Nomlings v0.1.1

Meet the Nomlings

Nomlings is a desktop app for raising a nomling: a tiny pixel creature that
lives on your screen and grows as you work. Yours hatches from an egg, evolves
through Baby, Teen, and Adult forms, and reacts to what you do all day.

If you use Claude Code, your nomling feeds on your sessions: finished tasks
hatch and level it up, tool calls earn XP, and token usage keeps it fed. Prefer
just a desktop pet? Poke it, feed it, and watch it grow.

Highlights

• A creature that grows with you: Egg to Adult across four forms, with a
  live XP bar and level readout.
• Make it yours: the cosmetic pack unlocks alternate bodies, device
  shells, and free screen/pet coloring. Purely visual; XP and snacks carry
  over.
• Stays out of the way: always-on-top, click-through, and float options;
  drag it anywhere. Right-click opens settings.
• Adjustable UI: size your nomling and scale the settings menu to taste.
• You're in control of updates: the app only ever checks for new
  versions and links you to the release notes. Nothing downloads on its own.

Getting started

1. Install and launch. Your egg appears.
2. Poke it or start coding to make it hatch.
3. That's it. The installer wires up Claude Code for you, so keep running
   claude as usual and your nomling feeds on every session. (On the portable
   zip, run nomling setup once to do the same.) Full guide in the
   owner's manual.

This is the first public release. Feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

Changelog (v0.1.1)

• Nomlings now forage: one snack on their own every 30 minutes (max 5),
  even while the app is closed. So pets without Claude Code never go
  unfeedable.
