Shimeji Desktop is a desktop pet app that brings shimejis to your screen: these little screen pets walk, climb, sit on your open windows and react to your mouse.

Used the original Java Shimeji or Shimeji-ee (Shimeji EE)? Your existing shimeji packs work as is: no Java installation, no setup. Download, extract and start. Run several characters at once, even across multiple monitors.

Characters are not included. Use your own shimeji packs or community-made packs. This project is independent and not affiliated with any game or anime brand.

Features

  • Drag and drop any shimeji with the mouse
  • Add or remove shimejis from the system tray
