Pocket Pet

Coming soon for iPhone

Your pet. A little more pixel.

Turn a photo of your cat or dog into a tiny pixel companion in their colours. Give them a spot on your Home Screen—or bring them along for a walk or focus session.

Make your pet, then try Pocket Pet Pro free for a week: $14.99 a year after that, or $29.99 once.

A few things you might be wondering.

Does it work with cats and dogs?

Yes. Pocket Pet includes hand-drawn pixel-art cats and dogs, with 17 animated poses for each species.

Will it look exactly like my pet?

Pocket Pet uses your photo to match your pet's colours to hand-drawn sprites. It doesn't recreate their exact shape or every marking. The look editor lets you make adjustments.

Can I use it without paying?

You can make your pet and see it for free. Using the app after that needs Pocket Pet Pro: yearly at $14.99 (new subscribers may get a 1-week free trial; cancel anytime) or lifetime at $29.99, paid once. US prices shown.

Does my pet stay in the Dynamic Island all day?

Dynamic Island features are part of active walk and focus sessions on supported iPhones. They aren't a permanent overlay.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Photo processing happens entirely on your iPhone.
