Pocket Pets is a cute screen pet app. Shimeji-style pixel pets walk, climb, nap and play on top of any app. Pick a desktop pet or draw your own!

PETS THAT FEEL ALIVE

- Up to 8 pets at once (3 free). They wave and cheer when they meet each other
- Tap a pet to make it happy (or pick what a tap does), drag it to carry it around, long-press for quick actions
- They walk, climb the edge of your screen, fall, bounce, snack and nap with floating Zzz

YOU'RE IN CONTROL
- Choose what a tap or double-tap does: jump, dance, say hello, feed, play or sleep
- Hide your pets for 15 min, 1 h or 3 h, or right from the notification
- Pets nap until you tap them, and react when you plug in the charger or the battery runs low

MAKE YOUR OWN IN PETS STUDIO
- Clone any pet and edit every pixel in the built-in animation editor
- Zoom in, onion-skin the previous frame, undo, fill and erase
- Recolor a whole pet with one long-press on a color
- Add as many as 24 animations per pet, each with its own frames
- Give every animation its own sound, hearts, dust puff or vibration
- Add your own short sound clips

40+ TRIGGERS: YOU CHOOSE WHEN IT PLAYS
Make your pet react to taps, double-taps and long-presses, to shaking your phone, unlocking the screen, plugging in the charger, music playing, headphones, low or full battery, the time of day, the day of the week, a date like Christmas, landscape mode, silent mode, no internet, a dark room, or when nobody has touched it for a while.

SIMPLE CONTROLS
- Pet size and speed sliders
- Turn sounds, effects and vibration on or off
- Start and stop in one tap, from the app or from the notification

PRIVACY
No account is needed. Your pets, drawings and sounds stay on your phone. Pocket Pets never reads the content of other apps.

HOW IT WORKS
Pocket Pets needs the "Display over other apps" permission to draw your pets on top of other apps. Android opens its settings screen so you can allow it. A small notification keeps your pets running, and you can tap Stop in it at any time. You can turn the permission off in Android Settings whenever you like.

QUESTIONS
Why do my pets hide inside the app? They step aside while Pocket Pets is open and come back when you switch to another app.
Will it drain my battery? The animation is light, and you can stop the pets from the notification whenever you want.
Is it free? Yes. The app is free and shows ads inside the app only, never on top of other apps.
