Editor Companion
A little animated pet that lives inside your Unity workspace, reacts to what you are doing, and remembers when you need a task - or a break.

Launch price in USD through September 2, 2026. itch.io handles purchase and download.
Built into your day
More than an idle animation.
Editor Companion follows the real rhythm of a Unity session: working, waiting, fixing, building, and remembering to step away.
Four included companions
Two cats and two dogs ship with independent names, behavior settings, animation preferences, and reaction options.
Three display modes
Keep your companion floating beside Unity, dock it as an Editor window, or place it in the Scene View Overlay.
Useful reminders
Create one-time or repeating reminders for tasks and breaks, then mark them done or snooze them for later.
Custom Pet Wizard
Turn transparent PNG frames into sprite sheets, animations, reactions, bounds, click areas, and configuration files.
Profiles that travel
Keep each companion’s settings separate and import or export profiles between Unity projects.
Make it yours
Your art in. A working companion out.
The included Custom Pet Wizard takes ordinary transparent PNG animation frames and builds the Unity setup around them.
Drop in a folder of frames and the wizard creates the sprite sheets, animation data, reactions, transparency bounds, click areas, and configuration files needed by Editor Companion. There is no coding and no manual JSON editing.
- Transparent PNG animation frames
- Automatic state and file generation
- Ready-to-use sprite sheets and animations
- Included Pico example and tutorial workflow

Questions before you install
Which Unity versions are supported?
Editor Companion supports Unity 2022.3 LTS or newer.
Does it add anything to my finished game?
No. Editor Companion operates entirely inside the Unity Editor. It adds no runtime components or content to player builds.
Can I create my own companion?
Yes. The included Custom Pet Wizard converts transparent PNG animation frames into a ready-to-use companion without code or manual JSON editing. A complete Pico example is included.
Does it work on Windows, macOS, and Linux?
Yes. On Linux, transparent floating mode requires X11 or XWayland. Docked mode and the Scene View Overlay can be used on native Wayland.
What is included in the current download?
The current itch.io download is EditorCompanion 1.0.11 as a 19 MB Unity package, including four companions, the Custom Pet Wizard, profiles, reminders, and the Pico example.
