ShadowPetYour pet, living on your desktop.
ShadowPet turns photos of your own dog into a personalized, animated companion that sits on your desktop, does their signature trick, and keeps you company while you work.
A warm little keepsake — for the pet still curled up next to you, and for the one you still miss.
Free to download and try. A one-time purchase unlocks creating your own pet.

Questions
Is this really my pet, or a generic AI dog?
Yours. The art is generated from the photos and description you provide.
Do you keep my photos?
No. Photos are sent once to create the art, then everything lives on your device. See our Privacy Policy.
Mac or Windows?
macOS at launch. Windows is on the way.
What's a creation credit?
One generation — creating a pet or refining their look. You get a generous batch with purchase; top up only if you want more.
What if my pet has passed?
ShadowPet is a gentle way to keep them close. Many people use it as a small memorial; many use it to celebrate a pet who's still here. Both are welcome.
Refunds?
14-day window if you've used 5 or fewer credits. See our Refund Policy.
Keep your best friend close.
Whether they're still curled up next to you or you just miss them, ShadowPet keeps a little piece of them right there on your screen.
