Mate-Engine
A free Desktop Mate alternative with a lightweight interface and custom VRM support, though with fewer features.
Mate Engine
Mate Engine is a free alternative to the app Desktop Mate. This project exists because of the high price of Desktop Mate models, which range from $10 to $25 USD. Considering that full games are available at these prices on Steam and other platforms, paying $20 to $25 USD for a simple idle model feels unfair to many users.
Another reason for developing Mate Engine is that Desktop Mate removed mod support, making it difficult to add custom VRM models.
Now, with Mate Engine, you get most of what Desktop Mate offers for free, including support for custom VRM models!
Features
- Idle Animations – The avatar will play looping idle animations while staying on your desktop.
- Drag Animation – The avatar will float when you move it around.
- Dance Animation (Experimental) – The avatar will dance when you play music on Spotify, Mozilla Firefox, and other apps.
- Inject Mode – You can inject your own custom model as long as it's a .VRM model that is correctly rigged and has valid bone names.
- Options Menu – Click on the avatar and press
Mto open the Mate Engine options menu.
Known Issues & Missing Features
- Re-injecting Custom Models – Each time you launch Mate Engine, you need to re-inject your own model.
- No Window or Taskbar Sitting – This feature is disabled due to the risk of getting banned in games like CS2, CSGO, League of Legends, and others. If a safe workaround is found, it will be implemented in the future.
I Need Your Help! 🛠️
If you have experience with C# or Unity animations, I would appreciate any help!
- I am not a C# expert, so any pull requests or contributions are welcome.
- If you're skilled in Unity animations, I need help creating dragging, dancing, and idle animations. I prefer to keep Mate Engine free, so I won’t be hiring paid artists—this is a community-driven project!
If you’re interested in helping, feel free to contribute! 🚀
Virus Detection Warning ⚠️
If Windows Defender detects a potential virus named Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B1ml, you can ignore it. This is a false positive caused by the application not being digitally signed.
To verify that the application is safe, you can scan it using VirusTotal or other security services.
Final Words ✨
I hope you enjoy Mate Engine! Thank you for supporting this project! ❤️
