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.
the weather reaction really got me, seeing my little guy head home when it started raining felt weirdly charming and the local-only thing is a nice bonus for something this cozy.

@berkepikman That's my favorite reaction too — the little walk home when the rain starts. Glad the cozy landed, and yeah, keeping it fully local felt right for something you leave in the corner all day. Thanks Berk!
the gacha loop is genuinely charming, and i love that it actually reacts to the weather outside my window. caught it heading to bed when it started raining last night, which was a small but delightful touch.

@duygufblp Love that you caught the bedtime one — it heads home to sleep when it's dark or raining outside your window. Those little real-world reactions are the details I care most about, so this made my day. Thank you, Duygu!

The same should be done for people who code without AI, so they will be motivated to work on their own code more organically :)

@busmark_w_nika Love that — a version that grows from your own commits or activity regardless of AI is a genuinely nice idea. I'll keep it in mind. Thanks for the thought.
Mine will evolve faster than a caterpie on a rare candy diet!

@real_digidavid Rare-candy speedrun energy, I respect it. Just don't overfeed it or it'll sulk — that's an actual mechanic.
A desktop pet that evolves the more I code is a fun little motivator, the weather thing actually made me smile when it wandered off at dusk.
Tamamon
@baharws54 Thank you. The dusk wander is one of my favorite little details too — it heads home and settles in as it gets late. Glad it made you smile.
The real-time weather reactions are such a thoughtful touch — having your pet actually go home when it rains makes the whole thing feel alive instead of just decorative. Love that nothing leaves the Mac.

@cemalfzvr Thank you — "alive instead of decorative" is exactly the line I was aiming for. The going-home-in-the-rain reaction is my favorite, and keeping it all on the Mac is the part I care about most.
The stressful world of builders could use more of this kind of fun.

@akashnawani Completely agree — the build grind runs hot, and a small bit of calm in the corner was the whole idea. Thanks Akash!
