Feature Request: Allow users to completely disable Pets and remove the Pets entry from the sidebar menu
Summary
Please provide an option to completely disable the Pets feature and hide all Pets-related UI.
Problem
The Pets feature is optional, but its entry is currently integrated into the sidebar menu (next to Usage/account actions). Since I frequently check my usage, I often accidentally click Show Pet instead of the item I intended.
This happens surprisingly often because these actions are located in the same menu.
Proposed solution
Please add one or both of the following:
- A Disable Pets setting that completely turns off the feature.
- An option to Hide all Pets-related UI, including removing the "Show Pet" entry from the sidebar menu.
For example:
Settings
Appearance
☑ Enable Pets
When disabled:
- The pet never appears.
- The "Show Pet" menu item is hidden.
- No Pets-related UI is shown anywhere in the application.
Why this would help
- Prevents accidental clicks.
- Reduces UI clutter for users who don't use the feature.
- Makes the application feel more professional for developer-focused workflows.
- Keeps optional, playful features separate from frequently used productivity features.
This would improve the experience for users who simply want a distraction-free development environment.
Thank you for considering this feature.
