Make little pixel versions of the people you love. They walk along your taskbar, climb onto your windows, keep to their week, and walk in holding a note when someone at home sends you a message.
Free. Works on Windows, Mac, phones and tablets.
Grandma's bun, your daughter's braids, the sunglasses you always wear. Twenty hairstyles, thirteen tops, beards, hats, glasses, scarves and backpacks, in any colour. Kids and babies come out smaller, just like in real life.
They stroll along the taskbar or Dock, hop onto the top of a window and ride along when you drag it. They hang from the bottom edge, sink behind a window and pop up somewhere else, or arrive through a little lift hatch.
Pick them up and drop them anywhere. Right-click for a wave, a coffee or a dance. During games and full-screen video they step aside.
"Don't forget the milk!" Your wife's pixel self walks onto your screen holding the note and waits until you click it. She sees it was read. Send one back from the app or your phone.
Mama is at the practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and relaxes on Wednesday. The kids are at school until three. Fridays are daddy day. Whoever is away walks off screen, and you can still call them.
Everyone designs their own look and their own week, once. Your daughter adds her sister to her circle, you add both to yours, and they look the same everywhere. Invite someone with a code, or add them with theirs.
New looks and new tricks arrive by themselves. The app updates at a quiet moment and comes back right where it was.
A tiny green dot tells you who's at their computer. Hover over someone to see "online, Mac" or "last seen 2 hours ago".
Set a status like "doing homework" and your character sits down and writes until you're done.
No laptop? Open the website on a phone or tablet and swipe along your street. Your house sits in the middle, the school and the practice further along, each person where their week puts them. The windows light up in the evening.
An e-mail address and a password. One account for the website, your PC and your Mac.
Give everyone their hair, clothes and glasses, say who's whose partner or child, and fill in the week.
Install the app on Windows or Mac, or add the website to the home screen of a phone or tablet. Invite the others with a code.
