Petne
Your real pet, alive and interactive on your desktop
Most desktop pets are generic characters. Petne starts with your own cat or dog: upload a photo, preview it for free, and recreate the face, markings, fur pattern, and expression that make them unmistakably yours. Then your pet lives on your desktop—stretching, blinking, roaming, reacting to clicks, chiming the hour, and gently reminding you to take breaks. One payment, yours to keep.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m excited to launch Petne today.
Most virtual desktop pets are cute, but they are usually generic characters. We wanted to build something more personal: a way to bring your own cat or dog onto your desktop.
With Petne, you upload a photo, see a free preview, and we recreate the details that make your pet recognizable — their face, markings, fur pattern, and expression. Once ready, they don’t just sit there. They stretch, blink, nap, roam around, react when you click them, chime the hour, and gently remind you to take a break.
A few things that matter to us:
It should look like your pet, not a random cartoon animal
You should see a preview before paying
It should feel alive, but never get in the way
No subscription — one payment, yours to keep
We’d love your feedback, especially on the likeness, motion, and interaction details. If you have a pet, try creating a free preview and tell us: does it feel like them?
uploaded a photo of my tabby and the markings actually came through, even the little white patch on her chest. the blink animation is weirdly comforting during long work sessions.
