About buddylist

Buddylist is a unique desktop application designed for developers and AI enthusiasts who want to streamline their coding workflows with AI agents. Available for macOS (including Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux, it immerses users in a nostalgic MSN-style buddy list interface where they can chat with multiple AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode. The tool allows users to organize agents into separate worktrees for different projects or group them in shared folders for collaborative tasks. It facilitates seamless task delegation, collaborative answering, or turn-taking among agents. Additionally, Buddylist integrates essential developer tools such as diff reviews, terminal access, app previews, and PR check tracking directly alongside the chat interface, creating a comprehensive environment for AI-assisted development. By supporting separate provider accounts and usage management, it offers flexibility for tailored workflows, making it ideal for developers who want a playful yet powerful AI assistant hub.
