WorkKit Buddy 1.5 — stretch breaks, and exactly what it sees

WorkKit Buddy 1.5 — stretch breaks, and exactly what it sees

Both came from a tester: one asked for a reminder to get up and stretch, the other asked, fairly, what a
pet that watches your coding agent actually reads.

Stretch breaks

Sit at the keyboard for 50 minutes without stepping away and the buddy stops you for a minute or two. It
walks you through three desk stretches, one card at a time — say, Roll your neck, then Open your chest,
then Stand and walk — each with a line on how to do it and about half a minute to do it in, while the
pet stretches alongside you. The last one always gets your eyes off the screen or you out of the chair.

• Right-click ▸ Stretch breaks to choose 30, 45, 50, 60 or 90 minutes, or Off.
• Stretch now starts a routine whenever you like; Stop stretching ends one early.
• Stepping away resets the clock: once the buddy has seen you leave the keyboard, sitting starts over.
• It waits during a focus session and stays quiet in your quiet hours.

Ten stretches to pick from: neck rolls, shoulder rolls, reaching for the ceiling, opening the chest,
wrists and fingers, looking far away, a seated twist, a side bend, ankle circles, and standing up to walk.

A plain-language privacy page

https://www.workkit.in/buddy/#privacy lists everything the buddy can see, what it does with it, and
everything that leaves your computer. In short:

• From your coding agent it reads the event name, the tool name and — only to tell whether tests are
  running — the shell command. Never your prompts, the model's replies or your conversation history.
• It never reads your notifications, looks at your screen, records audio, asks for an account, or sends
  analytics, telemetry or crash reports.
• What leaves your computer: a daily version check to GitHub; your calendar download, if you use meeting
  alerts on Windows or Linux; and your question, if you use Ask. That's all of it.

Writing it down turned up one thing to tighten: the Mac hook also passed along the agent's session ID,
which the app never used. It doesn't any more — the hook now hands over only the event and the tool name.

WorkKit Buddy 1.4 — Codex support, and Linux behaves like an installed app

WorkKit Buddy 1.4 — Codex support, and Linux behaves like an installed app

Two things people asked for after 1.3, both from real use on Ubuntu.

Codex, the same way as Claude Code

Right-click the buddy ▸ Codex ▸ Connect. The pet then mirrors what Codex is doing: thinking when you
send a prompt, editing when it patches a file, testing when it runs your tests, waiting when it needs an
answer from you, and pleased when a turn finishes — exactly as it already did for Claude Code.

The hooks go in ~/.codex/hooks.json (Codex's own lifecycle-hooks file), alongside anything you have
already put there. Your hooks are left alone, a .workkitbuddy-backup is kept beside the original, and
Disconnect removes only ours.

One extra step, and it is not optional: Codex will not run a hook it has not been shown. After
connecting, type /hooks inside Codex, find the WorkKit Buddy entry and trust it. Until then Codex lists
it as needing review and skips it. The menu says so too.

Under the hood it is the same little workkitbuddy-hook binary as before: both agents run it with the
event name and hand it one JSON object on standard input. It also recognises Codex's own tool names now,
so apply_patch shows as editing and exec_command as working or testing.

Linux: it really is an app now

Two bugs that made the Linux edition feel like a script rather than a program:

• The applications-menu entry was dead when you ran the AppImage. An AppImage unpacks itself into a
  temporary folder and throws it away on exit, and the launcher we wrote pointed into that folder — so
  clicking WorkKit Buddy in the menu did nothing, and you had to go back to a terminal every time. The
  launcher now points at the AppImage file itself. Keep that file somewhere permanent; if you move it,
  right-click the pet ▸ Add me to the applications menu and it re-registers itself.
• Closing the terminal killed the buddy. Started from a shell, it was a child of that shell and died
  with it. It now ignores the hang-up signal, so you can start it, close the terminal and carry on.
  Quit from its menu still quits it, and so does pkill -x WorkkitBuddy.

The first run also says where the launcher went, so nobody has to guess.

  against a live Codex session here — if anything looks wrong, /hooks in Codex shows whether the hook is
  trusted and running.

