Idle
Rests quietly in the corner, blinking and yawning now and then.
The desktop app🐾 Your pet — not somebody else's
One photo, and your actual pet lives on your desktop
Nibbo's AI captures your cat or dog's real fur, markings and expressions to create a companion that's unmistakably yours. It hangs out in the corner of your screen — and steps out to remind you to drink water, stretch and rest your eyes.

Why Nibbo
Beyond “you can upload a photo too”
Other desktop pets wear someone else's face. Nibbo does two things — and does them better.
Difference 1
More lifelike
Results stay faithful to the real animal — fur color, markings, posture and expression, not the obvious AI-cartoon look. We tune for “does it look like the real one,” not “does it look pretty.”
- ✓Keeps real fur & markings
- ✓Captures posture & expression
- ✓Multiple angles boost fidelity
Difference 2
Style your way
One pet, many skins: from high-fidelity realism to pixel, watercolor, clay and cartoon. Feel like a change? Switch in one tap on the desktop.
- ✓Realistic + 4 art styles
- ✓One pet, multiple skins
- ✓Switch anytime on desktop
Any pet, really
Cat or dog — unmistakably yours
Long-haired or short, solid or tabby, puppy or senior — Nibbo captures what makes them them. Upload yours and watch it land on your desktop.
The desktop app
Featherweight, yet full of life
Transparent, borderless, always on top — and nearly zero footprint at idle. A resident app that lags or drains battery gets deleted the same day, so “light” is non-negotiable.
Wander
Strolls along the bottom of your screen, changing spots.
The desktop appClimb edges
Scales the edges of your windows, peeking around.
The desktop appDrag me
Pick it up with your mouse and drop it anywhere — it reacts.
The desktop appFeed & play
Click to feed it and earn a happy little face.
The desktop appSwap skins
Switch between your unlocked style skins in one tap.
The desktop appDrink water
Easy to forget when you're heads-down — it raises a cup to remind you.
More than companyStand & move
Been sitting a while? It stretches and takes a stroll with you.
More than companyRest your eyes
Staring too long — it nudges you to look into the distance.
More than companyCustom reminders
Write your own message, set the interval, remind yourself of anything.
More than companyMore than company
It steps out to remind you
Company gets it installed; usefulness keeps it. Set recurring reminders and it walks from the corner to center screen, does a little animation, says a line — then heads back.
Reminds you, never nags you
A reminder is an interruption — done badly, it's harassment. So “never intrusive” is a hard line:
- Never steals focus — won't interrupt your typing or work
- Fullscreen / presenting / gaming / DND: it queues instead of popping up
- One gentle catch-up after you exit fullscreen — not a pile-up barrage
- Duration, opacity and sound are conservative — and can be turned off

We tune for “instantly recognizable as your pet,” preserving fur, markings, posture and expression. Uploading multiple angles (front + side + full body) usually gives the best result.
One photo works, but several from multiple angles noticeably improve fidelity. Clear, well-lit, full-body shots are ideal.
jpg, png and heic. The site runs basic checks: minimum resolution, a recognizable pet subject, and so on.
This release launches on macOS (Apple Silicon first), with separate arm64 and Intel builds. A Windows version is planned for a later phase.
No. The app is featherweight with near-zero CPU at idle, and it auto-hides for fullscreen, games and presentations.
Not at all. The build is signed and notarized — download, drag to Applications, double-click. No Gatekeeper roadblocks.
It never steals focus. It just walks to center screen for a beat and says a line — it won't interrupt your typing or work, and it queues during fullscreen and Do Not Disturb.
Yes. Built-in templates cover water, breaks, eye rest and standing up, plus you can create your own “message + interval” reminders.
No. Reminders are fully local — configuration and scheduling live on your device and persist across restarts.
Sign in to the desktop app with the same account, and the pets you own sync automatically.
Payment happens in your browser through Waffo Pancake, our PCI-DSS-compliant processor — we never touch or store your card details.
