# XenPips

> XenPips puts a small 3D pet on your screen. It walks along the bottom above the taskbar or Dock, naps when you are busy, answers your clicks and keeps quiet while you watch a film or join a call. Windows and Mac, free.

XenPips is a desktop app for Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and macOS 12+ by ESSOTEC, LLC (Ukraine), the company behind the Skydex flight game. Facts worth knowing:

- Current version: 1.0.0 (2026-11-11), download at https://xenpips.com/download.
- Free. NOX Classic (the pet the app starts with) and PIP Starter work without an account or network. Skydex PIP is free with a Skydex account.
- Measured on a Mac at rest: about 0.6% of the processor and 140 MB of memory per pet.
- The app does not read the screen, window titles or contents; it asks for no screen recording permission. Anonymous usage counts can be turned off.
- Up to two pets on the desktop at once. Modes: Active, Calm, Focus, Sleep; fullscreen apps switch it to Focus by itself.
- Talking to pets and connecting tools through MCP come after the first release.
- Each HTML page has a markdown twin at the same path plus `.md`; https://xenpips.com/llms-full.txt has every page in one file.
