PetBox: Ultimate Desktop Pet

Welcome to PetBox!

PetBox is a collection of interactive pixel friends that truly live in your workspace. Unlike traditional desktop pets, PetBox creatures are aware of your environment. They will jump, and perch atop your active windows, keeping you company while you work, study, or play.

Features

Window Interaction

• They will detect your active windows, running along the tops and perching on them while you work.

Draggable & Interactive

• Just click and drag your pet to any spot on the screen.

Ultra Lightweight

• Designed to run in the background without you noticing.
• Optimized to consume negligible CPU and memory, making it the most lightweight desktop pet available.

Multiple Monitor Support

• Pets can roam freely across your entire digital workspace, walking between screens.

Fully Resizable

• From a tiny 32px companion to a 256px giant. Use the slider to find the perfect size for you!

Auto-Start & Tray Control

• Includes a "Launch on Startup" option and a System Tray icon to quickly locate or control your pet.
