About the Game

Your Desktop Will Never Be Lonely Again.

CMChar is more than just a virtual pet; it's a platform to bring your favorite characters to life right on your screen. Forget static windows your mascots walk, idle, and watch over you while you work, play, or browse.

Living Personalities (Powered by Local AI)

Powered by Local AI (Ollama), your mascots don't just repeat canned lines. Everything runs 100% locally on your machine, ensuring maximum privacy and no internet dependency for chats.

Real Conversations: Chat about any topic and get contextual responses based on the character's persona. Customizable Soul: You define your mascot's personality in the settings. Want a helpful assistant or a sarcastic companion? It's up to you. Cross-Mascot Chat: Have multiple mascots on screen? Watch them interact and talk to each other automatically, each with their own unique personality!

RPG Elements & Progression

Having a companion is fun; watching them evolve is rewarding.

XP System: Gain experience passively through companionship time or by chatting. Dynamic Affinity: Treat them well to increase their affection (Hearts) and unlock their potential. Level Up: Watch your mascot grow from Level 1 as you spend time together on your desktop.

Gamified Productivity

Stay focused without losing the fun.

Pomodoro Timer: Start focus sessions directly with the mascot. System Monitoring: Ask your mascot about your PC status (CPU, Memory usage) in natural language to see if your rig is ready for gaming. Smart Reminders: Set reminders for hydration, meetings, or tasks directly through chat. Voice & Text Commands: Ask your mascot to open software, close apps, or start timers just by asking naturally.

Fully Customizable

Mascot Library: Manage your collection visually with stats like Level, XP, and Affinity. Easy Import: Add your own images/GIFs and create new mascots in seconds. Smart Overlay: Designed to stay "on top" of everything but automatically dodges your mouse so it never gets in your way.

CMChar Your Virtual Companion is powered by AlanBotics and is Built with Llama. Optional downloadable AI engines strictly follow Google Gemma terms, Apache 2.0, and MIT open-source licenses.
