Buddy
A desktop companion that remembers what matters, listens when typing's too much, and keeps your ideas somewhere real.
Built by one developer at Hack Club, in the open on GitHub.
No streaks to keep and no notifications begging for attention — just a companion that's there when you open it.
A calm chat window, real message history, and a Library for things worth keeping. No demo trickery — this is the app.
Try it yourself in the browser →Save a preference, a project, a fact — so the next conversation doesn't start from zero.
Use your mic. Buddy listens, replies, and can read the answer back out loud.
Every saved chat and answer lives in your Library, easy to find again later.

Buddy isn't backed by a company. It's built by one developer, with most of the profit meant to go to charity.

The developer
I design the desktop app, the conversation experience, and the small details that make Buddy feel like a companion instead of another dashboard.
This is a hands-on project, growing one release at a time.

Most profit is meant for The Akshaya Patra Foundation and Hack Club. The rest covers model costs and building the next release.
One place we give
Buddy's giving goal includes The Akshaya Patra Foundation, which works to reduce classroom hunger through school meal programs.
