<strong>A desktop companion platform with pets, plugins, and optional local agent integrations.</strong>
</p>
<p align="center">
OpenPets puts an animated companion on your desktop, then lets plugins turn it into a focus buddy, reminder system, tiny game, launcher, or coding-agent sidekick.

## Download OpenPets
**[Download the latest OpenPets desktop release](https://github.com/alvinunreal/openpets/releases/latest)** and launch it. A pet appears immediately; no agent setup required.
- **Desktop pets**: animated companions that idle, wander, react, and keep your workspace from feeling empty.
- **Official plugins**: focus timers, reminders, mood check-ins, mini games, launch shortcuts, hydration nudges, and virtual-pet stats.
- **Plugin SDK v3**: a sandboxed JavaScript/TypeScript runtime for building new pet abilities with permissions, quotas, storage, schedules, commands, panels, events, audio, notifications, and more.
- **Optional agent layer**: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Pi, and MCP clients can drive local pet reactions without exposing prompts, code, paths, logs, or secrets in speech bubbles.

## For Users: Getting Started
You do not need to be a developer or connect any AI agents to enjoy OpenPets. The desktop app is fully functional out of the box with the official plugin lineup.
### 1. Install OpenPets Desktop
Download the package for your operating system from [OpenPets Releases](https://github.com/alvinunreal/openpets/releases/latest):

- **Windows**: `OpenPets-*-win-x64-setup.exe`
