Turn a dog or cat photo into a pixel buddy on your lock screen and Dynamic Island. Keep a few and send whichever one you want.
Pixel Buddy turns a photo of your dog or cat into a small retro pixel buddy on your Dynamic Island and lock screen. It's a quiet way to keep your pet nearby without opening an app every time.
Use a photo from your library or pick a ready-made sprite. Everything stays on this phone. No account and nothing uploaded to our servers.
Send a buddy to the Dynamic Island for a Live Activity that runs about eight hours. When it ends, open the app and send them again. They show on the lock screen too.
You can keep more than one buddy, rename them, and swap who sits on the Island today.
• Dog or cat photo to pixel sprite on this device
• Scan your library or browse to pick a photo
• Multiple buddies with rename and swap
• Retro look built for Dynamic Island and lock screen
• Requires iPhone with Dynamic Island
