Cross-App Module Ecosystem
Shared Modules.
Modules that live across every app in the Rusty Suite. Virtual pets, achievements, notes, and donation credits — shared data, local storage, toggle on or off from any app's settings.
The Modules
4 Modules. Every App.

Monthly Activity
How It Works
Activity Tracking
Your gotchi watches how you use the apps. Open count, last activity, streak days.
Gauge Computation
Three gauges (Fullness, Mood, Energy) are computed from your activity metrics.
Mood Derivation
Gauges drive the mood: high energy + high happiness = ecstatic. Low activity = sleepy.
Personality Messages
Each animal has its own voice. The pig oinks, the cat judges you, the dog is just happy you're here.
Cross-App Aggregation
Activity from ALL apps feeds into one gotchi. Your RustyView session boosts your gotchi too.
Cursor Tracking
Your gotchi follows your mouse. Eyes track cursor position for bio-realistic awareness.
Fly Easter Egg
Every once in a while, a pixel fly buzzes across the screen. Your gotchi's eyes will track it.
Draggable Widget
Drag your gotchi anywhere on screen. Position persists between sessions. Minimize when you need space.
Monthly Sparkline
A 12-bar activity chart shows your monthly usage pattern at a glance. Right in the widget.
More Modules Coming
The module ecosystem is growing. Every module follows the same pattern: shared SQLite database, toggle on/off, theme-adaptive UI, zero cloud dependency.
