Start with a single consented photo, add a name, a species, and a personality, and watch your new companion settle into their little home. Mongchi is built around small, repeatable rituals — a quiet space to check in on, not a busy dashboard.

What you can do together:
- Photo to pixel friend — one photo becomes a hand-styled pixel companion who greets you the moment they move in.
- Garden care — feed, play, and rest with simple daily actions, and watch weather-aware reactions change the mood of the garden.
- Walks and discoveries — send your companion out for a walk and collect small finds along the way, each one added to their story.
- Chat, clearly labeled — say a quick hello for free, or use credits or a day pass for longer conversations. Every reply is clearly marked as AI-generated, never your real pet's thoughts.
- Memories that add up — a growing album of little moments, a note on how your companion has been lately, and a one-month letter waiting after your first month together.
- Themes — unlock garden backdrops, from a fairy garden to a seaside cove, to change the whole mood of your companion's home.

Privacy is part of the everyday flow, not an afterthought. Your photo is used only to generate your companion's look, then cleaned up on our servers right after — the original stays under your control and can be deleted anytime. Mongchi never stores your location; a rough location is used once, only to look up real local weather for your garden.

Mongchi is a calm pet-life space for people who want one small companion to look after — not a social feed, a leaderboard, or an ad network.

If you grew up with a tamagotchi-style digital pet, or you're hoping to adopt a cute virtual puppy or kitten you can check in on from a home-screen widget, Mongchi's pixel garden was built for exactly that kind of small, daily companionship. ## Rankings - #2,669,631 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.defineyou.mongchi.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [MyPet – Virtual Pet Companion](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.in5km.mypet) — 57 users - [PoketPet- Always With Your Pet](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.eveai.poketpet) — 19,995 users - [Pixel Pet: Virtual Friend](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.aixdev.pixelpet) — 116 users - [희희호호](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.heeheehoho.app) — 3 users - [Pixel Pets Garden](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pixelpets.pixel_pets_garden) — 168 users - [Paw Beside: Pets](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pawbeside.app) — 9 users - [Pellow](https://chrome-stats.com/d/io.nskit.pellow) — 9 users - [PingPaw: AI Virtual Pet](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pingpaw.app) — 1,107 users - [PawPals](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hackathon35.group14) — 1,872 users - [Pixel Petverse](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.chejarla.pixelpetverse) — 319 users - [SnapPals: AI Pet Adventure](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.isekaifish.snappals) — 938 users - [Petpic: AI Photo & Video](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.yk.petpic) — 59 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.defineyou.mongchi)
