Mate Engine

Want a desktop companion character but find similar software too heavy? Mate Engine is a lightweight option—a free desktop buddy that places a VRM-model virtual character on your desktop, dancing to the music you play with its head following the mouse. Animation timing, always-on-top, mouse-following and size are all adjustable. As a free Desktop Mate alternative, it's smaller and easier to pick up.
