Desktop Gremlins

Meet your new desktop companion — a mischievous creature that lives directly on your screen, reacts to what you do, and absolutely refuses to be ignored.

Desktop Gremlins is a transparent, always-on-top desktop pet that grows and evolves as you spend time with it. Feed it, pet it, entertain it, and watch a tiny slime transform through five distinct character forms.

Just don’t forget to take care of your gremlin — or be prepared to face the consequences!

🌱 Evolve Your Companion

Begin as a tiny slime and unlock five unique character forms. Each one has its own appearance, animations, dialogue, and personality.

Feeding, petting, and interacting with your gremlin grants experience and helps it evolve.

🪟 Attach It to Your Windows

Turn any application window into your gremlin’s new home.

Attach your companion to a selected window and let it walk along the top edge or live directly inside it. Your gremlin follows the window when it is moved or resized, making it feel like a living part of your desktop.

😈 Chaos Mode

Want to cause a little mayhem? Enable Chaos Mode and give your gremlin complete freedom.

It can shake and move windows, rearrange desktop icons, spin applications, flash the taskbar, create screen effects, summon visual events, and perform many other unexpected pranks.

Your gremlin will make sure it gets noticed.

📺 Twitch Integration

Turn Desktop Gremlins into an interactive stream companion.

Connect your Twitch account and allow viewers to spend Channel Points to feed or pet the gremlin, display messages, trigger visual effects, or unleash selected Chaos Mode actions live on stream.

Streamers can choose which rewards are available, enable or disable individual effects, adjust their Channel Point costs, and test them before going live. When a reward is activated, the viewer’s name and chosen action appear on screen.

A dedicated Streamer Mode helps hide sensitive account and authorization information while broadcasting.

Twitch Channel Points reward management requires an eligible Twitch Affiliate or Partner channel.

🎵 Music and Application Reactions

Your gremlin dances when it hears music and reacts differently when you open Steam, Discord, Visual Studio Code, Photoshop, and other applications.

It carefully watches what you are doing and always has an opinion.

💬 A Living Personality

Enjoy hundreds of different lines in six languages:

• English
• Українська
• Русский
• 日本語
• Polski
• Italiano

Your gremlin can be hungry, happy, sleepy, affectionate, excited, or furious — and it will always make sure you know exactly how it feels.

🛠 Steam Workshop

Customize your gremlin with community-created sprite packs from the Steam Workshop.

Subscribe to creations made by other players, download them directly through Steam, preview them in the built-in Workshop library, and apply them without leaving the application.

Want to share your own character? The built-in upload tool validates the structure and dimensions of your sprites, then allows you to publish a complete sprite pack directly to the Steam Workshop.

Create your own gremlins, share them with the community, and discover new designs made by other users.
