A desk-wellness companion

A little light for your workday.

A tiny companion lives on your screen and looks after you: water, stretches, eye rests and calm moments, asked kindly.

Free while in beta · Windows 10 and 11

Hi! I'm Hoodie Cat.
Choose yours

Who do you want beside you all day?

Every companion takes the same good care of you. They just do it in their own way.

Moves: strolls

The gentle nudger

Best at: reminding you to rest

"Long day? Let's stretch, then you can get back to it."

It looks after you

Little nudges, at the right moments

Your companion strolls along the taskbar and asks kindly when it is time. Done, Later or Skip: you always decide.

Talk to it

Not a chatbot. Your companion.

Ask for help the way you would ask a friend. It answers in its own voice, and it can start things for you.

A day together

From the first coffee to the last email

Lumling fits around your day instead of interrupting it.

9:00

Good morning

A friendly hello when you start your computer, and a fortune cookie to open once a day.

10:00

Deep focus

Start a focus session from the right-click menu. Your companion keeps time, then sends you on a break. Need something simpler? A plain timer or a quick reminder.

12:30

On a call

Presenting, gaming, on a call or sharing your screen? Your companion steps aside and comes back after.

15:00

The afternoon slump

Time to stand, stretch and rest your eyes. Water keeps counting toward today's goal.

16:30

A rough moment

Calm practices, right beside your companion.

Your day at a glance

Water, stretches, eye rests and your streak, with the last seven days beside them.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The beta is free while we collect feedback. Any paid plans later will be optional.

Do the companions behave differently?

They all give the same reminders and tools. Each one looks and moves in its own way, so pick the one you would like to see all day. You can switch any time.

Will it get in my way?

No. It waits while you are away, hides for fullscreen apps and calls, and every reminder can be snoozed or skipped.

Does it send my data anywhere?

Your wellness data stays on your computer and there is no account. Lumling sends crash reports with personal details removed and, only if you say yes, one anonymous summary a day. The privacy policy has the details.

Do I need an AI account?

No. Reminders, focus sessions, timers and calm practices all work without one. Chat is optional and, in the beta, uses an AI account you connect yourself.

Is there a Mac version?

Not yet. Lumling is Windows only for now. A Mac version is planned after the Windows beta.

How do I quit it?

Right-click the Lumling icon in the system tray and choose Quit.
