Tamamon is a macOS desktop pet that lives on top of your screen and grows the more you build with Claude Code. What it does: - 20 species to collect through a weekly gacha, each with its own evolved forms and quirks - Feed it, play (ball, bubbles), and decorate its habitat - Reacts to real time and weather — when it rains or night falls, your pet heads home to rest - Nothing leaves your Mac. No account, no sign-in, no tracking, nothing uploaded.
