FROM DOWNLOAD TO DESKTOP

A home in your favorite tools.

Codex is the only native pet host. Agent Pets, Petdex, and Clawd on Desk are separate desktop renderers; Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Copilot CLI, and Cursor connect through local hooks or plugins.

Generated orders use the compatible v1 8×9 atlas. Catalog v2 entries use the marked 8×11 atlas and expose Petdex and Clawd packages; Codex Desktop/CLI, Agent Pets, and coding-tool bridges remain v1-only. Install the destination application separately. Claude Desktop chat is a separate product; the listed Claude integration is Claude Code only.

CodexNative pet
  1. Download and extract the ZIP into a folder named after your pet.
  2. Place that folder inside ~/.codex/pets/ (or $CODEX_HOME/pets/ if configured). Keep pet.json and the included spritesheet.png or spritesheet.webp directly inside the pet folder, not another nested folder.
  3. Desktop: open Settings → Pets, select Refresh, choose your pet, and enter /pet. Codex CLI: enter /pets. Terminal pets require iTerm2 3.6+, Kitty graphics, or Sixel support, and do not work inside tmux or Zellij.
