Kumagotchi is a Bear widget that shows a pixel polar bear on your Home Screen with 2 sizes (small and medium) available. What the polar bear does depends on how you use Bear.

## How it works
The polar bear changes what it's doing based on your recent activity in Bear.

* **Write:** when you've edited a note in the last 15 minutes, the polar bear writes along with you and looks up the sky now and then.
* **Sky gazing:** when you're reading in Bear without editing, the polar bear sits in the grass and watches the sky.
* **Walk and sit:** when Bear is open but you haven't edited anything in the last hour, the polar bear walks for a few seconds, sits down and looks up at the sky now and then
* **Sleep:** when you haven't done anything in Bear for 6 hours, the polar bear takes a nap in the grass

### Age and weight

The polar bear grows as you use Bear. The medium widget shows its age in days and its weight in notes in the top right corner.
