A coding step counter for the AI era
Monitor your AI coding tool activity, turn it into step counts, and drive a desktop pet to walk.

AIbubu is a desktop pet app that monitors your usage of AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Trae, and quantifies your "coding activity" into steps — the more active you are, the faster your pet runs. 
- Idle — you're slacking off
- Walk — you're coding at a gentle pace
- Run — you and AI are in great sync
- Sprint — you're on fire
| Idle | Walk | Run | Sprint |
|---|---|---|---|
