Brevio
Desktop companion · Mac & Windows

A little friend that feels with you.

Brevio sits quietly at the edge of your screen. It hops when it's happy, rolls away when it's sad, and pops up when a notification arrives, it's time for a break or you plug in your charger.

A quick hop and a ringing bell when an app gets a new message badge (Mac).

☕

Breaks

Stretches up and reminds you to stand, move and drink some water.

Charging

Glows when you plug in, cheers when it's full and rolls sadly when the battery is low.

Away & back

Falls asleep when you step away and jumps for joy when you're back.

FAQ

Questions

Is Brevio free?

Yes. Brevio is completely free. If it makes you smile, you can support it.

Which companions are there?

Three glossy bubble buddies (Sky, Mint and Lilac), a cat, a dog, a sloth, Boo the see-through ghost and Puffy the fluffy cloud. Change it from the menu bar icon or Settings.

How does it know about notifications?

On Mac, Brevio notices when an app's Dock badge goes up (for example a new WhatsApp message or email). It never reads the message itself, and nothing leaves your computer. On Windows it reacts to its own reminders.

Will it get in my way?

No. Clicks pass straight through everywhere except the companion. Drag it anywhere, or hide it from the menu.

Does it use a lot of battery?

No. Brevio 2 is drawn with simple shapes instead of a 3D engine, so it's light on battery and memory.

How do I update?

Click the menu bar (or tray) icon → Check for Updates…. Brevio downloads the new version, installs it and restarts. It also checks automatically about once a day.

How do I uninstall?

Mac: quit from the menu and drag Brevio from Applications to the Trash. Windows: Settings → Apps → Brevio → Uninstall.
