A desktop pet that grows as you code with Claude Code

Tamamon is a macOS desktop pet that lives on top of your screen and grows the more you build with Claude Code. What it does: - 20 species to collect through a weekly gacha, each with its own evolved forms and quirks - Feed it, play (ball, bubbles), and decorate its habitat - Reacts to real time and weather — when it rains or night falls, your pet heads home to rest - Nothing leaves your Mac. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, nothing uploaded.

Love that this grows from my actual Claude Code activity instead of being one more dashboard to check. The fully local, no sign in part is a nice bonus. Does it react in the moment during a long build, or is it more of a daily and weekly thing? congrats on shipping

@i_sanjay_gautam Thanks Sanjay! A bit of both. In the moment, a little heads-up panel shows today’s and this week’s coding activity plus live CPU/memory, and your pet perks up and waves when a Claude Code session is waiting on your input — so during a long build you can glance over and see it’s along for the ride. Over time it hatches, grows, and evolves from your accumulated activity, with a new species to collect each week. All from local activity, nothing leaving the Mac.

The Claude Code hook is clever because it ties the pet's state to something that actually varies across sessions, not just a timer or a step counter. Curious what signals Tamamon is actually reading. Is it token usage, task completions, session length, or something more granular like whether the agent succeeded or had to retry? The difference matters because a pet that grows when you grind through a painful debugging session feels earned, but one that just tracks raw activity is basically a Tamagotchi skinned over a pomodoro timer.
The "grows from local Claude Code token activity, nothing leaves the Mac" framing is what keeps this charming instead of turning into a productivity guilt-meter. Since there's no account or sync, what happens to a collection I've spent weeks on if I switch Macs or reinstall — is there a local backup/export, or does the gacha roster start over? I'd happily leave it running all day if the evolved species carry across machines.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀
This is such a fun idea. I like that Tamamon makes coding feel a little more playful without turning into another productivity dashboard or streak-pressure tool.
The local-only approach is also a big plus. Curious if you plan to support backup/export later so people can keep their pets and evolved species when switching Macs.
