01 / DESKTOPLives in the corner,
Lives in the corner,
not in your way.
Pip floats above the desktop but lets clicks pass through. It hides in full screen and never steals focus.
Small talk,
made locally.
On supported Macs, Apple’s on-device model writes cozy little thoughts. Otherwise, Pip uses hand-written lines.
On-device onlyEasy to tuck away.
Hide the overlay, mute the chimes, or keep Pip to the menu bar. Your Mac, your rhythm.

A slow, happy progression
Watch your tiny friend become legendary.
Every meaningful interaction adds to a pet’s care score. Over one to three relaxed weeks, baby becomes juvenile, adult, then crowned final form.

Progress is forever. No regression, ever.

Good to know
A few tiny questions.
Everything Pip needs, and nothing it doesn’t.
Does Pip keep running while I work?+
Yes. Pip is a lightweight menu-bar app with a click-through corner companion. It stays out of your workflow and hides automatically in full screen.
What happens if I forget to check in?+
Nothing bad. When you step away, Pip pauses meter decay and naps to recover. Pets never die, regress, or punish you for being busy.
Does it need Apple Intelligence?+
No. Supported Macs can use Apple’s on-device model for thought bubbles, but Pip always includes a hand-written fallback.
Can I have more than one pet?+
Yes. Adopt all four species and switch between them whenever you like. Inactive pets wait safely without losing progress.
Which Macs can run Pip?+
Pip requires macOS 26 or later.
