[OS] - OpenPets v3 with Plugins SDK Demo

In this video I showcase openpets latest version with plugins SDK improvements.

Openpets is open source, desktop pets software which allows everyone to write their own plugins and make their pets connected to any service, or behave as they like.

Latest version took a lot of effort to release, but we finally finished, and shipped several plugins. Community also started publishing initial plugins such as spotify connector, Lan mode etc.

It is free and MIT licensed.

I built windows desktop pet companions (Free, open source, programmable)

hi everyone,

Quick update about openpets - programmable, open-source desktop companions.

I’ve released version 3 with major SDK updates. It’s now possible to write advanced custom plugins that can interact with your desktop pet, schedule actions, show notifications, play sounds, expose commands, and build richer companion behavior.

Currently we have plugins, such as:

  • Water Reminder -hydration nudges from your pet
  • Reminders - simple local reminders with optional sounds/notifications
  • Focus Buddy - focus and break sessions with pet feedback
  • Launch Buddy - greetings when OpenPets starts
  • Fortune Cookie - daily/on-demand fortune messages
  • Magic 8 Ball - ask your pet silly questions
  • Mood Check-in - scheduled mood prompts
  • Virtual Pet - lightweight care/interaction loop
  • Day Routine - morning/evening companion check-ins
  • Walkabout - An OpenPets plugin that makes your pet roam the screen.

OpenPets is becoming a local-first programmable desktop companion platform.

You can:

  • install and switch pets
  • use built-in plugins
  • write your own local plugins
  • connect it with agents/tools if you want
  • keep everything open-source and local-first

I’d love feedback from people who like desktop companions, small local apps, or plugin systems.

oh-my-opencode-slim v2 beta is all about background agents

Opencode is adding background agents, and right now it's behind OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_BACKGROUND_SUBAGENTS flag.

With v2 beta, I'm targeting good background orchestration and have being using for a while already. Fixed lots of bugs and right now mostly waiting opencode to make non-experimental so I can realese

If you try let me know how it goes, I'm liking it!
