Desktop
Always on the glass
Menu-bar native. Idle, greet, celebrate — a living sprite beside your windows, not a dashboard you have to open.
macOS menu bar · live desktop
Quiet company for people who live in the editor
WhalePet is a presence, not another tab. A living pet on your desktop, soft reactions while you work, and cloud chat only when you choose to sign in.
Why it feels different
Designed to stay out of the way — until you want it
Built for long coding days: local first, cloud optional, pets that look like yours.
Cloud
Sign in only for depth
Install freely. Cloud conversation and AI pet generation unlock after login — fair daily quotas, no local keys required.
Creation
Pets from a single photo
Upload a reference still. WhalePet restyles and animates a creature that feels personal — with resume if a motion set fails.
Install
One DMG. Drag in. Open from the menu bar.
Updates appear in-app. Critical releases can require an upgrade before cloud features continue. Installers are versioned in our release store; this site always points at the current stable build.
