Mitra
An animated cute desktop companion that helps you focus
Cute enough to love. Smart enough to help. Meet Mitra—your tiny desktop companion with personality. She lives on your desktop, reacts to your workflow, reminds you to take healthy breaks, and quietly stays out of the way when you're focused. With smooth physics, zero tracking, and a local-first design, Mitra is lightweight, customizable, privacy-first, and fully open source. ✨ Interactive physics • 💻 Smart reactions • ⏰ Wellness reminders • 🔒 Privacy-first • 🌍 Open source
👋 Hi Product Hunt!
I'm Susmita, and I built Mitra because I wanted a desktop companion that was actually useful—not just decorative.
Most productivity apps interrupt you with notifications. Most desktop pets are cute but don't really help.
Mitra tries to be both.
She quietly lives on your desktop, reacts to what you're doing, reminds you to stretch or drink water, and stays out of the way when you're focused. Everything runs locally, there's no tracking, and the project is completely open source.
Some of my favorite features:
🖱️ Interactive physics engine
💻 Activity-aware animations
⏰ Gentle reminders
🔒 Privacy-first design
🌍 Fully open source
I'd love to hear what features you'd like to see next, and thanks so much for checking out Mitra! ❤️
