Choose your pet
Seventy to pick from. You can change its colour, hat and name any time after.

Whatever you call it is what it answers to, forever.
Your pet needs a name first.

Where you live

More backgrounds, hats and collars unlock the longer you keep visiting.
Your pet lives in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is no account to make.
A small creature that is glad you came back
Pick one of 70 pets, give it a name, and it is yours. Feed it treats, play with it, pet it and talk to it, and it grows up over the days you visit. Change its colour, put a hat on it, rename it whenever you like. It is a minute a day, and it is free.
Your pet cannot get sick and cannot die. If you disappear for a week it will not punish you for it. It will have made a mess out of sheer boredom, and it will be delighted to see you. That is deliberate. A pet that makes you feel guilty is a pet you stop visiting.
Every day your pet also brings you one quote from our library of more than 12,000. That is the real point of the whole thing.
Questions people ask
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no account, no email and nothing to buy. The page is free because the rest of the site is supported by ads.
Do I need to download anything?
No. It runs in your browser on any phone, tablet or computer. The whole thing is about 54 KB over the wire, which is smaller than most single photos, so it loads on a slow connection even though there are 1,260 hand-generated sprites in it.
Where is my pet saved?
On this device only, in your browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to a server. If you clear your browser data or switch to a different device or browser, your pet will not be there.
Can my pet die?
No. Your pet never gets sick and never dies. If you do not visit for a while it will make a mess out of boredom, and it will be very pleased to see you when you come back.
What happens if I miss a day?
Nothing bad. Your pet keeps growing from the days you do visit, and you can tidy the mess in one tap. There is no punishment and no losing.
How does my pet grow up?
It grows on the days you visit, not on the calendar. Baby for the first 7 days, young until day 21, then fully grown. A pet that lays eggs may leave you a permanent baby.
Can I change my pet's colour or dress it up?
Yes, any time. There are 14 coat colours, plus hats and collars. Some hats and collars unlock as you keep visiting. You can also rename your pet whenever you like.
Does my pet have a personality?
Yes. Every pet is given one of eight personalities when you adopt it, and it keeps that for life. It also works out a favourite food and a favourite game over the first week. Two people who adopt the same animal end up with quite different pets.
Can I save a picture of my pet?
Yes. Tap Save a GIF and you get an animated picture of your pet with its name and its day count, ready to post or send to someone.
Is this a Tamagotchi?
It is the same idea, but it is not a Tamagotchi and is not connected to Bandai. This one is free, runs in a browser and your pet cannot die.
A note. Your pet says kind things, and it means them, but it is a small drawing and not a professional. Nothing here is medical or mental health advice. If you are struggling, please talk to a doctor, a therapist or someone you trust. In the US you can call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any time.
