Your family on your desktop
The app puts your family on your computer screen: they walk along the taskbar or Dock, climb on your windows, hug, drink coffee and bring you messages. Sign in with the same account as this website and everything stays in sync.
🪟Windows
- Unzip the download (right-click → Extract All…).
- Double-click
PixelCompanions.exe. If Windows says "Windows protected your PC": More info → Run anyway. - Your family appears at the bottom of the screen. The menu is under the little character in the tray (bottom right, maybe behind the ^).
- Choose Account → Sign in and use your account from this website.
🍎Mac
- Open the download (it unzips in your Downloads folder).
- Right-click
Install Pixel Companions.command→ Open → Open. It installs the app in Applications and starts it. (macOS asks this the first time only, because the app isn't from the App Store.) - The installer leaves a copy of itself on your Desktop: to update, download the new zip and double-click that copy.
- The menu is the little character in the menu bar (top right). Choose Account → Sign in.
