Glimmling: Pixel Desktop Pet

Glimmling is a virtual pixel pet that lives right on your screen: it hops across your Messenger, your browser and all your other apps, builds its own home and develops a personality of its own.

A screen pet and desktop pet for Android that doesn't just sit around waiting for you – it has a little life of its own. It collects treasures, explores the world, and it learns: from you, from its surroundings, and even from its mistakes.

🧬 Every Glimmling is unique

No two Glimmlings are quite alike. Their genes determine their color, size and personality. Some are cheeky, others shy or greedy.

A tiny neural network decides what to do next. It remembers experiences, develops preferences and becomes more independent over time.

🧠 It learns from you
Teach it words and commands like "Sit", "Spin" and "Bang".
It develops its own language and adopts words you teach it.
It learns tricks and gets better with practice.
It remembers its experiences: after getting a tummy ache from purple berries, it might avoid purple mushrooms too.
It adapts its behavior to its surroundings.
🎨 A little creative genius

Your Glimmling can paint, sing and invent things!

It creates its own pictures and composes melodies.
It invents items for its workshop.
It learns what you like.
Hum a tune to it – and it will answer with music of its own.
