OpenPets is an open-source, local-first desktop companion platform that puts animated pets on your desktop, built as an Electron app with a Control Center for managing pets and plugins. It includes a sandboxed Plugin SDK v3 and optional integrations that let coding agents like Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, and MCP clients drive pet reactions locally.
Use cases
- add an animated desktop pet to my workspace
- connect my coding agent to a desktop companion that reacts to its activity
- build custom plugins for a desktop pet with a sandboxed SDK
- use a focus timer and reminder buddy on my desktop
- create a custom mascot for my stream community that fans can install
- keep a virtual pet with stats and mood check-ins on my computer
When to choose
- you want a fun, local-first desktop companion that works fully offline without any AI setup
- you use Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, or MCP-capable agents and want visual feedback from coding sessions
- you want to extend a desktop pet's behavior with a permissioned, sandboxed plugin SDK
- you are a creator or streamer wanting a custom mascot your audience can install in one command
When to avoid
- you need a serious productivity or automation tool rather than a playful companion
- you want cloud-synced or multi-user pet features rather than a single local desktop app
- you need a headless or server-side agent framework without a GUI
- you cannot run Electron desktop apps on your platform
