Requires your own DeepSeek API key and your own GIF assets, screen recording needs manual permission on macOS.
This project creates a desktop pet: an animated bear that floats on your screen at all times. The bear is displayed as a GIF animation that you supply yourself. The repository does not include any bear images. You place your own GIF files into an assets folder, and the bear plays through them in order, cycling between different poses. You can number the files to control the playback sequence. The bear supports basic interaction. Clicking it opens a chat window powered by the DeepSeek AI service, which requires you to supply your own API key on first use. The key is saved securely so you do not need to enter it again. You can give the bear a custom personality by writing a short description of how it should talk, and it will follow that style in conversation. The bear can also remember specific preferences you tell it, such as keeping answers short or using a relaxed tone. A timer feature lets you set a reminder for a specified number of minutes, and the bear will pop up a notification when time is up. The macOS version has an additional feature where the bear can periodically read the text visible on your screen and comment on it briefly. This requires you to manually grant screen recording permission. The Windows version skips this feature to stay simple. Two separate implementations are provided: one for macOS written in Swift, and one for Windows written in Python. On macOS you build the app using a provided script and the result is a standard Mac application bundle. On Windows you run the Python script directly. Both versions support dragging the bear around the screen and opening a right-click menu with options for chat, changing pose, memory management, and timers. The README is written in Chinese and describes the project as intended for personal use.
