Desktop Pets That Dance to Your Music

Yes, some desktop pets dance when you play music. Put on a song and they start to move in time, right there on your desktop. It is one of those small things that makes a screen feel a little more alive.

How does a desktop pet know music is playing?

The good news for your privacy: it does not need to listen to the song or read your screen to do this. A well-made desktop pet only checks a simple signal, whether audio is playing on your computer, and starts to dance when it is. PebbletsIO works exactly this way. It never reads your screen and never looks at your files. More on that on the FAQ.

Which companions dance best?

Any of the PebbletsIO pets will have a little groove, but the ones built to perform are the PopStars, our signature idol line. They are idol-style dancing companions, each its own original character inspired by the energy of K-pop stage performances. Start a playlist and the whole group puts on a show in the corner of your screen.

Setting it up

• Install PebbletsIO on your Mac or Windows PC.
• Pick a companion. The free duck dances too, if you want to try it first.
• Play some music, and watch them move.

That is the whole trick. No configuration, no permissions to fuss with, just a little friend that likes the same songs you do.
