Sidekin

Your pet, always with you.

Photograph your animal and it becomes a little 3D companion that lives on your phone. Feed it, clean it, play with it — and what you feed it decides what it grows into.

How it works

Three things, done properly.

Your photo never leaves your phone

Recognition and segmentation run entirely on the device. No photo is uploaded, to us or to anyone else — there is no server that could receive one. That is a design decision, not a setting you have to find.

Real 3D creatures, not pictures of them

Every kin is a rigged, animated 3D model — it breathes, looks around, and turns when you drag it. Each one is built from hand-drawn source art and checked by an automatic quality gate before it ships.

A rigged creature model

It never dies, and it never nags

Needs drift down to a floor and stop there. Away for two days or two years, it costs the same. No streaks, no guilt notifications, no timers designed to pull you back.

The roster

Many creatures to raise.

Cats, dogs, birds, fish, insects, dinosaurs and a few things that only exist here. Each one is its own 3D model with its own way of moving.
