Show HN: Pet Reminder – A macOS reminder app with a desktop pet

adamhowell•16 minutes ago

So, on the one hand, I want everyone to be able to vibe code all the software they always wish existed and be able to use it and enjoy it.

But, on the other hand, I don't ever want to use anyone else's vibe coded software. Especially if it's non-essential.

And I certainly won't ever pay for it.

On the Mac App Store page [1], I can see the settings panel in a screenshot. In General Settings / Onboarding, there is a toggle switch labelled:

"Show onboarding on first launch", with more text underneath

"Show first-run guide after installation"

I have no choice but to conclude that this app was vibe-coded from snout to tail.

I couldn't find an example/screenshot of how the reminder would appear on the screen

First one’s free:

And a few screenshots on the Mac App Store:

There's no screenshot of the free one. And the other screenshots also appear to be AI?? Or does it actually look like that?

Not in the FAQ but immediately at the top of my mind when I looked at the images: What is the provenance of these pets? Are they AI generated?

The repository hasn't been made public yet it seems.
