Real needs that evolve throughout the day — hunger, happiness, cleanliness and sleep. Neglect it, and your Pex will let you know.

### Home Screen widgets

Keep your Pex visible all day with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and glanceable Dynamic Island moments.

Bring your Pex to your wrist as a watch face, so your companion is with you wherever you go.

Idle, eating, sleeping, cleaning, playing and running — every Pex reacts to how you take care of it.

### Cloud backup

With Cloud Backup on, your Pex and its progress are saved to iCloud on Apple devices or to Google Drive on Android, so you never lose the companion you've grown to love.
