A desktop pet that grows as you code with Claude Code
Tamamon is a macOS desktop pet that lives on top of your screen and grows the more you build with Claude Code. What it does: - 20 species to collect through a weekly gacha, each with its own evolved forms and quirks - Feed it, play (ball, bubbles), and decorate its habitat - Reacts to real time and weather — when it rains or night falls, your pet heads home to rest - Nothing leaves your Mac. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, nothing uploaded.
Hi everyone 👋 I'm the solo maker behind Tamamon.
I live in Claude Code all day, and I wanted something on my screen that grew alongside the work — a small companion instead of another dashboard. So Tamamon starts as an egg, and the more you build with Claude Code, the more it hatches, grows, and evolves.
A few honest notes, because I want to get this right:
- It grows from your local Claude Code coding activity on your Mac (token-based). The little HUD shows today + this week of that activity, plus live CPU and Memory.
- It does NOT show your Claude subscription session or weekly limit %. People sometimes assume that, so I want to be upfront: it reflects your local coding activity, not your account status.
- Everything stays on your Mac. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, nothing uploaded.
Beyond the growth loop: there are 20 species to collect via a weekly gacha (each with evolved forms and quirks), you can feed and play with it (ball, bubbles), decorate its habitat, and it reacts to time and weather — when it rains or night falls, it wanders home to rest.
It's early beta, free, macOS 15+ Apple Silicon (signed + notarized). Download is on GitHub Releases; there's a Ko-fi if you'd like to help me keep drawing pixels.
