What it does

Meet Maew, our Codogotchi mascot, a floating pet in your Mac menubar who actually pays attention. She celebrates when you ship code, gets nervous when tests fail, and hypes you up when you're in the zone. Levels up and stays healthy when you code. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity and VSCode.

Codogotchi is a free macOS menubar pet for AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Antigravity. Your pet animates in real time as your agent codes, thinks, tests, and idles. A developer Tamagotchi for your workflow.

Codogotchi lives in your menubar and animates in real time to what your agent is doing — coding, thinking, testing, erroring, waiting. A cute little buddy inside your workflow. Start with Maew, hatch something new, adopt a buddy, or draw your own. The charming default pet who ships with the app. A cute-flirty buddy in a white sundress, animated across all 19 agent states out of the box. Describe a pet or drop a seed image and your agent generates a full animated spritesheet for you — one row at a time — via the hatch-codogotchi skill. Browse pets hatched and hand-drawn by other developers, then drop the folder into ~/.codogotchi/pets/ and switch to it in Settings → Pet. Hand-draw a…from codogotchi.app

  • Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  • Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
