Kkoma (Korean: 꼬마, "little one") is a desktop companion inspired by the tradition of Ukagaka, reimagined for the modern workspace.
Cute characters that lives on your desktop
Speech bubbles showing status, thoughts, and messages
Emotions that reflect activity
Agent integration with tools: Claude Code
Kkoma is more than just a mascot. It's a shell that makes your ghost (your AI agents) visible, personable, and playful — turning background processes into companions you can see, feel, and interact with.
