Working
A session is busy. His screen says so, and you can leave it alone.
Needs your permission
A session is waiting on you to approve something. He lets you know.
Done
A session finished. No more checking every window to find out.
Sound familiar?
To err is human. To multitask is superhuman.
The coffee that cost you twenty minutes
You kick off a big change and step away for a coffee. Claude finishes in four minutes, or stops to ask permission, and the session sits there waiting while you chat by the espresso machine.
With Buddy: he hops and says it out loud the moment a session finishes or needs a yes, so the work never waits on your coffee.
The command in the wrong window
Seven sessions, one tired brain. You type the next instruction into the session for a different project, and that change bleeds into code it was never meant for.
With Buddy: his screen tells you which project is talking, and one click takes you to the session that actually needs you, so your next command lands where you meant it.

Watch him work · 2 minutes
Seven sessions, one little guy.
What he does
He keeps an eye on your sessions so you don’t have to.
Session alerts on his screen
Buddy watches your Claude Code sessions through the hooks he installs, and his little screen shows what's happening: working, needs your permission, or done.
Click to jump
When a session needs you, click Buddy. He brings that session to the front, so you skip the hunt through terminal tabs and windows.
Hand off an idea
Dictate an idea while it's fresh and hand it to a session. You keep working on what you were doing.
Headphones and music
Double-click and he puts his headphones on and plays or pauses your music.

What does Buddy need to run?
A Mac on macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, and Claude Code installed. After you open him, choose Install Claude Code Hooks from his menu so your sessions show up on his screen. The natural voice is optional and runs on Apple Silicon Macs; without it, he uses the voices built into macOS.
Is Buddy an official Claude Code app?
No. Buddy is an independent app made by Spokane Biz Doctors. He works with Claude Code, but he isn't made, endorsed or supported by Anthropic. Questions about Buddy come to us.
Does Buddy send my data anywhere?
No. Buddy runs on your Mac. There's no account and no tracking in the app, and your license is checked on your Mac without calling home. The only things that leave your Mac are the Claude Code requests you make yourself, such as an idea you hand off to a session.
Why isn't Buddy in the App Store?
He's sold directly as a download. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it like any App Store app.
How do I get updates?
