Readerpet
Grimalkin is a small pixel cat who believes you should be reading. Log your books, grow a garden where every plant is a story you finished, and let him keep you company — in the game, or docked at the bottom of your screen while you work. Free, cozy, and quietly judgmental.

Your reading, alive on your screen.
Readerpet is a reading-habit tamagotchi. Finish books, log them, and a Siamese cat named Grimalkin turns them into a garden — one plant per book, with your title and author on a little plaque. Keep your streak and creatures move in. Break it and… well. He forgives. Mostly.
🌱 A garden only you could grow — every plant is a book you actually read. Your shelf, but alive.
🐈 Grimalkin — proprietor, critic, cheese enthusiast. He has opinions about your reading pace and no qualms sharing them.
🦋 Friends arrive — keep reading and creatures come to stay: Toast, Margot the moth (she flies, obviously), Bramble, Ash, and Seedling.
🪟 The Window Box — dock your garden as a little strip at the bottom of your desktop, Grim strolling the path while you work. Pin it, resize it, or let it sink politely behind your windows.
🛒 Grim's shop — décor for your garden and cottage, sold by a cat of questionable business ethics. Books are free. Books are always free.
📱 One garden, everywhere — phone, browser, Steam: the same grove, synced.
🌍 ALL the languages — the whole portal speaks 29, from Français to 日本語 to Українська. Grimalkin reads wherever you do.
Free to play. No ads, no energy bars, no dark patterns — the only thing Readerpet ever asks you to do is read.
