modbender 🦞 Claw Desktop Pet — Give OpenClaw a Body
A desktop AI companion that gives your OpenClaw agent a physical presence on your desktop.
What is it?
A 67px fluid glass ball that lives on your desktop — it breathes, blinks, speaks, and reacts. Messages appear like floating desktop lyrics with white glow text. Your agent isn't invisible anymore.
Features
- 🫧 Fluid Glass Ball — 67px sphere with 7 mood color systems
- 👀 15+ Eye Expressions — blink, curious, sleepy, surprised, follow mouse
- 🎵 Desktop Lyrics — typewriter text, white glow, mouse pass-through
- 🎤 Voice Cloning — MiniMax Speech with 7 emotions, auto detection
- 🎨 Dual Window Architecture — sprite + lyrics, fully transparent
- ⚫ Offline/Online Animation — gray sleep → colorful revival with particles
- 💬 Feishu/Lark Sync — bidirectional message sync
- 🛡️ Enterprise Stability — auto-restart, error handling, performance monitoring
