Read the full description
Pawse puts a small anime pet on your desktop. It follows your cursor, taps along as you type, and celebrates the moment Claude Code, Codex or Cursor finishes a task. New since our first launch: 8 anime-style pets (up from 4 pixel-art ones), guided stretch breaks your pet does with you, a Pomodoro timer, custom reminders, and 38 collectible hats from gift boxes you earn by working. Free for macOS and Windows. Runs locally, no telemetry, no ads.
