About

A standalone macOS and Windows pet app with no chat, coding tools, accounts, or network services.

Petex lives in the menu bar / system tray. Its transparent companion window floats on the desktop. Click your pet to wave, hold for 550 ms to jump, drag to move, and right-click for its menu. Movement beyond 6 pixels starts a drag and cancels the long press. During dragging, v2 pets look in the movement direction using all 16 gaze poses; v1 pets use their left/right movement rows. Position updates run approximately every 16 ms while pressed, and direction filtering prevents flickering when slowing or stopping. Close settings with Done to leave your pet hanging out. Quit from the tray when you're finished.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
