Your pet. On your desktop.

DigxiPal turns a photo of your cat or dog into a little companion for your Mac or Windows computer. It walks, naps and plays beside your work, and responds when you pat it, play or pick it up.

The demo shows pets larger and more active than they are by default. In the app, you can adjust both pet size and companion style.

Wendy and Luna were each created from a real pet photo—the same starting point we use when making a custom desktop pet.

Every pet comes with15+ behaviors and reactions.

Each pet looks around, stretches, walks, eats, plays and naps on its own, then answers you: it leans into a head pat, bursts into zoomies and wriggles when you pick it up.
