I miss my dog when I am at my desk all day. So now he lives in my menu bar. Drop in a photo and Vibe Eyes turns your own pet into a tiny animated avatar up there. It follows your cursor, blinks at you, winks when you click and looks up when you have been away. Small stuff, but you catch yourself glancing up and smiling. Eleven pets built in, free. Making your own is a $14.99 one-time unlock plus your own AI key. No subscription, no backend, your photo never touches my server.
Vibe Eyes
Hi Product Hunt,
I work from home and my dog sleeps two rooms away all day. I kept missing him while staring at a screen, so I put him on the screen: in the menu bar, where I look a hundred times a day anyway.
That is the whole app. Drop in a photo of your pet and you get them back as a tiny avatar up there. The eyes follow your cursor, blink on their own, wink when you click, and glance up at you when you have been idle for a while. No window, no dock icon, no permissions to grant.
The hard part was not making a cute head from a photo. It was the blink. A generated head has its eyes wherever the model decided to put them, so the app measures the real eyeballs in the image and bakes a closed-lid frame to match. Slightly off and it goes uncanny: white crescents through the lid, fur changing colour around the eye. Most of the last few months went into that one frame, because a pet that blinks wrong stops looking like your pet.
Free with eleven pets built in. Making your own is a one-time $14.99 unlock plus your own AI key. I do not run a backend, so your photo goes to the provider you connect and nowhere else.
Show me which pet ends up in your menu bar.
@vibe_eyes_developer spending months on one frame of a blink is the correct kind of insane. a pet that blinks wrong is not your pet, it is a stranger wearing your dog.
@vibe_eyes_developer congrats on the launch ! funny enough to give it a try... If you got a macOS computer. Do you have any plan to bring that on Windows ?
