What is CozyPet?
CozyPet is a tiny pixel art pet for macOS. It walks around your screen, sleeps, switches scenes and keeps you company while you work or study. Simple, cozy, no chat, no distractions.
Problem
Users want a digital companion on their desktop but existing solutions are too interactive or distracting requiring attention and time which can disrupt workflow or study sessions.

Unique Features
Non-intrusive design, pixel art aesthetic, no mandatory interactions, and dynamic scene changes (e.g., day/night cycles) mimicking a real pet’s behavior.
