What it is
Clawd on Desk is a desktop pet that watches and reacts to AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot) in real time. It provides animated states, theme support, and a set of integrations with various agent tools. The project describes built-in themes and compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a pixel-art aesthetic and interactive UI elements.
How it works
The app tracks real-time state through agent hooks and log polling to drive Clawd's animations. It supports multiple agents simultaneously, with per-session tracking and a dashboard for live sessions. It includes a permission bubble UI for certain agents and a range of animation states (idle, thinking, typing, building, subagent activity, etc.). It offers a mobile PWA companion and a local tray/dashboard system for managing sessions and notifications.
Getting started
The README excerpt indicates cross-platform support and multiple installation paths (Windows x64 and ARM64 installers, source builds with Node.js).

Exact commands for setup are provided in the repository's INSTALL/GUIDES sections, including agent-specific hook installation steps.
