Pixie 0.17 lets your pet film itself for Reels, TikTok and Shorts, and rebuilds the settings window from scratch so everything is one click away.
New
- Record a clip. ⚙ → "Record clip", or type /clip in the chat. Pixie records itself as a vertical 9:16 video with your voice: talk and your pet talks along, its own sounds, dances and @ character switches end up in the video too. Up to three minutes, in 1080p or 720p, on a Dark, Paper or Green screen background. The file is saved to Videos / Pixie and the folder opens when you stop. Your camera image is never recorded — only the pet and your voice. While recording, the mouth follows your voice even if lip sync is off, and the chat shows a running timer. It works with Bluetooth headsets too, and your voice is levelled automatically: quiet microphones come up, loud ones don't crackle.
- A brand-new settings screen. Your character sits at the top: flip through characters with the arrows and pick a theme from the colour swatches. Below, one-click tiles for Camera, Lip sync, Pet sounds, Gestures, Hand games, Sound reaction, Stream and Record clip; the arrow on each tile opens its details. The window frame now takes its colour from your character's theme.
- Quick actions in the chat. Dance, Sleep, Walk and Faces sit right above the message box, and the chat header now shows your pet's face with its current character and theme.
Improvements
- Recording you can trust. If a recording ever stops on its own, the chat says why and keeps everything recorded up to that point. If the microphone can't start, it tells you what to do (for example, where to allow microphone access in Windows). Quitting Pixie mid-recording finishes the video first, so the file still plays.
- Clearer privacy notes. The settings and the guide (?) now spell out that lip sync only measures your voice and never records it; audio is recorded only when you start a clip, and the file stays on your computer.
