Bloblings: virtual pets for Claude Code sessions

A free Mac app adds virtual pets to Claude Code sessions, and its developer explained how to run the demo and update to version 1.0.28.

✨ What the app is

Bloblings adds virtual pets to Claude Code sessions. Claude Code is a tool where programmers write and change code together with AI. The app works on Mac computers, and its author is a video editor who made a fun video about it.

📌 How to run the demo

The demo opens a separate chat for each team member with its task already typed in but not sent. You need to press Return in each chat. The first time, Claude may ask you to trust the new "Bloblings Demo" folder. If you skip this step and click the demo again, a new team is created instead of opening the waiting one.

The developer says the next update will make a repeated click reopen the waiting demo. The demo does not need the Fable model, as one commenter had asked. Bloblings does not pick a model itself; the chats open with whichever model your Claude app uses by default.

🔹 How to update

Version 1.0.28 with the fix is available at bloblings.app. To get it, open the Bloblings menu and choose "What's New" or "Check for Updates…". If the demo still gets stuck, the developer asks users to report which step it happens on.
