## About

Emmy Sidekick adds a floating notch to the right side of the Mac screen for quick breaks and everyday utilities. A virtual companion offers reminders for walks, playtime, food, water, and potty breaks, with care history, animations, treats, and configurable reminder intervals.

The notch also includes bite-size lessons in languages and programming, six retro-style games in resizable windows, a focus timer, sleep timer, volume wheel, live camera preview, and system information. Widgets can be selected and vertically positioned, with launch at login and game sound controls available.
