Petto

Petto is an AI desktop pet tool that watches your screen activity in real time and reacts to whether you're working or procrastinating. Built for Windows, it sits in your taskbar and screenshots your screen every few minutes, sends the image to Google's Gemini AI, and responds with a face, an expression, and a witty quip — cheering a 3am commit or sighing when you switch to YouTube mid-task. Petto ships with five distinct pets, each with its own personality and judging style, from encouraging to openly sarcastic. It's aimed at procrastinators, remote workers who struggle to focus, and developers who want a bit of accountability (and mockery) baked into their day. The free trial runs 24 hours with all five pets unlocked and 150 reactions, no credit card required. The Pro plan is ₹199/month for unlimited access, 150 reactions daily, priority support, and early access to new pets. Petto is a new, indie-built app — released after being made in seven days by a 19-year-old developer — so it's Windows-only and light on documentation. If you want an AI accountability companion that turns focus into a game with real personality, Petto is a novel take on the desktop pet.

Remote workers, developers, and procrastinators who want a Windows desktop pet that reacts to their screen activity to nudge them toward focus.
