CODEX PETS · OPEN-SOURCE PIXEL PETS

A Petdex Alternative — and More

Love Petdex? CliPets includes the full Petdex catalog and adds a custom pet generator, curated picks, fan packs, and one-command installs — in four languages.

Everything Petdex has, plus generation

CliPets mirrors the public Petdex gallery so you can browse and install those pets here — and on top of that, you can generate your own Codex pet from a text description or an image.

What CliPets adds

A custom pet generator, 42 hand-curated pets, themed fan packs, a community gallery of pets other people hatched, social share cards, and a fully multilingual site (English, 中文, 日本語, 한국어).

Same install, your choice of CLI

Install CliPets pets with npx clipets install <pet>. Petdex pets keep their official npx petdex@latest install <slug>. Either way, pets land in ~/.codex/pets/.

Built on the open ecosystem

CliPets is an independent project built on the same open sprite contract as Petdex and codex-pets-react. We credit every source and ask you to respect each pet's stated license.

FAQ

Is CliPets affiliated with Petdex?

No. CliPets is an independent project that mirrors the public Petdex catalog and credits it. It is not endorsed by Petdex.

Can I still install Petdex pets?

Yes — every Petdex pet is browsable here, and you can use the official Petdex CLI to install them.

What does CliPets do that Petdex doesn't?

Generate pets from text or an image, curated and fan-pack collections, social share cards, and a multilingual interface.

Is it free?

Browsing and installing are free. Generating your own pet includes free daily hatches, with an optional paid priority lane.
