DesktopDaily is a 3D desktop character app built around a sense of everyday companionship. Let a character stay on your desktop, idle quietly, react from time to time, talk with you through your own API key, and reply using local voice synthesis.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >About This App</h2> DesktopDaily is designed to let 3D characters become a more natural part of your everyday desktop. The design focus is not on affection points or relationship stats. Instead, we want to create a sense of continuous desktop companionship: a character stays on your computer desktop and gradually becomes part of your everyday environment while you work, study, browse, or take a break. You do not need to constantly interact with the character or give them your full attention. They can stay quietly in a corner of your desktop and react from time to time. When you want to talk, you can use your own API key to chat with the character, and the reply can be played back through local voice synthesis. DesktopDaily is about the everyday moments you share with a character on your desktop.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Core Experience in Development</h2> 3D characters on your desktop Characters are displayed through a transparent window, making them suitable for staying on your desktop during everyday computer use. You can place them in a corner of the screen without entering a traditional game window. Basic desktop interaction The current version provides character display, position adjustment, scaling, hiding, and basic settings, allowing characters to fit more naturally into your desktop environment. Conversation You can talk with the character by configuring a compatible API key. Conversation text is generated by the model selected by the user. The current version does not include a built-in cloud LLM service. Local voice synthesis Character replies can be played back through local TTS. Voice synthesis runs on the user's own device and is not provided as a cloud TTS service. Actual speed and performance may vary depending on CPU, GPU, driver, and inference method. Selfie feature The current version is testing a selfie feature. The character can pick up a selfie stick and appear together with the current desktop screen. You can adjust the selfie stick distance, switch expressions, and save a screenshot that includes both the character and your desktop. This is not just an ordinary screenshot. We want it to capture the character, your desktop, and the moments you spend together. Life simulation events The app is developing life simulation event features, and the current version has already begun offering event experiences such as fishing. Characters may trigger small events on the desktop, such as fishing, cooking, resting, or showing items they have obtained. These events are not simply auto-playing performances. Instead, we want you to be able to progress through events together with the character through conversation. For example, during an event, you can respond to the character, make choices, or continue chatting, and the character will react based on the current event state and your conversation. Specific event content, trigger conditions, and presentation may continue to change based on development progress and test feedback. Character detail viewing The app is planned to include a way to view character model details more closely, such as hair ornaments, accessories, outfits, and other small decorations. We want the characters to feel like carefully made 3D characters staying on your desktop, not just images displayed on the screen.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Current Characters</h2> The current test version includes the following characters: <ul class="bb_ul"><li>Free material character “Tsukuyomi-chan” (つくよみちゃん) </li><li>Voice material character “Koharune Ami” (小春音アミ)</li></ul> DesktopDaily is not an official work by the rights holders of the related characters.

Complete credit and license information can be found in the app, in the included files, and on the credit page of the app's official website.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Public Playtest Plan</h2> The current version is still in development and internal testing. Before opening it to the public, we will continue adjusting the basic experience and confirming the stability of the current build through limited previews and feedback. After that, we plan to open a public test through Steam Playtest to verify: <ul class="bb_ul"><li>Performance on different hardware environments; </li><li>Compatibility and speed of local TTS; </li><li>Whether the API key setup process is clear; </li><li>Stability of the transparent desktop window and basic interaction; </li><li>The actual experience of in-development features such as the selfie feature and life simulation events; </li><li>Areas where character motion, display, and overall user experience need improvement.</li></ul> The public test build will not represent the final content. It is a development build for collecting feedback and gradually improving the experience.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Future Development Direction</h2> DesktopDaily will continue to be improved in future versions. Planned development directions include: <ul class="bb_ul"><li>Memory features; </li><li>Expansion of life simulation events; </li><li>Additional motions and motion polish; </li><li>Notification and reminder features; </li><li>Expansion of photo and screenshot-related features; </li><li>Voice input; </li><li>Visual understanding; </li><li>Optional local AI features; </li><li>More character performances and desktop interactions.</li></ul> These features will be added gradually depending on development progress, test feedback, and practical feasibility. Specific content may change during development.
