Description

Study with your own pet. My Pet turns photos of your pet into a pixel-art companion that sits, walks, naps and plays along the bottom of Anki while you review.

How it works
  1. Tools β†’ My Pet β†’ Add a pet… copies a prompt and opens Google Gemini (the free version works).
  2. Attach 1–3 photos of your pet, paste the prompt and download the sprite sheet.
  3. Choose it in Anki, and My Pet turns it into a crisp, animated pixel pet.
No API key or account needed. Your photos only go to Gemini, in your own browser.
 
What your pets do
  • Sit, wander, nap and play. Click to pet them, drag to pick them up.
  • Celebrate your good answers, and all together every 25 cards.
  • Fall asleep when you stop reviewing.
  • Earn a treat every 25 right answers.
  • Chase each other and nap together when you have more than one.

Never in the way
Pets get their own strip above the answer buttons, so they never cover the card or take the keyboard.
Minimal distractions: turn their activity down to calm or sleepy and they mostly doze, or up to excited for more play.
 
Every kind of pet
Dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, birds, fish, turtles, snakes, frogs and more, each moving in their own way. Ten ready-made pets are built in to try.
 
Make it yours
  • Favourite things: beds, bowls and toys from photos, to nap on, eat from and play with.
  • Outfits: switch looks with a click.
  • More moves: running, eating, stretching and rolling over.
  • Scenes: home, park, beach, forest or lake, and Night time in the Tools menu for dark mode with stars.
  • Any size, always crisp.
