pjiu

A small creature that lives on your pages
and reminds you to take a break.

pjiu is a tiny companion that rests in the corner of your browser. Every 5–60 minutes it crosses the screen, says one short line, and moves on — never covering content, never interrupting typing.

The pjiu pet resting at the bottom of a light article page

What it does

A calm presence, not another notification.

Gentle break reminders

On your schedule (5–60 min) the pet crosses the screen, pauses for one short line, and exits the other edge. Fully transparent while away.

Never in the way

The pet never blocks clicks or text selection, never pops over content, and goes quiet while you are typing. Fullscreen? It hides.

A companion, not a widget

Drag it anywhere, click it for a reaction, hover to pet it. Its eyes follow your pointer and it fidgets on its own between reminders.

Feed it thoughts

Drag selected text onto the pet and it saves the snippet to a local Markdown journal on your own disk, in a folder you choose.

Your AI, your notes

Optionally connect your own AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, and more) to turn fed snippets into process notes and a knowledge map. pjiu has no server — text goes to your provider only.

A little game

Double-click the pet for a find-the-target shooting game with a live timer and a local best time. A two-minute brain break.

Three characters, one personality each

A cat, a dog, and a rabbit ship in v1 — each with its own set of unique actions on top of the shared animation set.
