Does Luna Work on Multiple Monitors? A Complete Guide

3 min read

A common question from power users with big setups: does a desktop pet work on multiple monitors? For Luna, the answer is an emphatic yes. She was designed from the ground up for multi-display workspaces.

One overlay per display

When Luna launches, she creates a transparent, always-on-top overlay window for every monitor connected to your system. This means she has a presence on all your screens simultaneously, not just your primary display. She can trot from your laptop screen to your external 4K monitor and back without missing a beat.

Real-time state synchronization

Because Luna lives across several windows at once, keeping her consistent is essential. She synchronizes her entire state — mood, hunger, energy, accessories, and position — in real time across every display using inter-process communication. Feed her on one monitor and her hunger meter updates everywhere instantly.

Behavior on complex workspaces

Luna plays nicely with the features power users rely on:

  • She glides over macOS Spaces and Mission Control.
  • She floats above Stage Manager groups and full-screen apps.
  • She respects virtual desktops on Windows and Linux.
  • Her click-through overlay never blocks interaction with any screen.

Tips for multi-monitor setups

If you use the "Follow Me" mode, Luna wanders organically toward wherever your cursor is active, so she naturally migrates to the screen you are working on. Prefer her to stay put? Switch to "Sit / Stay" mode and drag her to a favorite spot on any monitor.
