Show HN: Pet Reminder – A macOS reminder app with a desktop pet
reminder.w3cub.comSo, on the one hand, I want everyone to be able to vibe code all the software they always wish existed and be able to use it and enjoy it.
But, on the other hand, I don't ever want to use anyone else's vibe coded software. Especially if it's non-essential.
And I certainly won't ever pay for it.
I couldn't find an example/screenshot of how the reminder would appear on the screen
Nor, alas, the pets!
First one’s free:
https://reminder.w3cub.com/guide/pets.html
And a few screenshots on the Mac App Store:
There's no screenshot of the free one. And the other screenshots also appear to be AI?? Or does it actually look like that?
That whole app looks vibe-coded. Look at the settings page in the App Store screenshot.

github link seems to be broken: https://github.com/petreminder/reminder
The repository hasn't been made public yet it seems.
On the Mac App Store page [1], I can see the settings panel in a screenshot. In General Settings / Onboarding, there is a toggle switch labelled:
"Show onboarding on first launch", with more text underneath
"Show first-run guide after installation"
I have no choice but to conclude that this app was vibe-coded from snout to tail.
I have seen this AI corgi in a million places. It's like the em-dash of AI animals
Not in the FAQ but immediately at the top of my mind when I looked at the images: What is the provenance of these pets? Are they AI generated?
