GOOD TO KNOW
A few things before you begin.
Does it modify Wallpaper Engine or my wallpapers?
No. Companion is a separate Windows audio app. It does not modify WE or downloaded wallpapers, and wallpaper authors do not need to add special interaction support.
Do I need an AI model?
You can use imported clips and music without AI models. Local GPT-SoVITS generation requires your own environment, compatible weights, reference audio, and exact reference transcript.
Does the download include voices or wallpapers?
Releases do not include wallpapers, character models, or personal audio. Edit dialogue, import your own clips, or generate audio with a configured TTS service.
Is the desktop app translated into English?
This website and its downloadable guides have English versions. The screenshots show the Chinese desktop interface; the English guides explain the corresponding Chinese controls.
Where can I report problems or contribute?
Visit GitHub Issues. The repository also contains source code, extension documentation, and build instructions.
Where can I download detailed instructions?
The Guides section offers the complete manual, quick start, and FAQ as PDFs. Markdown originals and illustrated ZIP bundles are also available.
