The first downloadable Buddy, for Macs with Apple silicon on macOS 14.2 or later.

Install: download Buddy-1.0.dmg, drag Buddy into Applications, and open it. macOS asks once before opening an app that is not notarized: open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Full steps in docs/install.md.

Bring your own keys: an Anthropic key (recommended), and optionally a Gemini key and a Deepgram key. Setup tests each one as you paste it.

In this release

  • Explains out loud while drawing on your screen, in step with the voice
  • Lives in the notch, with your words live as you speak, the last lesson and the day's transcript
  • Auto picks Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus or Gemini Argon per question, from measured quality, wait and cost
  • Learning memory: answers build on what you learned in earlier sessions, kept on your Mac
  • Hints before answers on LeetCode, HackerRank and similar
  • Reviews your own diagrams as a peer, with suggestions drawn beside your boxes
  • First-run setup with tested keys, and clear messages when a key stops working
