Pets-Driven Gives AI Coding Agents a Desktop Pet
A free Windows app uses desktop pets to show whether Claude Code and Codex CLI agents are working, waiting, finished, or failed.
Field notes
The app associates each pet with a project directory and forwards events from Claude Code or Codex CLI through hooks. Status is communicated through distinct poses and colors for active work, required input, completion, and failure. A companion pdd command-line tool handles hatching, binding, renaming, and inspection, while the site says bundled agent skills can create pets from within an agent session. The project is described as Tauri and React software under the MIT license.
