What it does

• Lives on your desktop — a transparent, always-on-top overlay that stays click-through until you hover a slime
• Typing feeds it — keystrokes are counted, never read. Typing earns jelly to spend
• 60+ species — gacha pulls, rarity tiers, daily/weekly bonuses, a dex to fill
• Breeding — cross species into one-of-a-kind hybrids born as babies (pacifier included)
• Personalities — 16 psych types; slimes perch on your window tops, nap on cushions, hide in boxes, dangle from your cursor
• Decorate — furniture props you can place and drag: bowls, cushions, plants, speakers, mirrors
• Photo mode — pose and snap shots into the album
• Pomodoro — optional focus/break timer the slime runs with you
• Weather — optional ambient weather on the ranch
• Interact — drag, throw, tickle, pet, toss treats (right-click the cookie to pick the snack)

Privacy

• Keystrokes are counted, never read — no content ever leaves the key counter
• No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics
• Purchases are server-verified Ed25519-signed grants bound to your anonymous install ID (JP…) — no email required

Build from source

npm ci
npm run tauri build -- --bundles nsis   # Windows
npm run tauri build -- --bundles app    # macOS — see MACBUILD.md

Requires Node + Rust. Windows builds happen on Windows (see the C:\build staging dance in repo notes); macOS builds on any Mac or via the CI workflow.

Layout

src/            pixel-art frontend — one big canvas app (main.js)
src-tauri/      Rust backend — overlay window, click-through poll,
              global hooks, save files, signed grant verify
server/         Cloudflare worker — redeem/claim/grant API, KV store
site/           jellypal.fun — marketing page + hosted downloads
.github/        CI — cargo check + tests on windows & macos, dmg bundle

Save data

%APPDATA%\com.jellypal.desktop\ — state.json (collection, jelly, props), photos/ (photo mode shots), clickdbg.json / crash.log (diagnostics). Settings → RESET → SURE? wipes it all.
