what he does

click him. small speech bubble opens. type, get claude's reply.

"what's on my screen?" → he puts on reading glasses and tells you.

connect once. "play hello by adele" actually plays it.
calendar
read upcoming events, schedule new ones.
notes
read recent notes, save new ones.

walks, stretches, naps, hops when you switch apps, floats z's when sleeping.
setup
$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bournechoi4353/ClaudeBuddy/main/install.sh | bash
one-time gatekeeper prompt. after that he just opens.
preferences
rename him. pick a personality — default, snarky, formal, excited, zen. change his color. change his walk speed. all from the menubar preferences window.
privacy
everything runs locally. chats go to anthropic the same way claude code does.
calendar, notes, and spotify access uses apple's standard permission prompts.
no server we control. no telemetry.
