👋 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! ❤️
honestly Mitra sounds adorable, i love the local-first angle. one thing though, could you add a small visual cue when she's about to nudge you for a break, like a little yawn or stretching animation, so it feels less like an abrupt pop-up and more like she's naturally winding down with you. would make the wellness reminders way more charming
