v1.0.1
47a0f4f

Maintenance release. Same features as v1.0.0, rebuilt from the current master with the public name applied consistently throughout the UI, docs and packaging.

Changes since v1.0.0

  • Public product name is now Tiny Code Pet everywhere the user sees it: window title, tray tooltip, tray menu and the idle label.
  • Repository moved to nikotaronosuke/tiny-code-pet; clone, badge and release links updated.
  • Preview images regenerated from the shipping renderer so they show the current name.
  • Documentation fixes: the always-on-top note no longer blames a specific OS action, the Codex subagent note describes cancelling the completion candidate instead of the retired activity indicator, and current-spec wording uses "quiet window" rather than "grace".
  • Issue template no longer offers blank issues, matching its stated policy.

No behaviour changes: completion (root Stop + 20s quiet), whole-request progress, multi-session handling, tray semantics and the TOPMOST recovery are identical to v1.0.0.

Install

  1. Download Tiny-Code-Pet-v1.0.1-windows.zip below and extract it.
  2. Register the hooks you want:
pwsh -File install-hook.ps1         # Claude Code
pwsh -File install-codex-hook.ps1   # Codex (try -DryRun first)
.\bin\ClaudePet.exe                 # start the pet

Notes

  • The ClaudePet.exe / ClaudePetNotify.exe / CodexPetNotify.exe filenames are kept for compatibility with existing hook configurations.
  • The binaries are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run. Build from source with build.ps1 if you would rather not accept that.
  • Windows only. Requires the .NET Framework 4.8 runtime that ships with Windows 10/11.

v1.0.0

A tiny native Windows desktop pet that shows what Claude Code and Codex are doing — from the corner of your screen, without getting in the way.

Highlights

  • Claude Code + Codex — one pet tracks both. Use either alone or both at once; sessions and turns stay isolated per provider.
  • Whole-request progress — the percentage estimates how far the whole request has come, taken from the structured plan/todo list, not from whatever single task is running. No percentage is shown for a one-step plan.
  • Completion = root Stop + 20s quiet — the pet says 終わったよ！ only after a root Stop with no follow-up work for 20 seconds. The task tracker is never used as proof of completion, so a stale or missing todo list cannot produce a false "done".
  • Multi-session — several sessions are tracked at once; active work always outranks a finished notification, and a completion is dropped rather than queued if other work is still running.
  • Provider / model / +N — the pet shows who is working (Claude · Opus 4.6, Codex · GPT-5.6-codex) and how many other sessions are active.
  • Tray controls — a 🐥 icon in the notification area: show, hide, bring to front, exit. Hiding is visual only — tracking continues, and the completion sound is muted while hidden.
  • Event-driven TOPMOST recovery — the window was observed losing its always-on-top position with no way back; it now re-asserts it when the display changes or on demand, without stealing focus.
  • Native Win32, lightweight — C# + P/Invoke only. No Electron, WebView, Node, local server or database. Idle CPU is essentially 0 and it blocks in GetMessage.
  • Privacy — prompts, responses, task text and source code are never read. Only hook status metadata (event name, session/turn id, project directory name, model id, status counts) is used.

Install

  1. Download Tiny-Code-Pet-v1.0.0-windows.zip below and extract it.
  2. Register the hooks you want:
pwsh -File install-hook.ps1         # Claude Code
pwsh -File install-codex-hook.ps1   # Codex (try -DryRun first)
.\bin\ClaudePet.exe                 # start the pet

Both install scripts append only and back up your settings first.

Notes

  • The public product name is Tiny Code Pet. The ClaudePet.exe / ClaudePetNotify.exe / CodexPetNotify.exe filenames are kept for compatibility with existing hook configurations.
  • The binaries are unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may warn on first run. Build from source with build.ps1 if you would rather not accept that.
  • Windows only. Requires the .NET Framework 4.8 runtime that ships with Windows 10/11.
