Build something great for the pet catalog
Have an idea for Spotify, calendar, focus, games, or tiny desktop rituals? Build it in a public GitHub repo, submit it for review, and we can list the safe, packaged version for every OpenPets user.
Build the plugin
Create a manifest, one JavaScript entry file, locales, and any bundled assets.
Tag a release
Publish a GitHub tag or commit so reviewers can pin the exact source.
Get listed safely
OpenPets reviews permissions, hosts, assets, and packaging before it appears in the catalog.
Built for safety and privacy
Sandboxed JavaScript
Plugins run in an isolated JavaScript renderer. They cannot access your file system or coding-agent context.
Explicit permissions
Every plugin must declare exactly what it needs: schedule timers, make the pet speak, or access specific approved HTTPS hosts.
Host-rendered config
Plugin configuration is rendered safely by the host app. GitHub Notifications only work with public repositories - no logins or tokens required.