WorkKit Buddy 1.3 — Windows and Linux catch up, and six new buddies

WorkKit Buddy 1.3 — Windows and Linux catch up, and six new buddies

Until now the Mac app could do things the other two could not. That gap is closed: every feature below
works on macOS, Windows and Linux. And there are six new characters to keep you company.

Six new buddies

Bao the panda (snacks, then naps), Rex the dinosaur (tiny arms, big rawr), Lotl the axolotl
(always smiling), Hops the frog, Button the mushroom (grew overnight) and Pip the hedgehog —
twenty-three in all, each with its own animations, tracking eyes and personality lines. Right-click the
buddy ▸ Character to switch, or drop any picture on it to use your own.

Windows and Linux catch up with the Mac

• Ask a question. Ctrl+Alt+A, a double-click on the buddy, or the menu opens a small panel
  beside it. Answers come from Claude or Gemini — whichever you pick under AI assistant — using your
  own API key. The key is stored in a file only you can read and is only ever sent to the service you
  chose. Nothing leaves your machine until you type a question and press Return.
• Global shortcuts. Ctrl+Alt+Space summons the buddy to your cursor, Ctrl+Alt+H hides and
  shows it, Ctrl+Alt+A asks. If another app already owns a combination, it is skipped quietly.
• More than one buddy. Add a friend brings up to six on screen, each a different character.
• Stats now. Processor, memory, battery and uptime, in a speech bubble.
• Meeting alerts. macOS reads your calendars directly; Windows and Linux read a calendar you publish
  as an .ics link (Google Calendar's "secret address in iCal format", or Outlook's Publish). Paste it
  under Nudges ▸ Link a calendar… and the buddy brings a card a few minutes before each meeting.
• A screen saver on Windows. The buddy asleep under a night sky with a clock, the same as the macOS
  one. Use as my screen saver… sets it for your account and opens the Windows dialog so you can see
  it and change your mind. No administrator rights needed.
• Screens that change. Unplug a monitor, close a laptop lid or wake the machine, and nobody is left
  stranded off-screen.

Also

• macOS gains the six new characters; everything else there is unchanged from 1.2.
• The iCalendar reader has a test suite of its own — the project's first.

WorkKit Buddy 1.2 — it tells you when there's a new version

WorkKit Buddy 1.2 — it tells you when there's a new version

Until now, installing Buddy meant never hearing about the next release. This one fixes that, and brings
macOS, Windows and Linux back onto the same version number.

What changed

• New-version notices. Once a day the app asks GitHub what the newest release is. If yours is older, the
  pet delivers a card with a link to the download page — the same card it uses for everything else. It never
  downloads or replaces anything by itself: you install the new version the way you installed this one.
  Right-click the pet ▸ Updates to check on the spot, or to turn the daily look-up off. It is a plain
  request for a public page and carries nothing about you.
• One version everywhere. macOS, Windows and Linux all ship as 1.2, so the version in the menu matches
  the instructions on the website. macOS had been left on 1.1 while the other two were on 1.1.1.
• macOS: the Ask panel ships at last. Press ⌃⌥A, or double-click the pet, and ask Claude or Gemini a
  question without leaving what you are doing. The panel floats beside the pet, remembers the last few turns
  and closes with Esc. Your API key lives in the keychain, is entered from the menu, and nothing is sent
  anywhere until you ask something. (Windows and Linux do not have this yet.)

WorkKit Buddy 1.1.1 — Windows hotfix and the Linux edition

WorkKit Buddy 1.1.1 — Windows hotfix and the Linux edition

A free desktop companion for macOS, Windows and Linux from WorkKit — https://www.workkit.in/buddy/

What changed

• New: Linux edition. The same buddy for x86-64 and ARM64 Linux desktops: wanders, stalks your cursor, can be dragged
  and thrown, delivers notifications in character (envelope, paper plane, knock, confetti, alarm — then a card with
  Dismiss / Snooze / Open), break reminders, focus timer, stand-up and wrap-up nudges, quiet hours, sleeps when you're
  away, dances to your music and reacts to Claude Code. Built with .NET 8 and Avalonia; nothing else to install.
• Windows: the app no longer quits when you tap Dismiss, Open or Snooze on a notification card, or when a
  "needs you", "done", error or battery notification arrives. The delayed-action helper created a timer without
  a callback, which Windows rejects; there was no safety net, so the whole app closed.
• Windows: a global exception guard now logs any unexpected error to %APPDATA%\WorkkitBuddy\WorkkitBuddy.log
  and keeps the pet running instead of closing it.
• macOS: no changes. The 1.1 installer is attached again so every download lives in one place.

