Desk Paws

Collect over 100 stylish little pets on your desktop! They can freely move along the bottom of your screen, or live in the little houses you've carefully decorated for them. Hmm... or perhaps send them on adventures to earn treats?

and super many adorable electronic pets!

They will quietly accompany you while you work and study.

  • Get them through the specially made claw machines!

  • Or collect rooms of various styles, freely combine your cottage! Let the little pets move in!

  • Oh, maybe you want to try breeding them, expanding the collection to 400?

  • Also, collect outfits and headdresses for the apartment manager Fumi!

  • Let the pets live in the cottage to collect rent, then spend it all at once at the claw machine~

  • Dispatch your favorite little pets to venture out, harvesting building materials, snacks, or other goodies!

  • Customizable level of [Do Not Disturb] button shortcuts, want to hide everything with one click when working seriously? Completely ok!

  • Customizable position and size of houses, pets, UI, don't want them fixed to a certain spot on the desktop? Completely ok!

  • Want to click on something? Try the small props that can be freely dragged and tossed on the desktop~you can even stack them up!
