A good day of coding.
A great day to be a pet.

Stays on your machine. Logs and pet data never leave it. The only network call is an optional GitHub release check, and you can turn it off.

How it lives

It grows when you build.
It gets hungry when you don’t.

Step away and it gets sleepy, hungry, then weak. It survives a normal weekend: come back Monday and one work session brings it back. Disappear for more than about 3½ days and it dies. Then you hatch a new egg.

How feeding works

You do your thing.
It does its little thing.

  1. 01

    AI session

    You use Claude Code, Codex CLI, Grok CLI or Cursor as usual.

  2. 02

    Tokens

    Your tools already log their usage on your machine (Cursor is estimated from activity).

  3. 03

    Food

    Tokens become food. Output tokens count more than cached ones.

  4. 04

    Mood & evolution

    The mood lifts, it grows stronger, and it evolves into a new form.

No manual input. It reads what your tools already log, and only for the tools you allow.

Evolution

From an egg.
To an absolute legend.

19 levels. 9 forms. One little companion. Every token helps write its next chapter.

Evolution strip: egg, sprout, cub, young, adult, warrior, elder, mage and dragon forms

A few milestones along the way. Hunger changes its mood, not the evolution it has earned.

Privacy

Your work stays yours.

Usage is read on your device. Logs and pet data stay there. The app only checks GitHub for new releases, and you can turn that off.

Reads
Usage your AI tools already log locally (Cursor is estimated from activity), only for tools you enable.
Stays local
Logs and pet data. Nothing about your usage or your pet is sent anywhere. No account.

macOS

Opening it the first time

macOS will warn you once. That’s expected: the app is ad-hoc signed and not notarized.

  1. Try to open Tokengotchi, then choose Done on the warning.
  2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down and click Open Anyway.

macOS 14 Sonoma or earlier

Right-click (or Control-click) the app and choose Open.

Windows

Opening it the first time

It’s a .zip. Extract it and run Tokengotchi.exe.

If SmartScreen warns

The app is unsigned, so SmartScreen may warn: click More info, then Run anyway.
