My Mysterious Creature

 A mysterious little creature that lives on your desktop and quietly keeps you company. It isn't really a tool, though it does have a few handy tricks. Most of all, it's here to make you smile on the hard days.

Its little toolbox

Double-click it any time and a small toolbox opens up. No setup, no account:

- A focus timer it cheers you through, and celebrates when you finish

- One-click screenshots, or a multi-photo mode, saved straight to your desktop

- Quick sticky notes for a stray thought

- Gentle eye-care reminders, so you look up from the screen now and then

- A Do Not Disturb switch for when you just want quiet                                                                                                       

   Company first, handy desktop buddy second.

A little life of its own

It wanders, potters, and plays. Chases a ball, doodles, stretches, naps, and stargazes at night. It explores across your monitors on its little adventures.

Speaks no words, only feeling

It comes from somewhere else and doesn't use language. Everything it thinks or feels comes out as little wordless symbols.

Make it yours

Choose its color, dress it in dozens of accessories, take its portrait. No shop, no loot boxes, no pay-to-unlock, ever. Everything is earned with time and care.

Music and little moments

A small dance party. Karaoke where you bring your own lyrics and sing while it mouths along. And on holidays, friendly visitors drop by with seasonal surprises.

Give it a voice, if you'd like (optional)

Connect a free AI that runs right on your own computer (like Ollama or LM Studio) and it can talk with you, and help with little things when you ask, like checking the weather or tidying up text you've copied. Anything that touches your clipboard or screen is opt-in only, with a clear notice every time. No accounts, no subscriptions, nothing to sign up for and the creature is perfectly happy without it.

Private by design

The creature runs entirely on your own computer. It pays attention only to broad signals, like the kind of app you're in and the time of day, never your files, your messages, or what you type.

Creature-to-creature visits (experimental)

A friend on the same network can visit, swap an outfit, or trade a paper-airplane note. Local network only for now.
