Widgey

A lilac pixel-art cat with a striped scarf walking in a sunny garden.

A tiny pixel-art pet that lives in an Apple Watch complication, right below the time. It reads, walks, dances, gets hungry, falls asleep and waits for you. You pick it on iPhone and look after it on the Watch, a few seconds at a time.

Like AniMeteo, it animates a complication using a system timer and a very weird font: 30-second loops at 1, 2 or 4 frames per second, no private APIs, nothing running in the background.

A pet eating its favorite snack, with hearts.

A chick in a witch hat dancing on Halloween night, with a jack-o'-lantern and bats.

Five families (cat, rabbit, bear, fox, chick) with seeded colors, ears, markings and tails.
Four snacks and a favorite to discover, a catch-the-ball game, two small surprises a day.
Friendship levels unlock a bow, a scarf, a cap and a crown.
It dresses up for New Year, Carnival, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Christmas and its own birthday.
It never dies. No ads, no tracking, no account, no subscription. Interface in Italian.
iPhone with iOS 17 and Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later.
