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.
@besslframework This is super cute. Dolloproof just hatched. I get a feeling this is going to be fun
One question, does it track session limits or can it suggest optimal coding period, eg clubbing two sessions?
Also, one pain point on claude code is to remember putting a querry to start a session so i optimize the day better, can it do that for me?

@roopesh_donde Congrats on Dolloproof hatching 🥚 Honest answer: it's deliberately not a scheduler or a dashboard — it won't track your session limits, suggest clubbing sessions, or kick off queries for you. It just grows quietly from your local activity and stays out of the way. Those planning features are a different tool than the one I wanted this to be, but I hear the pain point. Glad you're having fun!
As a solo founder basically living in Claude Code all day, the local-only "nothing leaves your Mac" part is what sells me over another usage dashboard — a little companion growing alongside the grind beats staring at more numbers lol. Does it react differently to one long deep-work session vs a day of scattered short bursts?
Tamamon
@lennoxbeflying That's the sell for me too — a companion beside the grind instead of one more dashboard. Honest answer: right now it reads total activity, so a long deep-work block and a day of scattered bursts land about the same. Making it feel the shape of the session (deep focus vs fragmented) is on my mind — it's close to the "earned growth" thread a few people raised. Appreciate it!
how does the growth tracking actually work? like does it read your claude code usage locally or do you have to give it some kind of permission to look at what you're building
Tamamon
@yakuplkrm It reads your local Claude Code activity on this Mac — no account, no upload, nothing leaves the device. The only thing it looks at is token/usage activity, to know roughly how much you've been coding; it never reads what you're building (your code, prompts, or output). That local-only line is the part I'm least willing to compromise on.
finally gave it a spin this morning and the weather reactivity is honestly charming, my little guy wandered off the screen right when it started raining. love that nothing leaves the mac

@zaferkdgq Ha, the rain exit gets everyone — it heads off-screen to go home when the weather actually turns where you are. Glad you gave it a spin, and that the nothing-leaves-the-Mac part clicked. Thanks Zafer!
The little guy reacting to actual weather is such a nice touch, especially seeing him head home when it starts raining outside my window. Wish more desktop apps felt this cozy without asking for an account.

@glcandinca4qy9 "Cozy without asking for an account" is exactly the bar I set for it — no signup, nothing leaves the Mac. And the walk home in the rain is my favorite detail too. Thanks Gülcan!
I think collecting twenty pieces sounds fun and rewarding. Can I choose one favorite pet that always stays active? a favorite option would help users build a stronger connection while still collecting every species.
Tamamon
@alheri_murya Good news — you can already do that! Double-click a pet to make it your active companion (its "leader"), and it stays out front while you keep collecting the rest of the species. A favorite you bond with + the full set to chase was exactly the intent. Thanks Alheri!

@luki_notlowkey Thanks Luki! Making coding a little more playful is the whole goal. And yes — evolving from different behaviors (debugging, shipping, testing, OSS contributions) is right at the top of my list. Today it grows from overall activity, but behavior-aware growth is the direction I'm most excited to explore next.
