Open-source VRM desktop companion — transparent always-on-top overlay with VRMA motion and real-time lip sync. This release ships Motion Deck one-shot hotkeys, a validated stage command layer, custom .vrma folders, leaner environment pickers, and production builds that keep trial custom/ media out of the installer.

Download

Drag the glass bar to move; use Gear for Appearance, Voice, Camera, Animations, and Settings. Bind one-shot gestures under Settings → Motion.

Install options

  1. Windows installer (easiest) — no Node.js
  2. From source:
cd avatar
npm install
npm run desktop
  1. Web / contributors: npm run devhttp://localhost:5173

What's new

Motion Deck (#24, #51)

  • Settings → Motion: shortlist clips, bind chords (or click a row), play once, then return to the Gear → Animations selection without touching animationId
  • Authored shortlist (not a catalog-row table); unavailable cards kept across folder switches; Clear unavailable is the only sweep
  • Keys live only while the AVATAR window has focus

Stage command layer (#6, #50, #51)

  • Validated entry point for animation.play / animation.default / avatar.set / environment.set / audio.source
  • animation.play mode: once overlays a single pass; animation.stop ends one early — shared surface for hotkeys, the agent bus, and keyword triggers
  • Fix: re-selecting the avatar already on stage no longer hides the companion

Custom animations & environments (#13, #22, #23, #44, #45, #49)

  • Settings → Directories → Animations accepts a custom .vrma folder (replace semantics)
  • Environment pickers use still posters; custom-folder images load one at a time for the stage
  • Production builds omit local custom/ environment trial media by default

Docs & maintainer tooling (#28, #47)

  • Maintainer release checklist
  • Roadmap regrouped; README badge cleanup (VRM Docs → vrm.dev/en)

Notes

  • Installer is unsigned — SmartScreen may warn (More info → Run anyway)
  • Hub characters stay session-only (not written to disk / config.yaml)
  • Sample VRM/VRMA assets retain upstream licenses (VRoid / pixiv) — see Assets & credits
  • Full notes: CHANGELOG · v0.7.0 docs
