Your tiny Koya coding companion for VS Code
Koya is a cute, interactive BTS/ARMY-themed coding pet that lives directly inside your VS Code Explorer sidebar.
Koya doesn't just sit there — he walks, sleeps, reacts to coding errors, celebrates when you save your work, and helps you stay focused with a built-in 25-minute Pomodoro timer.
Perfect for BTS fans, ARMY, or anyone who wants a little companion while coding.

What Koya Does
Walks Around
Koya slowly walks from left to right across his little space in the Explorer sidebar, then turns around and walks back.
He stays small and close to the bottom so he doesn't get in the way of your code.
Sleeps
Sometimes Koya gets sleepy and takes a little nap.
Let him rest while you work.
Reacts to Errors
When VS Code detects coding errors, Koya becomes worried.
Fix your code and Koya can return to his happy state.
Celebrates When You Save
Press:
⌘ S / Ctrl + S
and Koya celebrates your progress with a little "Yay!" reaction.
25-Minute Pomodoro
Start a 25-minute focus session directly from VS Code.
Koya stays with you while you work and shows a live countdown.
When your focus session is complete, Koya celebrates with you.
Starry Night
Koya lives inside a small starry-night environment in the VS Code Explorer sidebar.
The background expands with the pet panel while Koya stays small at the bottom.
BTS / ARMY-Themed
Koya includes BTS/ARMY-inspired messages and reactions throughout the experience.
It's designed to make coding feel a little more fun and personal for fans.
