TamaBuddy.

Your Tamagotchi is beeping. We know why.

For anyone raising a real Tamagotchi — or any handheld virtual pet — TamaBuddy is the friendly pocket guide that tells you what your pet needs right now, and keeps the hobby fun with a daily fun fact. Built around the actual device in your hand, not a wiki you have to dig through.

Get early access Free to start. No ads in the care flow.

Your model

Pick your device. Get plain English.

Uni, Original, Connection, Pix — every model has its own rules, and the manual in the box explains almost none of them. Choose yours once and TamaBuddy translates it: feeding and sleep timings, discipline and happiness mechanics, evolution paths, and what to do when something goes sideways.

  • A live dashboard for hunger, happiness and energy between check-ins
  • Care actions and reminders that match your model's real clock
  • A beep troubleshooter — match the sound, get the answer

Every day

One fun fact, straight from 25+ years of history.

Raising a virtual pet shouldn't feel like a chore list. Every day TamaBuddy serves one small piece of Tamagotchi history — the design decisions, the playground rumours, the models that never made it out of Japan. Short, true, and worth reading on the walk to work.

And if your pet dies? We'll tell you what happened and how to get further next time. No guilt trips. Ever.

How it works

Free where it counts. Paid where it goes deep.

The free app covers one saved pet, the care basics, and the daily fun fact — a genuinely useful tool, not a trial. TamaBuddy+ adds unlimited pets, full model-specific care guides, custom reminders, evolution trackers and the complete fact archive.

Everything we publish is checked against manuals, community wikis and hands-on owners before it ships, and logged per model so any claim can be traced back to its source. Wrong advice kills a virtual pet — trust is the product.

Raising one right now?

Tell us which model you own and what keeps confusing you — it decides which guide we write next. Bug reports, corrections and obscure beep recordings all welcome.
