What is OpenPets?
OpenPets is a native macOS desktop pet for visible agent progress, review prompts, completion states, and lightweight animations across local coding tools.
It gives Codex Pets a shared home outside one assistant. The menu bar app, MCP server, Swift package, and CLI can all talk to the same local pet, so Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi CLI, generic MCP clients, local apps, and scripts can report work through one visible desktop companion.
What you can do:
- Show task progress, completion, review, waiting, and failure states through a visible desktop companion.
- Let multiple local tools share one pet instead of each app owning a separate status UI.
- Send notifications and animations from an MCP client, a Swift app, or CLI scripts.
- Run the bundled Starcorn pet or install custom Codex Pets using an 8x9 sprite atlas.
- Use action URLs on notifications for lightweight follow-up flows.
