A virtual pet that lives on your phone screen. Adopt a tiny buddy, name it, feed it, clean it, play with it, and watch it grow from baby to teen to adult while it answers every tap, swipe and shake with a face of its own. Screen Pet is a real care simulator, not a static cartoon. Four needs — mood, energy, hunger and cleanliness — drift with the hours you are away, so your buddy genuinely notices when you show up. Fifteen care, play, item and emotion actions each move those bars differently, run on their own cooldowns, and shape the 12 expressions your pet pulls back at you. Everything runs offline on your device: no account, no ads, no internet required. WHAT YOU GET - A buddy that answers back — tap, swipe or shake and get an instant animated reaction with sound and haptics - Needs you can actually read — mood, energy, hunger and cleanliness bars that drain over time and recover from the right action - Real growth to work toward — Baby to Teen to Adult evolution driven by the days you keep showing up - 15 distinct actions — feed, bathe, brush, heal, massage, fetch, hide and seek, teach tricks, hug, dance, sing and more - A pet that looks like yours — 8 colors, 6 accessories, 6 sky themes and 4 room scenes to settle into - A reason to come back tomorrow — three fresh daily missions, a reward-chest track, streaks, coins, care levels, six achievements and two 30-second mini-games PERFECT FOR - Anyone who wants a pet but cannot keep one at home - Fans of 90s pocket-pet toys and cosy care simulators - Fidgety hands that want a calm 30-second break, not another shooter - Anyone who likes a small daily ritual with a streak worth protecting WHY NOT JUST TAP A FREE IDLE CLICKER? Because a clicker wants your thumbs, not your attention. Screen Pet has no ad breaks between taps, no timers begging for gems and no leaderboard grind. Your buddy's needs move slowly and honestly, the mini-games are short on purpose, and one visit a day is enough to keep it thriving. PRIVACY No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your pet, its stats, streak and every setting stay in your device's local storage and are never uploaded anywhere. FULL ACCESS Full access unlocks all 15 care, play, item and emotion actions, all 8 pet colors, all 6 accessories, and all 10 backgrounds and room scenes. Choose a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in your App Store account settings. Adopt your buddy tonight, give it a name, and feed it its first snack.

Your very own pet, living right on your home screen. Widgepets is a tiny creature that lives in your widget — and it needs you. Feed it, play with it, and watch it grow from an egg into a one-of-a-kind companion. Every time you glance at your phone, there it is: happy when you've cared for it, sleepy at night, a little hungry when you've been away too long. A PET THAT'S ALWAYS THERE Add your Widgepet to your home screen and it becomes part of your day — no app to open, just glance and care. RAISE IT FROM AN EGG Hatch an egg and your pet grows through baby, child, teen, and adult. Feed, rest, play, and pet to keep it thriving. ONE OF A KIND Every pet's look is procedurally generated — its colors, features, and expressions are yours alone. No two are ever the same. EIGHT SPECIES TO COLLECT Start with two free species, then unlock all eight — Leaflet, Ember, Dewdrop, Pebble, Cloudpuff, Starling, Mochi, and Blossom — with one small purchase. IT REMEMBERS YOU Your pet gently lets you know when it's hungry or misses you, and every raised pet joins your album. Free to play, supported by ads. No accounts, ever.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Screen Pet at none against Widgepets's shown. Widgepets's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
