GlimpetsAR companion for iPhone
A tiny pet that lives with you.
Meet a small pet that naps on your floor, explores your room and wanders off on its own little adventures while you're away.
Free to adopt. Nothing to feed, nothing to clean.
A life of its own
It keeps going when you put your phone down.
Your pet has its own little routine: lazy mornings, sunny afternoons, sleepy nights. Whenever you look, it's somewhere in the middle of its day.
A big stretch
Up and about, ready to see what the day brings.
Soaking up the sun
Found a warm patch of sunlight and settled right in.
Watching the window
Something very interesting is happening outside.
Fast asleep
Curled up and dreaming until morning.
Companionship, not chores
Always happy to see you.
Glimpets isn't a game you can fall behind in. There are no meters to fill and nothing that goes wrong while you're busy living your life.
No chores, no guilt
Nothing to feed, nothing to clean. Your pet never gets sick and never runs off. Five minutes or five weeks, it's just glad you're here.
Remembers your room
Your pet picks a favorite spot in your room, and that's where you'll find it next time you look.
Little moments to share
Record a short video of your pet playing in your living room and send it to a friend.
Room or cozy corner
Wherever you are, it's there.
See your pet right on your floor, or curl up with it in its own cozy corner when you're on the couch, in bed or on the go.
In your room
Point your iPhone at the floor and your pet hops in. It turns to look at you, walks up when you come close, and hides behind the sofa on iPhones with LiDAR.
Cozy corner
No camera needed. Same pet, same pats and chin scratches, in a warm little room of its own. Easy on your battery, too.
A personality all its own
After a day or two, you'll know who they are.
Pick the personality that fits. Cat or dog, any pet can be any of them, and they grow a little closer to you over time.
Easygoing
Happy to hang out, happy to do their own thing.
Where everyone startsShadow
Wherever you go, they're right behind you.
Free Spirit
Has a life of their own, and visits on their own terms.
Explorer
Every corner is a mystery worth sniffing out.
Snoozer
Why stand when you can lie down?
Private by design
What happens in your room stays in your room.
The camera view and the shape of your room are processed on your iPhone and never uploaded. Read the privacy policy.
- No account to make. No name, no email.
- Camera and room map stay on your iPhone.
- Your pet lives on your iPhone and in your own iCloud, so it comes along to a new phone.
- No ads, no tracking across apps.
Questions
Good to know
What happens if I don't open the app for a while?
Nothing bad, ever. Your pet keeps living its relaxed little life: napping, exploring, sitting in the sun. When you open the app again, it's simply extra happy to see you.
Will it send me lots of notifications?
No. Notifications are off until you say yes, and Glimpets only asks after you've spent a couple of days together. Even then it's at most one quiet note a day, only between 10 am and 8 pm, with no sound. You can turn them off any time in Settings.
Do I need a big room or a lot of space?
A bit of clear floor is enough. Your pet is about the size of a small real kitten. And if you'd rather not use the camera, the cozy corner works anywhere.
Which iPhones are supported?
Any iPhone that supports ARKit. On iPhones with LiDAR, your pet can hide behind furniture even more convincingly.
Can I choose what my pet looks like?
You choose a cat or a dog. Their coat, markings, ears and build are a little surprise: every pet is one of a kind, and stays that way.
How much does it cost?
Adopting a pet and spending time together is free. Companionship will never be behind a paywall.
Someone small is getting ready to move in.
Glimpets is coming soon to the App Store for iPhone.
