Meet your pet#

Blu, Petal, Pinky, Archie and Chatty: Apptivly's mascots, made for Xeneric. Pick one in Dashboard → Pet. Your pet lives at the bottom of your screen or perches on your windows, comments on what's running in your terminal, and naps when you're away.

  • Drag it anywhere; it lands on windows or the bottom of the screen.
  • Double-click to ask Xeneric. Right-click for its menu.
  • Drop files on it to open the Files circle.

Connect Claude Code#

Connect → Claude Code adds Xeneric hooks to ~/.claude/settings.json, so Xeneric sees every Claude Code session: prompts, tools, approvals, done. Your pet then tells you what Claude is doing, when it needs you and when it's finished.
