Boltori: A thrifty little chipmunk who lives on your PC

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

Boltori started out as my daughter's sketch of a chipmunk. It is our fifth friend, after Ottori the otter, Mangbori the meerkat, Pongdari the baby hippo and Mikkuri the penguin. The final art was made with the help of AI, in the same hand-drawn style as the other four.

Chipmunks stuff their big cheek pouches full of food and carry it back to their burrows. Boltori is a thrifty little hoarder who tucks everything into its cheek pouches and stores it away, neat and tidy. Whenever you download a file, Boltori stuffs its cheeks too and scurries off to its burrow.

I'm not a developer. I built this program step by step with an AI coding assistant.

What Boltori does:

• Click it and it hops with both arms up, click the cream-colored belly and it flops onto its back giggling, move your mouse back and forth over it to pet it

• Drag it and it dangles; let go quickly and... thud!

• Double-click and its cheeks fill up with acorns (Full edition)

• Its eyes follow your mouse while it sits idle

• Clicks anywhere except on Boltori go straight through, and it hides when you go full screen

Boltori's promise: it never reads what you type, what's on your screen, or your window titles, and never sends anything over the internet.

Basic ($3.99) has 18 reactions, Full ($6.99) has all 52. Windows 10/11, English and Japanese.

I'd love to hear what you think, and what reaction you'd want Boltori to have next!
