DeskBub

Bring your own pet to your desktop with DeskBub. Turn a photo of your dog, cat, or another beloved pet into an animated companion that keeps you company while you work, study, or browse.

Upload your pet’s photo on the DeskBub website, create their animations, then enter a pairing code in the desktop app. Move your pet around your screen and adjust their size and opacity.

Custom pet creation starts at $2.99 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription. Want to try DeskBub first? Kaka, the included desktop dog, is free to use with five animations and no account required.
