Features

Small pet, serious skills

A desktop companion built to work alongside you — cute, capable, and private by design.

  • A pet that goes anywhere

    Transparent and always-on-top. Drag it to any corner; it lives in your tray, one click away.

  • One config, every model

    Switch freely between DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, Doubao, OpenAI, Gemini, Claude — or a custom endpoint.

  • Streaming chat bubbles

    Replies stream in word by word, right above your pet — like it is really talking to you.

  • Keys encrypted on-device

    Your API keys are sealed with OS-level encryption (safeStorage) and never leave your machine.

  • Give it a personality

    Define its character and tone with a single system prompt. Raise a companion that is truly yours.

  • Original character animation

    The original character responds with subtle idle, thinking and talking motion states.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions? Reach us by email.

Does using Caladan Pal cost money?

Caladan Pal connects to your own model accounts: you bring your own API key and pay your chosen provider directly at its rates. Whether and how much you spend depends on the models and usage you choose.

Are my API keys safe?

Keys stay on your computer and are encrypted through your operating system’s secure storage using Electron safeStorage. They are never uploaded to us, though you should protect your computer and revoke any key you believe has been exposed.

Which operating systems are supported?

Caladan Pal supports Windows 10 or later and macOS 11 or later.

Which model providers are supported?

Supported providers include DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi/Moonshot, Zhipu GLM, Doubao/Volcano Engine Ark, SiliconFlow, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude.

Does Caladan Pal need internet access? Does it support local models?

The currently supported providers require internet access because messages are sent directly from your computer to their APIs; checking and downloading updates also requires a connection. The current provider list does not include fully offline local models.
