About This Game

She doesn’t just sit there. Her expressions and movements change with what you do. See how she reacts throughout your day.

Detailed Description

Spend Every Day on Your PC Together.

Desktop Muse is more than just a character on your desktop.
She notices what you're doing and responds to your daily PC activities with different animations. She can also understand what you say, check your schedule, and help with supported everyday computer tasks.
A desktop companion that's truly there with you while you use your PC.

Alive on Your Desktop

Desktop Muse currently features more than 50 animations, with multiple variations for certain situations.

Ren responds in her own way depending on what you're doing. For example:

When you play a game, she gets into gaming mode too.

When you watch a video, she'll stay by your side and watch along.

When a download finishes, she'll let you know right away.

If you have unread messages, she'll remind you not to forget about them.

You don't need to constantly interact with her.

Just use your PC as usual, and you'll gradually discover more sides of her.

She Understands What You Want to Do

After connecting a supported desktop AI tool, you can communicate directly with Ren through text or voice.

She can check your Google Calendar and remind you about upcoming events, look up the weather, help draft messages, play music, and perform supported computer actions.

*You can connect Google Calendar from Settings. Right-click the Desktop Muse icon in the system tray and select Settings. On the Settings page, select Calendar, then choose the Google account you want to connect.

PC control features such as opening and moving windows have also been made more stable. When you launch a Steam game, Ren will also enter the corresponding Game Mode.

Currently supported:

OpenAI Codex / Anthropic Claude Code / Doubao / DeepSeek

*Because the Agent features of Doubao and DeepSeek are not yet fully available, Ren may behave inconsistently when connected to either service. These features are still being actively improved, and there is plenty of room for further refinement. We’ll continue improving their stability and usefulness based on real-world usage.

Desktop Muse will continue to add more animations, interactions, and useful Companion features.

Not just staying on your desktop.
Using your PC together with you.
Desktop Muse — Your Desktop Companion

AI Companion Setup

  • Install and sign in to a supported desktop AI tool, such as OpenAI Codex, Anthropic Claude Code, Doubao, or DeepSeek.

  • Launch Desktop Muse.

  • Go to Settings → Advanced → Voice Assistant and turn it on.

  • You can type to Ren, or press Ctrl + Alt + Space / click the microphone button next to the character to use voice input.

  • To let Ren perform supported computer actions, enable Local Desktop Control.

  • Voice output uses Windows TTS by default. To use ElevenLabs or OpenAI TTS, enter your own API Key and configure the corresponding voice settings.
