Inside Calphii · Pixel Pet

A tiny friend who finds its own favourite corners.

Jelly floats past your notes. Froggy hops over to the task board. Neither needs you to keep a virtual animal fed.

A little life between your widgets

Calphii's Pixel Pet doesn't occupy a normal resizable widget. It's a roaming character that moves around the visible parts of your browser Space, stopping near the Media Player, Deep Focus, the task board and other open widgets. When you minimise or hide a widget, your pet doesn't keep treating it as a destination.

Meet Jelly, OG Jelly and OG Froggy

The current choices are Jelly, OG Jelly and OG Froggy. Pick one from the Pixel Pet section of Visuals, or turn the feature off. The default Jelly drifts and sways; Froggy hops around the workspace.

Click or tap your pet and you'll see a little reaction, hearts and a few words. At other moments it might have something small to say about the music or where it's settled. With reduced motion enabled, the autonomous roaming and idle thoughts stop, but you can still pet it. Calphii's Focus Mode takes a softer approach by giving Pixel Pet longer pauses between its normal wanderings.

A little life in your Space: Pixel Pet wanders between the widgets you keep open in Calphii, adding quiet company to a room you've put together yourself.

Curious about the alternatives? Our desktop pets comparison covers Shimeji, Bongo Cat, Desktop Goose and others, including where each pet actually works.

See who wanders over.

Open your Calphii Space, find Pixel Pet in Visuals, and give your new companion a gentle hello.
