Three moments for a little personality.
Ideas for your cooking app. Connect each reaction to the moment it belongs to.
A step checked off
Use a small nod between steps. Do not move the instructions or ingredient quantities when the character reacts.
The meal is ready
Celebrate the finished attempt on the recipe completion screen, with room to save notes or a photo.
SMALL CHARACTER. THOUGHTFUL DETAILS.
Make it feel at home.
Choose warm expressions and gestures that read from a phone on the kitchen counter. Keep movement out of the way of measurements, timers, and preparation instructions.
Explore mascot animation →AN ANIMATION PROMPT TO TRY
The mascot looks proudly at a finished dish, makes one delighted little clap, then returns to a friendly resting pose. Keep the full character visible and the camera still.
Use this with your character in Studio. Review the result before adding it to your app.
FROM IDEA TO APP
Create it. Animate it. Put it to work.
Give it a personality
Adapt the brief below to your app, or upload your existing mascot in Studio.
Make a first reaction
Start with one useful animation, such as a recipe chosen. Check the character’s movement against your actual interface.
Connect it to your app
Export the assets and use your app’s events to control playback. Keep a still option for reduced motion.

Start with a brief.Make it your own.
This is the starting idea behind Rosa. Edit it for your product, then take it into Masko Studio.
THE LITTLE DETAILS
A few questions.
we were hoping you’d ask.
Where does an animated mascot fit in a recipe app?
Recipe discovery and completion screens are good starting points. During cooking, keep the character small or still so instructions and timers remain easy to read at a glance.
Can I animate a mascot I already have?
Yes. Upload your own character in Masko Studio, then create animations from it. You can also start with a description to create a new mascot for your app.
How do I put the mascot into my app?
Create the character and animations in Masko, then export the assets for your app or website. Your app controls when each animation plays. Developers can also use the Masko API to create and manage assets.
Read the developer documentationIs this a real customer app?
Good Enough Cook is a fictional app built to demonstrate an original Masko character. The preview is a design example, not a customer testimonial or a claim about retention.
