We Need to Make FigPals a Permanent Feature! Sign the Petition! 🐾

Alright, guys FigPals were the best (and weirdest) thing to come out of April Fools’ this year. They follow your cursor, help you design, and love you unconditionally… maybe too much. 👀

But here’s the problem—they’re only available for April Fun Week! 😭

We can’t let this be just a one-time joke. FigPals deserve to be a permanent feature (with a toggle for those who don’t want constant companionship). That’s why I made a Change.org petition to show Figma how much we want to keep them!

Let’s make sure our tiny, slightly obsessive design assistants don’t get deleted forever. #KeepFigPals 🩷🐾

i wish i had the skills to turn this into a plugin 😭

I don't think you can do that even if you had the skills to do so, because although I still have only a few months of figma experience at this point, I have yet to see a single plugin that isn’t confined by a pop-up window.

That being said if you could make said pop-up window have no borders, no close button, a completely transparent background AND make the window follow your mouse cursor, THEN you might be able to reimplement pals by simply rendering the pals inside of an invisible pop-up window.

But I don't believe plugins currently allow for that level of freedom

I take that back I just saw this:

With some alterations that could totally bring FigPals back.
Still need to find the time to try making plugins myself though

I already miss my Figpal.

These charming little characters have brought a surprising amount of joy and lightness to my daily work.

In the middle of long hours of design, deadlines, and focus, seeing them pop up feels like a small reminder that creativity can be playful too. It’s such a simple thing, but it makes a real difference. They add personality and warmth in a space that’s often so focused on efficiency and structure.

I’d really love for you to consider keeping them around. It's little touches like this that remind us there's a human side to the work we do.

Is there a way to turn FigPal on/off in Settings? I find it distracting in the toolbar, and while it was fun for a little while, I’d rather have the ability to show/hide it rather than it always be there.
