🦞 Claw Desktop Pet — Give OpenClaw a Body

A desktop AI companion that gives your OpenClaw agent a physical presence on your desktop.

What is it?

A 67px fluid glass ball that lives on your desktop — it breathes, blinks, speaks, and reacts. Messages appear like floating desktop lyrics with white glow text. Your agent isn't invisible anymore.

Features

• 🫧 Fluid Glass Ball — 67px sphere with 7 mood color systems

• 👀 15+ Eye Expressions — blink, curious, sleepy, surprised, follow mouse

• 🎵 Desktop Lyrics — typewriter text, white glow, mouse pass-through

• 🎤 Voice Cloning — MiniMax Speech with 7 emotions, auto detection

• 🎨 Dual Window Architecture — sprite + lyrics, fully transparent

• ⚫ Offline/Online Animation — gray sleep → colorful revival with particles

• 💬 Feishu/Lark Sync — bidirectional message sync

• 🛡️ Enterprise Stability — auto-restart, error handling, performance monitoring

Voice Setup (Optional)

MiniMax Speech (Recommended — voice cloning + emotions)

Set your MiniMax API key in pet-config.json:

Fallback: Edge TTS (Free, no setup)

Works out of the box — uses Microsoft Edge TTS as fallback.
