Pixel cat mood: knead
Loading…The desktop pet built for programmers — follows your cursor, kneads while you type, and celebrates when your agent finishes a run.
Upload one photo — your cat, your dog, or you — and get a pixel companion in the same 17 moods, living right next to the mascot above.
Every motion is a tiny reaction to what you're doing — typing, dragging, focusing, or waiting on your agent. Here's the full repertoire.
This companion is drawn live on a <canvas> — no video, no GIF. Pick cat or dog, trigger a motion, or just glide your mouse over it.
Move your mouse over the companion — it watches you.
The same coats ship in the desktop app — plus your own in the editor.
Siamese, Orange, or Mackerel cat — Shiba or Husky dog. Pick your companion, then tune its size and opacity.
Pupils track your cursor across the whole screen.
Trots after your pointer wherever it goes.
Grab the companion and fling it — it stretches like mochi, lands, and shakes it off.
Hover to pet. It closes its eyes, purrs, and floats little hearts.
Makes biscuits in rhythm with your typing.
Step away and it wanders the screen, looking for you until you're back.
Pick a corner and it walks itself over — on its own four paws, no teleporting.
Docks at a screen edge and peeks out while you work.
Leaps and celebrates the second your coding agent finishes a run.
When an agent is stuck waiting on you, the companion fetches you — runs never stall silently.
Runs focus/break cycles and naps through your breaks.
Long sessions trigger a big, slow stretch — your cue to move.
Surfaces a gentle nudge for the things you set.
Lives in the macOS menu bar / Windows tray — every setting one click away.
Keeps itself fresh on its own — Sparkle on macOS, the Tauri updater on Windows.
One key, every machine you own — verified on-device with Ed25519, no network needed.
Pawpilot listens to your coding agents over local hooks and reacts in real time — celebrating the instant a run lands, and fetching you the moment an agent needs your input.
Cheers the moment a run finishes — the flagship integration.
FlagshipWatches OpenAI Codex CLI sessions and reacts to completions.
Knows when Cursor's agent is mid-thought vs. done.
Tracks Antigravity agent tasks and celebrates wins.
Hooks into Kiro's agent loop for the same live reactions.
Beyond cute, Pawpilot quietly keeps you in rhythm — focus cycles, stretch breaks, and gentle reminders, all expressed through the companion itself.
Focus and break timers run as part of the companion's behavior. It naps on breaks, wakes when it's time to work.
Local hooks read your coding agent's status — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Antigravity, and Kiro. Pawpilot celebrates the moment a run finishes and fetches you when an agent needs your input.
Stretch-break and message reminders nudge you to move and remember the little things — expressed through the pet, never a notification banner.
Peek Mode tucks the companion at a screen edge, and position presets send it walking to whichever corner you choose.
