it's sleepy. Quiet, easy, always there.
It knows every window on your screen — strolling along title bars, climbing up and down their edges. Move a window and it rides along; close one and it parachutes down.
One photo is all it takes — someone you miss, your cat, or even you.
A person, your cat, someone you miss, or you.
Chibi, plush, pixel, watercolor… choose the vibe.
In about a minute they're walking your desktop.
Your photo is used once to create the character — never published, never reused.
Gaslit, scapegoated, pinged on a Sunday… turn them into a helpless little desktop pet.
Poke the groveling boss. It helps, honestly.
Pick it up and give it a good shake.
Poke it till it puffs up and sulks.
Keep it cornered on your screen, at your command.
The more you can't stand them, the sillier it turns out.
