About Cute Desktop Pets on Screen
Cute desktop pets on screen for your phone. This app lets tiny pets walk on your phone screen, right over your apps: a cat on screen, a dog on screen, a goose on screen, a frog, a panda and more. They wander along the bottom, climb the walls, walk upside down along the top, nap and run for treats. Tap to pet them, drag to pick them up, fling to throw them. A shimeji-style pet overlay with original kawaii pets, no sign ups and no account.
PETS ON SCREEN, OVER EVERY APP
• Up to 6 pets on your screen at once, walking over your home screen, chats, browser and games
• Each pet is its own small window the size of the pet, so taps anywhere else go straight to your app
• Pets walk along the bottom above your navigation bar, so they never cover your buttons
• Climb walls & ceiling: they climb the sides, walk upside down along the top, then drop or jump down. Turn it off to keep them on the bottom
• Naps: now and then a pet curls up and sleeps, with little Zzz
• They pause while your screen is off, so they don't run while your phone sleeps
PLAY WITH YOUR SCREEN BUDDIES
• Tap a pet to pet it: it bounces with happy eyes and hearts
• Drag to pick it up; it dangles and swings while you carry it
• Fling to throw it: it bounces off the edges of your screen and lands on its feet. Throw it hard at a wall and it may grab on and climb
• Drop a treat from the app or from the notification, and a pet on the floor runs over to eat it
• Each pet has a favorite treat: fish, a bone, a carrot, seeds, bamboo, honey, a berry, cheese, bread or a bug
15 KAWAII SCREEN PETS, 35 COATS
• Cats: ginger, gray, black and white, plus a calico, a tortie and a tuxedo cat
• Pups: a shiba pup (shiba, sesame, cream) and a floppy-eared pup (choco, golden, latte)
• A bunny, a hamster, a panda in black and white or red, a bear, a fox, an arctic fox and a mouse
• A penguin, a duckling, a goose and a frog
• Name each pet (up to 16 characters) and pick its coat
• Original chibi screen pets drawn in code, with no licensed characters
YOUR WAY
• Size: from a mini pet on screen (48 dp) to a big one (120 dp)
• Speed: Lazy, Normal or Zoomy
• Pixel style: one switch turns them into retro pixel pets, for a pixel cat screen pet or a pixel shimeji desktop pet look
• Try them in the playground inside the app before you let them out
PET ON HOME SCREEN: WIDGET, TILE AND NOTIFICATION
• Pet widget: your pet naps on its cushion on your home screen while the pets are put away, and plays while they're out. Tap the widget to let them out or call them back
• Quick Settings tile: let your pets out or put them away from the shade. On Android 13 and later you can add it from the app's settings
• While they're out, the notification has Drop a treat and Put away
• Bring pets back after a restart, if they were out when your phone turned off. You can turn this off
PRIVATE AND OFFLINE
• No ads, no account, no sign-up
• No internet permission: this shimeji app works offline and nothing leaves your phone
• "Display over other apps" is used only to draw your pets. This app can't see, read or record your screen
