New: Petdex Desktop Pet

A companion lives in your chat area and reacts to what the AI is doing.

  • Petdex gallery — browse and search 1400+ animated pets from petdex.crafter.run directly inside Settings → Appearance → Desktop Pet
  • Animated sprites — pets use the Codex spritesheet format with distinct animations for idle, walking, jumping, thinking, and more
  • Wandering — the pet occasionally walks around the chat area on its own; can be disabled to fix it in place
  • AI state linkage — the pet reacts to the agent in real time:
  • Thinking (before first token) → review animation
  • Generating (streaming) → running animation
  • Done → waves, then returns to idle
  • Draggable — drag to any position; saved across sessions; clamped within the chat area
  • Click to interact — pet jumps and shows a random message on click
  • Gallery pagination — 24 pets per page with Prev/Next and live search
