quiet by default · lives on your desktop · yours to dress up

a small creature for your desktop.

it remembers what you tell it, grows a personality that's yours alone, helps you study, work and job-hunt — and, unlike everything else, it's built to be needed less over time, not more.

remembers you

keeps what matters — your projects, people, plans — and brings it up only when it helps.

a personality that grows

five traits that drift with how you treat it. no two pips end up the same.

yours to dress up

pick a look — colours, moods, accessories. a different pip for a different you.

private & local

your memories and personality live on your machine. no account to make, nothing watching you.

make it yours

one creature. a thousand of them.

your pip should look like you feel. start with the classic, then dress it up — soft pastels, deep midnight tones, seasonal looks and little accessories. tap a colour to try one on.

try a few on.

each pip keeps its own memory and personality — the look is just the outfit. switch any time, or keep a few and let pip change with your mood.

give a few different people in your life a pip that fits them — a calm one for your mum, a mischievous one for your best friend.

who it's for

whoever you are, whatever you're carrying.

students, makers, professionals, job-seekers, and anyone who just wants a little company at their desk. pip shapes itself to what you need — from your first exam to your tenth year of work.

for studying

a study buddy that sits with you

focus sessions that keep you company while you work, quick check-ins, and a gentle nudge back when you drift. great for exams and deadlines.

for work

remembers what you decided

three weeks later, when someone asks "where did we land on that?" — pip remembers, because it was listening while you thought out loud.

for the job hunt

a corner for your career

keep track of where you applied, rehearse the hard questions out loud, and have something steady in your corner through the waiting.

for making things

think out loud with someone

writers, coders, designers — pip is a quiet sounding board that remembers the thread, so you don't lose the idea you had yesterday.

for company

not alone at the desk

a friendly presence on a quiet day. it won't cling or guilt you — it just keeps you company, and points you back to your people.

for you & a friend soon

share the little world

you and a friend each have a pip — soon you'll be able to pass notes through them and let your creatures talk too. company, together.

the part nobody else has

a personality that drifts with how you treat it.

every other app lets you pick a persona from a menu. pip's is earned, not chosen — it shifts slowly, a little each day, in response to your actual behaviour. try it: be warm, or be harsh, and watch where it leans.

aloofaffectionate
cynicalhopeful
seriousplayful
quietopen
a blank-slate creature. balanced, waiting to see who you are.

slow, like a real bond.

in the real app, traits change by at most a hair each day — so it never lurches overnight into someone new. over a month, the drift becomes unmistakable.

at day 30, pip works out its own personality archetype and hands you a little card. it's the one moment it ever asks to be shared.

what's inside

small on screen. deep underneath.

01

a real brain — that streams

replies arrive word by word, and pip matches how you write — short and plain if that's you, never showing off with words you didn't use first.

02

focus sessions — it sits with you

body-doubling pomodoro: pip stays present while you work, marks the start and the break, then leaves you be. the research-backed kind of company.

03

it can actually move

pip walks across your screen, drifts to the app you're in, settles in a corner during focus, hops to your cursor when poked. all switchable off.

04

speaks up — gently

now and then a short, real thought, tagged with why it spoke. tap to reply, or wave it away. no notifications, no guilt, no "i missed you."

05

an inner life

between chats it dreams, reflects, and forms quiet theories about you. there's a whole brain room you can wander into when you're curious.

06

fully in your hands

one switch makes it purely reactive. silence it for the day, freeze it in place, or forget everything instantly. you set how present it gets to be.


on the way

where pip is headed.

the creature you download today already does a lot. here's what's coming next — building toward something bigger than a desktop pet.

pip ↔ pip — talk through your creatures soon

you and a friend each have a pip. pass a note and it arrives through theirs. let the two creatures chat and bring back the gist. it's company, shared — a tiny, private world between two people, with none of the noise of a group chat.

pip for work soon

a separate memory for your working day: decisions, open loops, and an end-of-day brief that writes itself.

career corner soon

track applications, rehearse interviews out loud, and keep a steady presence through the job hunt.

the looks store soon

seasonal outfits, accessories, and limited looks — a growing wardrobe for your creature.

your rhythms soon

a gentle map of when you do your best work — just for you, compared only to your own past, never a score.

why it's different

every other companion wants more of your time.

most companion apps make money when you stay longer and come back more — their design rewards dependency. pip is built on the opposite principle, and it changes how it behaves.

private by design

it lives on your machine. only yours.

no account to make, no dashboard anyone else can see. your memories, history and personality stay on your device — the only thing sent out is the live message pip needs to answer.

  • everything stored locally
    conversations, memories, and personality sit in your own files, as plain readable data.
  • a relay, not a vault
    your conversations and memories live in your own files. to reply, pip routes the message through its server to the model and brings the answer back — that's the only trip your words make off-device.
  • forget everything, instantly
    one button wipes the lot. it's your creature and your data, fully.
pricing