Installing on Linux

Requirements: a 64-bit Linux desktop with an X11 session, or Wayland with XWayland (GNOME and KDE have it on by
default), and a compositing window manager — any mainstream desktop of the last decade.

AppImage (works everywhere):

chmod +x WorkKitBuddy-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./WorkKitBuddy-linux-x86_64.AppImage

or right-click the file › Properties › Permissions › "Allow executing file as program", then double-click it.

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / Pop!_OS:

sudo apt install ./workkitbuddy_1.1.1_amd64.deb     # or _arm64.deb
workkitbuddy

You get a launcher in your applications menu and workkitbuddy on the command line.

Anything else: unpack the tar.gz and run ./WorkkitBuddy.

Then: the buddy appears on your desktop — right-click it for everything (characters, focus timer, reminders,
music, Claude Code, launch at login). Settings and custom characters live in ~/.config/WorkkitBuddy.

Optional extras, if your distribution doesn't have them already: pulseaudio-utils (the parec tool — PipeWire
desktops have it through pipewire-pulse) for dancing to music, playerctl for song titles, libnotify-bin for
desktop-style notifications, sound-theme-freedesktop for the little sounds. No permission prompts on Linux.

Send it things from scripts:

xdg-open "workkitbuddy://notify?title=Deploy&text=Production%20is%20live&url=https://workkit.in"
WorkkitBuddy notify "Deploy" "Production is live" https://workkit.in     # same thing, no URL-encoding
WorkkitBuddy say "hello"
WorkkitBuddy react thinking

Installing on macOS and Windows

The installers are self-signed (no Apple Developer ID or Microsoft certificate yet), so each system shows a one-time notice.
The illustrated steps are at https://www.workkit.in/buddy/#install.

Known limits

• The Windows build is cross-compiled from macOS; this fix was verified by review and compilation, not yet on a Windows PC.
• The Linux build is cross-compiled from macOS too. Both builds were exercised on virtual X displays (the ARM64 build
  end to end in a container: window, cards, menus, music mode, .deb install; the x86-64 build in an x86-64 Ubuntu
  24.04 VM: start-up, window, notification card, music mode), not yet on a physical Linux desktop with a real
  compositor and sound. If anything misbehaves, send ~/.config/WorkkitBuddy/WorkkitBuddy.log through
  https://www.workkit.in/contact.
• Linux tray icon: shows on desktops with a tray (GNOME needs the AppIndicator extension). Everything is also in the
  buddy's right-click menu.

• Delivers notifications in person — envelope drop, paper plane, knock, confetti — then a card with Open / Snooze / Dismiss.
• Reacts to Claude Code: thinking, editing, testing, waiting for you, done, error.
• Focus timer, break reminders, stand-up and wrap-up nudges, meeting alerts, battery warnings, quiet hours.
• Seventeen characters (the WorkKit logo, Kit the fox, Duck, Bot, Pengu, Blob, Spike, Hoot, Mocha, Corgi, Capy, Octo, Buzz, Boo, Slo, Cat, Briefcase) or any picture you drag onto it.
• Stays where you put it; optional follow-the-cursor; ghost (click-through) mode; one hotkey to hide or summon.

Known limits in this release

• The Windows build is cross-compiled from macOS and has not yet been verified on real Windows hardware.
• Tested on one Apple-silicon Mac; Intel Macs and macOS 14 are untested.
• Everything runs on your machine; nothing is recorded or uploaded. Music detection needs the System Audio Recording permission on macOS (a single Allow dialog); Windows needs no permission.
