Description
I miss my dog when I am at my desk all day. So now he lives in my menu bar. Drop in a photo and Vibe Eyes turns your own pet into a tiny animated avatar up there. It follows your cursor, blinks at you, winks when you click and looks up when you have been away. Small stuff, but you catch yourself glancing up and smiling. Eleven pets built in, free. Making your own is a $14.99 one-time unlock plus your own AI key. No subscription, no backend, your photo never touches my server.

Could you build this?
Yes A lightweight macOS menu bar utility built in SwiftUI that tracks global mouse cursor position, updates sprite eye rotation mathematics, and makes basic LLM image API calls for character generation.
