Your very own pet, living right on your home screen. Widgepets is a tiny creature that lives in your widget β€” and it needs you. Feed it, play with it, and watch it grow from an egg into a one-of-a-kind companion.

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 β€” its colors, features, and expressions are yours alone. No two are ever the same.

About

OuO Pet

Features
Read full description

OuO is a little ink-drawn face that lives on your screen β€” and genuinely reacts to you. Tap it, pet it, poke it, tickle it. Every touch gets an answer. No rules, no timers, no way to lose. Just a small companion that’s happy you showed up. PLAY WITH THE FACE Poke an eye and it winks. Pat a cheek and it blushes. Rub a cheek and it puckers up. Boop the mouth for a kiss. Poke both eyes and it protests. Drag a finger and the eyes follow. Shake the phone and it goes dizzy. Rub its head and the mood softens again. SECRETS TO DISCOVER More than twenty hidden reactions wait in the Discovery Journal. Unlock them at your own pace. Nothing is required. Missing a day is never a failure. MAKE IT YOURS Style OuO with sparkle shapes, ink colours, and finishes. Put a live face on your Home Screen with the widget. English and Arabic, whenever you like. A LIFE OF ITS OWN Leave it alone and OuO gets bored, sleepy, drowsy. It yawns, hums, and melts into a nap β€” then perks up when you come back. Mood follows how you treat it: poke too much and it gets angry; a forehead rub helps it forget. Drawn live with a procedural ink brush. No stock art. No sprite sheets. It breathes and wobbles like hand-drawn animation. Inspired by Mike Inel’s original OuO. Have fun.
