Tamamon

Tamamon is the desktop pet you didn't know you needed—until your code session starts feeling lonely. Built for developers who use Claude Code, this little spirit hatches on your Mac and grows alongside your coding sessions. Egg to baby to adult to evolved, one prompt at a time. It reads your Claude usage—never your actual code, never sends anything back to any server—and uses that to determine how fast your tiny companion levels up. Neglect it and it sulks. Code more and it beams. Simple, weird, and honestly kind of brilliant.

Here's what makes it actually useful beyond being cute: when Claude Code is waiting on your input, your pet gives a little wave. It's a subtle nudge that pulls you back into flow before you lose momentum. It also reacts to real weather and time—rain sends it indoors, nightfall brings sleepy stars. You can feed it snacks, play fetch with balls and bubbles, decorate its nest, and collect different species from lizards to baby dragons. Each has its own evolved form and quirks. It's Tamagotchi energy meets developer workflow, and it's sitting quietly along the bottom of your screen, always on top of your other windows.

No accounts. No API keys. No dashboards. No tracking. It reads your Claude login usage data locally, nothing leaves your machine, and v0.5.4 runs on macOS 15+ with Apple Silicon. It's small, it's cozy, and it makes staring at code feel slightly less like solitary confinement. Perfect for developers who want a little warmth on their desktop without the overhead.
