Work with buddies
like teammates

Make one for each window you care about. Give it a name and a color, ask it things, hand it work.

It checks in when your OK is needed, and nothing leaves your Mac that you didn't ask for.

Everything you'd want in a helper

Each buddy lives on one window. Add another when the work grows, and they help each other.

🧲 Attach

  1. 1Press ⌃⌥B for a new buddy
  2. 2Drag it to a window’s edge
  3. 3It moves, hides and comes back with the window

  2. 2Wren asks Echo (Mail) and Rue (Sheets)
  3. 3Wren adds it up and saves it

Yours, on your Mac

A Mac app, not a cloud service. It thinks with Claude through your own account.

💻

Stays on your Mac

Chats, memories, lists and jobs live on your disk. No Buddy server holds your data.

✋

Asks before it acts

It sees only the window it's on, and waits for your OK before it sends, pays or deletes.

🔑

Secrets in your Keychain

Keys and passwords go straight into the macOS Keychain, never into the chat.
