About Your Friend's Mom
Your Friend's Mom places a 3‑D character on your Windows desktop, letting you chat with a locally stored language model that role‑plays as your friend’s mom, with context drawn from a Steam friend. The companion can be moved, resized, and visually customized while you work or play.
The app includes mouse‑tracking animation, three outfits, sixteen poses, and seven emotions, and it integrates Steam achievements and Workshop support for optional goals and community content.
01 / THE GUIDE
Desktop Companion Basics
When launched, a 3‑D model appears on the screen and stays visible until you close the program. The description notes that the model can be placed anywhere on the desktop, allowing it to coexist with other windows.
You can drag the model to a preferred location and use the provided controls to scale it up or down, which lets you fit the companion into your workspace without obscuring important UI elements.
- Try positioning the model in a corner to keep it out of the way while staying visible.
- Adjust the scale so the companion matches the size of other desktop icons.

Customization Options
Three distinct outfits are available, letting you change the companion’s visual style at any time. The outfits are listed as unique, indicating they differ in appearance.
Sixteen poses and seven emotions can also be switched through the interface, providing visual variety without affecting the conversation mechanics.
- Select an outfit that contrasts with your desktop background for better visibility.
- Experiment with different emotions to see which best matches the tone of your chat.

Interaction Features
The model follows the mouse cursor, turning its head or body in response to movement. This mouse‑tracking behavior is described as a reaction to cursor activity.
A clean chat GUI provides a dedicated area for typing and reading responses, and the move & scale controls let you adjust the companion without leaving the chat window.
- Use mouse tracking to keep the companion visually engaged while you type.
- Resize the model when you need more screen space for other applications.
04 / THE GUIDE
Steam Friend Context
On launch, the app randomly picks one of your Steam friends to set the conversation context, giving the AI a personal reference point drawn from your friend list.
You can switch to a different friend within the chat window, which changes the AI’s contextual references without requiring external data.
- Switch friends if the initial context feels unrelated to your current mood.
- Observe how the AI’s references shift when you select a new friend.

Achievements & Workshop
The title includes Steam achievements, offering optional goals that can be earned while using the companion. The specific criteria are defined by Steam, not by the in‑game description.
Steam Workshop support allows community‑created content to be added to the experience.
- Check the Steam achievement list to see which milestones are tracked.
- Browse the Workshop to see what community content is available.
