A tiny pixel pet lives in your Dynamic Island. Pick a pet and it curls up in the island at the top of your screen—animated throughout each Live Activity session, quietly keeping you company while you text, scroll, and go about your day. • 16 hand-drawn animated pets: Golden Pup, Golden Retriever, Maine Coon, Gray Cat, Black Cat, Fox, Brown Bear, Beaver, Bunny, Capybara, Hedgehog, Raccoon, Seal, Squirrel, Unicorn—and Rocky. (A rock.) • Pets do something new every minute: naps, tricks, zoomies, and tiny instruments. More than 50 animations across the roster. • Plus 479 free still pets across the Animals, Sprites, and Golden collections. • Give your pet a Lock Screen scene: 18 pixel-art scenes, or your own photos. • Keeps animating during an active session when the app is closed. Optional closed-app continuity can ask iOS to start a fresh session throughout the day, or once each morning, and stays quiet overnight (11 PM to 7 AM; switch off in Settings). Apple controls final delivery and presentation. • Golden Pup and Maine Coon are free forever. Unlock any other pet individually, or get the whole roster—for good. No subscription, ever. • Invite 2 friends, get a free pet: every 2 friends who open Pebbo with your invite unlock an animated pet of your choice. And when you want more than a pet in your island: tap Island at the top of the app to walk through a tiny 3D island where the animated pets you've unlocked wander about, and raise a Pebbo of your own—feed it, play with it, and watch it grow and change as the days go by. No accounts, no ads, and no advertising tracking. After one-time consent, closed-app continuity stores an anonymous installation credential, ActivityKit push tokens and activity timing, pet and display choices, time zone, and return schedule solely to provide this feature. Referral rewards use an anonymous identity saved on this iPhone. Purchases are processed by Apple and validated by RevenueCat. A Dynamic Island-capable iPhone is required for the Dynamic Island pet.
