Buddi - Your Claude Code companion, living in the notch.

Anthropic removed /buddy from Claude Code after a week. Buddi keeps your buddy alive — in the MacBook notch. Your buddy animates based on what Claude is doing: working, reading, sleeping, erroring out. 18 species, rarity tiers from common to legendary, unique eyes and hats. Monitor multiple Claude Code sessions, approve permissions from the notch, chat with full history. Also works as a notch utility with music, calendar, battery, and file shelf. Native Swift. Free. Open source.
