SoftBuddy is a pixel companion that lives on your iPhone. Pair it with your Mac over Bluetooth and watch Claude Code's progress, waits, prompts and wins turn into glanceable little gestures.
SoftBuddy doesn't ping. It doesn't steal focus. It's just a small character on your desk that breathes, blinks, and shakes when Claude needs your approval.
Pairs with your Mac over low-energy Bluetooth. Wakes when Claude Code is active, dozes the rest of the time.
Idle, Busy, Needs You, Done, Whoa, Thanks, Asleep — each with its own breathing, blink, shake and confetti.
When Claude needs you to approve a Bash command or file write, SoftBuddy hops, waves, and gives your phone a single tap.
Tests green, build successful, long task done — a tiny confetti burst. Small celebrations are still celebrations.
Last 200 events, token usage, and daily activity rollups. A lightweight, local-only journal.
Full portrait and landscape support, Dynamic Island status, and adjustable density.
Once you grant Bluetooth permission, SoftBuddy starts advertising and the chest LED begins to breathe.
Our small helper runs locally on your Mac and scans for nearby Buddies as a BLE Central.
That's it. From now on, SoftBuddy will reconnect automatically whenever both devices are nearby.
Every mood maps to a real event in Claude Code. We didn't invent emotions — we just translated things that already happen into a little robot's body language.
Connected and waiting for your next prompt. Gentle breathing.
Claude is thinking or running tools. Eyes scan, an occasional sweat drop.
Awaiting your approval for a tool call. Exclamation mark, full-body shake.
Task complete, all tests passed. One jump + confetti.
Phone shaken too hard. Spiral eyes, stars circling the head.
You just responded to an approval. A few hearts float up.
No host paired. Head tilted, soft zZz.
Repeated shakes, long idle naps, birthday surprise… find them yourself.
SoftBuddy doesn't upload prompts, files, or token contents. It's end-to-end local Bluetooth between your iPhone and your Mac — only state enums, counts, and timestamps cross the wire.
