I built Codex Avatars - one animated desktop Pet for every Codex agent

Do you love Codex Pets too? I’ve got something for you!

I wanted a more visual way to see what Codex was doing, especially when several tasks and subagents were running at the same time.

So I built Codex Avatars, an open-source Windows companion that gives each Codex task and subagent its own animated Pet on your desktop.

Features include:

  • Independent avatars for main agents and subagents
  • Live working, waiting, completed, and dormant states
  • Task names, model, and reasoning effort displayed under each avatar
  • Movement across one or multiple monitors
  • Different Pet assignment modes: matching subagents or fully random
  • Native Codex Pet V2 support
  • An integrated Pet marketplace and direct installation
  • Custom roaming areas, avatar sizes, and visibility settings
  • Automatic startup with Windows and quick enable/disable controls

The overlay itself is invisible, so the Pets simply roam around your desktop while Codex works.

The project is currently Windows-only, and the installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may display a warning.

I’d love to hear your feedback, feature ideas, and bug reports. Contributions and new Pet submissions are welcome too!

[Android] Looking for testers for my turn-based roguelite - play as a slime, devour enemies and steal their abilities!

Hi everyone!

I’m currently developing a turn-based mobile roguelite where you play as a slime.

When you encounter an enemy, defeating it isn’t your only option. You can:

  • Devour it to absorb abilities or passive effects, sometimes with unexpected drawbacks
  • Defeat it to gain experience
  • Spare, talk to or knock it out, which may affect future encounters and how other creatures react to you

The idea is to let players gradually create their own unique slime build while making meaningful choices during each run.

The game is now approaching its first public release on Android, and I need at least 12 testers for a 14-day Google Play closed test before I can submit it for official release.

I’m looking for Android players who would be willing to:

  • Install and keep the game enrolled during the testing period
  • Play it at least a few times
  • Report bugs or confusing elements
  • Share honest feedback about the gameplay, balance and overall experience

Participation is completely free. The form asks for your email address because I need the Google account connected to your Play Store to grant you access to the closed test. Your address will only be used for the test and related updates, no spam.

👉 Join the closed test here:

Every tester will directly help me improve the game and get it one step closer to an official launch.

Thanks a lot for your support! Questions, suggestions and first impressions are also very welcome in the comments. 🎮🟢
