Buddy 1.0
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.
