Two pets.
Two screens. One quiet stay.

The desktop pet for couples — their pet lives on your screen and wakes when they sit down.

at their desk

Lean over to their desk

Send a kiss, a nudge, or a quick note. Their pet reacts like you just appeared beside them.

Go on — try it. Nothing leaves your machine.

Made for long-distance couples

Long distance is mostly waiting — for a reply, for a call, for the weekend. LittleUs makes the waiting small and alive: their pet naps on your screen while they're away, stretches awake the moment they sit down, and wanders while they're there.

No "you there?" texts. You glance over, and there they are.

Their presence, not their absence.

Both online two pets, two desks, quietly together

Pick the one that's most you

Three pixel pets, each with its own personality. Choose the one your partner will see on their desktop all day. Tap or hover to wake one.

Blush

clingy

A soft troublemaker. Nudges your icons out of line until you finally look up and smile.

Owlet

night owl

The quiet one. Perches near your clock through late shifts so the room feels less empty.

Dude

hyper

Pure chaos on two legs. Sprints across the desktop when your partner logs in.

More companions, outfits and toys ship as optional packs — never required.

Built for one person first.

LittleUs started because a founder kept going quiet on his fiancée. Not on purpose — he was heads-down on his first product, and the texts piled up again each night.

So he gave her a laptop and built her presence onto his screen. Her pet wakes when she sits down; his lives on hers.

That scene — two people at their desks, still together — is what this little app protects.

It never sees your screen.

Only your login status and the nudges you deliberately send ever leave your machine.

leaves your machine

Only what makes presence work.

  • login status
  • deliberate nudges

stays on your machine

Everything personal.

Your screen, chats, and files never leave. LittleUs only sends login status and actions you choose, like nudges.

Questions before you download

Can LittleUs see my screen?+

No. It knows one thing — whether your computer is unlocked — plus the nudges you deliberately send. Nothing is captured, stored or uploaded. It never sees your screen, your chats, or your relationship.

What does it cost?+

Your own desktop pet is free forever. The couple part is $4.99 once — their pet on your desktop, shared hearts and kisses. One purchase covers both of you, forever. Or gift it for $3 — with a note from us.

Do we both need to pay?+

No — one purchase covers both of you, forever. They never pay, and your own pet stays free regardless. It also makes a lovely little anniversary gift.

Will a pet get in the way while I work?+

Pets live in a click-through overlay, so your cursor passes right through them. One shortcut tucks them into bed until you want them back.

Does it work across time zones?+

That's the whole point. Their pet sleeps on your desktop while they sleep, then stretches awake the moment they sit down.

Is it only for couples?+

It's built for two, and used by all sorts — long-distance partners, siblings, best friends, a parent and a kid away at university. The pet is whoever you miss.

Do I need an account?+

Yes — an email and a username, and it takes about ten seconds. That's what carries your pet between computers, and it's how your partner finds you when you pair. No card required.

Is there a Mac version?+

Not yet. Apple requires signing and notarization before we can ship it responsibly. Windows and Linux first — the download section shows current Mac status.

Will it slow my computer down?+

No. The pet is a small overlay that renders a handful of pixel frames — no heavy graphics, no background scanning. It sits in your tray and uses next to nothing until your person shows up.
