Minisprite Engine

Bring your desktop to life

Minisprite Engine lets you place animated sprites, mascots, music, and small widgets directly on your desktop — or behind it, as a living wallpaper.

A quiet, living desktop space — coexisting with your work, not interrupting it.

🎨 Animated Sprites & Videos

• Drop in cute mascots, your favorite meme clips, or short funny videos
• Supports GIF · PNG sequences · Aseprite · MP4 · WebM
• Place characters anywhere on your desktop, freely

🎵 Music Player

• Play your favorite tracks straight from your desktop
• Magnetic mode — a favorite companion follows along beneath the player
• Work, relax, or just set a mood

🖱️ Effortless Placement

• Always-on-top, click-through, and free drag
• Run several of the same companion side by side
• Multi-monitor aware — companions move freely across screens

🖼️ On Wallpaper Mode

• Pin sprites and widgets onto your wallpaper — not just on top of it
• Three layers — Foreground, Mid (above icons, below windows), or Wallpaper (behind your work)
• Mix freely — some up front, some behind, all at once

🧰 Ready Out of the Box

A black-cat mascot greets you on first launch — your desktop already has a companion.

Six small tools come bundled too — a Pomodoro timer, a sticky note, a calendar, a calculator, tic-tac-toe, and Lippy (a character whose mouth moves with your microphone).

And through Steam Workshop, creators bring clocks, alarms, visualizers, mini-games — many more characters and tools arriving all the time.

🎬 Made for Streaming Setups

• A companion on your desktop is a companion in your stream — a tiny mascot your viewers will notice
• Drop a favorite meme clip in the corner and your stream feels more alive
• A Pomodoro timer or sticky note works as a small live-stream HUD — almost by accident

🌐 Steam Workshop, Built In

• Search, subscribe, and download — all from inside the app
• Upload your own characters and widgets just as easily
• Your collection syncs across PCs

🛠️ Make It Yours

A built-in editor turns any image, GIF, video, or Aseprite file into a Workshop-ready asset — no external tools needed.

If you can imagine it, build it. Share it with everyone else.
