Kibbit, an AI desktop companion for your Mac

A little companion who lives on your desktop.

A pixel art creature for your Mac who chats with you, reminds you of what's coming and looks after his little plant. And when you don't need him, he lives his life.

His origin

He was born in an old screen: curved glass, green light, and a hum that never went away.

  1. He was born in an old screen: curved glass, green light, and a hum that never went away.
  2. He was one among hundreds, all alike, nameless. Until one of them grew a tuft.
  3. One day the whole screen shrank into a little white dot… and went out.
  4. He switched on again in another machine. Folders, a huge cursor. Nobody explained anything.
  5. And he stayed. He built his room, piece by piece, in the corner of your desktop.

His room · live

This is his home

It's not a video: it's his actual room, on your clock's time. Hover over him, poke the lamp, say hi… or tell him what to do.

His favorite things

Pick one and he'll go do it.

What he does

He keeps you company without getting in the way

His voice

An AI gives him a voice

Kibbit doesn't come with an AI inside: you connect the one you want, and that's how he talks with you. Without one he lives happily in his room; with one, he also answers you and helps you out.

Without AI

He lives his life

  • He lives in his room, on your clock's time.
  • He sleeps, plays on his tiny arcade machine and looks after his little plant.
  • He lets you know about your calendar meetings, with a button to join.
  • He keeps you company while you focus, with the lamp on his nightstand.

With AI

He also talks with you

  • He answers whatever you ask, like in a chat.
  • He adds, moves and deletes events for you, always asking first.
  • He helps with your files and with what's on your screen.
  • His little plant grows with every chat.

Pick one of these three. Never used an AI? No problem: the first time you open him, Kibbit walks you through it step by step. And if you'd rather decide later, start without one.

Free and on your Mac

Ollama

An AI that installs on your Mac: free, no account, and no internet in between.

With your key

Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Groq…

Paste your key and you're set: you only pay for what you use. It's kept in your Mac's Keychain, never in a file.

Questions

What you might be wondering

What is Kibbit?

A little companion for your Mac: a pixel art creature who lives in his own little room, in a corner of your desktop. Some call him a desktop pet, but he's more of a friend: he chats with you using the AI you choose, reminds you of your to-dos and meetings, and when you don't need him he lives his life: he sleeps, waters his little plant and plays on his tiny arcade machine. It's free and needs no account.

Do I need to know about AI?

No. The AI is what gives Kibbit a voice. Without it he lives his life in his room, lets you know about your meetings and looks after his little plant; with it, he also talks with you, schedules things for you and helps with your files. The first time you open him, he walks you through connecting one step by step, and the simplest, Ollama, is free. You can also start without one and connect it later.

What do I need to use him?

A Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) and macOS 13 Ventura or later, and a way for Kibbit to think: Claude Code, Ollama or an API key. The app's welcome walks you through it step by step.

How much does the AI cost?

It depends on which you choose. Ollama runs on your Mac and is free. Claude Code uses your own Claude account. With an API key, each service charges you directly for what you use. Kibbit keeps none of it.

Can he see my files or my screen?

He can read and search your files to answer you. He sees your screen when you send him a screenshot, or when he needs it to help you if you gave him macOS's Screen Recording permission; you can turn it off in Settings. Anything that changes something (editing, moving, running a command, scheduling an event) he asks you about first, with a card.

Does he remind me of my meetings?

Yes. If you give him access to your calendar, he leaves his room with a note a few minutes before, with a button to join the meeting. He can also add, move and delete events, always asking you first.

What happens if I pay for Support Kibbit?

You get a key by email. Paste it into Kibbit (Settings → Support Kibbit) and the scenes, skins, plants and furniture unlock for good, and so do the ones we add later. It's one purchase that counts everywhere: the same key works on your other Macs and, when it's out, in the iPhone app.

Is there an iPhone or Windows version?

For now it's for Mac. iPhone and Apple Watch are in the plans.
