About

What it isAniMate Waifu is a desktop companion app for Windows and macOS. It puts a 3D anime character on top of your desktop as a transparent, always-on-top overlay that can be set click-through, so it never blocks your windows.The idea behind it is that the character should be yours. The app imports VRM 0.x and VRM 1.0 model files, including exports from VRoid Studio, so a character you built, commissioned or downloaded can live on your desktop instead of only inside a story. PMX and FBX files need converting to VRM first.What is built today- A free tier with built-in characters, no account required- Import your own VRM avatar, plus VRMA dances, motions and stages — one-time US$9.90 unlock, no subscription- Desktop interaction: cursor tracking, reactions to touch, drag and resize, idle motion- Movement that follows whatever the user is playing- A Workshop for managing characters, motions, dances and stages, with 3D previews- Text and voice conversation with a persona and TTS voice configured per character. Chat history stays on the device; chat requires an internet connectionDistributionDistributed through the Microsoft Store and direct download. Built and maintained by an independent developer. The app itself is closed source; the GitHub repository is the official home for bug reports, feature requests and release notes.StatusNot raising, and not actively looking to sell the project — happy to talk to makers working on VRM or desktop companions.
