Everything since launch β thank you for making it #3 ππΎ
A few days ago Tamamon launched here and you made it #3 Product of the Day. Thank you β genuinely. It's a tiny pixel pet that lives on your desktop and grows as you code with Claude Code, and since launch it's had ~30 updates β almost every one straight from a comment in this thread. Here's what's new, and who it came from.
π‘ Your pet moved into a home β and the home builds itself as you code
At launch it just wandered your desktop. Now, as you code, an empty patch of grass fills in one warm thing at a time: a flower, a stone by the path, a cottage when your egg hatches, a pond, lanterns, a hearth glowing at the center. Nothing is random β every object is earned by real growth and placed by hand, and once it's there it stays. There's a cozy isometric room to step into, day/night and seasons (a snowman visits in winter), and you can drag anything to rearrange it.
β¨ Meet the Warmthfolk β now 50 to collect
So many of you asked "what ARE these creatures?" They're the Warmthfolk: a little spirit that borrows the nearest cozy shape to be near you β a mug, a cloud, a sleepy pup, a deep-sea narwhal. One soul, many cozy coats. There were 20 at launch; there are 50 now, each with its own field-guide line in four languages, fully animated across every stage. Export/import your whole collection between machines anytime (thanks Leopold & Prashant π).
π± Growth you can see β and now, growth that's earned
The feedback I've thought about most: several of you (Florent, David, Art, Ziang, Luki) said growth should feel earned, not just raw token count. So β there's a growth bar now; the first hatch adapts to your own pace so lighter users don't wait weeks (thanks John); and as of today, your pet notices the hard days β after a genuinely tough session (maxed-out context, a long stretch of real work, a big pile of code changed) it gives you a quiet, warm nod: "that was a rough oneβ¦ you pushed right through πΏ". It reads effort, not idle time, never nags, and reads only signals already on your Mac.
π Real usage that just works β in your language, and finally reliable
Tamamon shows your actual Claude usage (current + weekly) from your own Claude Code login β only the numbers, never your code or conversations, and nothing leaves your Mac. It's fully localized (EN / ζ₯ζ¬θͺ / EspaΓ±ol), and the "Can't load usage" some of you hit is fixed properly: an opt-in relay that reads the numbers Claude Code already computes, no network, no keychain, your settings touched only with consent and restored byte-for-byte on disconnect.
π You asked, we listened
Adaptive hatch (John), earned-growth nudges (Florent, David, Art, Ziang, Luki), export/import (Leopold, Prashant), clearer growth + messaging (Nuriye, Εerafettin, Brandon, Yakup), easier quit + a cleaner goodbye (Mohammad Faisal). And the things you told me to protect β the rain that sends your pet home, local-only with no account, the fact that it's happily useless β those aren't going anywhere.
Still on my list: a one-click "share my Tamamon" card, the deeper earned-growth design, and a few more Warmthfolk. If there's something you wish it did, this thread is still the best place to say so. πΎ

Nice work! I can only hope to achieve similar traction... I'll be checking back frequently to see any updates.
Tamamon
@qubizΒ Thank you Phillip! π Honestly a lot of it was just showing up in this thread every day and building what people asked for. Wishing you the same β I'll be rooting for your launch too.
this is really cool
Tamamon
@pieternatanaelΒ Thank you, Pieter! πΎ
I honestly didn't expect to see this many thoughtful updates so soon after launch. Ot really feels like you've been listening instead of just shipping. That's probably why the product already feels so much more polished than day one.
Tamamon
@grover__reevesΒ That's the nicest thing you could say, thank you π Almost every update in that list started as a comment right here β so it genuinely is you all shaping it. Still plenty on the list.
Reading this feels less like a changelog and more like watching a product grow with its users. Those kinds of updates always make me want to keep following the journey.
Tamamon
@jos__bishΒ You just described exactly what I was hoping it would feel like π₯Ή Thank you β that's the journey I want to keep sharing.
I love seeing founders come back after launch with improvements instead of disappearing until the next release. Continuous updates always give me more confidence than one huge feature drop.
Tamamon
@david__joshuaΒ Appreciate that, David π Not going anywhere β the plan is small, steady updates every week rather than one big drop-and-vanish. Thanks for the confidence.
@besslframework The little touches like the home growing over time and the pet reacting to tough coding sessions are what I remember most. Those details give the products a personality that's hard to copy.
Tamamon
@smoteria__Β This means a lot, thank you π₯Ή Those exact two details are the heart of it for me β and funnily enough the pet reacting to tough sessions just got deeper: it now gives you a warm nod after a genuinely hard stretch. Personality is the whole point.
Great to see all the updates coming through and how responsive you have been around the launch, kudos.
Tamamon
@jhooleyΒ Thank you John! πΎ This thread makes it easy to stay responsive β you all keep giving me the good stuff to build.
