Hi,buddy turns your phone into a Claude Hardware Buddy companion for Claude Desktop.
Connect over Bluetooth and keep Claude's work visible in the palm of your hand. Hi,buddy acts as a BLE peripheral compatible with the Hardware Buddy flow, showing live session state, permission prompts, and feedback controls on the device you already carry.
What Hi,buddy helps with:
• See Claude status at a glance
Track running and waiting sessions, current status, recent activity, and token signals from Claude Desktop.
• Approve faster
When Claude needs permission, Hi,buddy surfaces the request so you can approve once or deny from your phone.
• Feel important changes
Use haptics, sound, visual states, Live Activities, and notifications to notice waiting approvals and session changes.
• No extra device required
Try the Claude Buddy experience without setting up an ESP32 or M5StickC-style hardware accessory.
• Made for makers and developers
Hi,buddy is designed for people who keep Claude Desktop running while coding, shipping, testing, or tinkering.
Important notes:
Hi,buddy works with Claude Desktop's Hardware Buddy Bluetooth flow. For discovery, your device system Bluetooth name may need to start with "Claude". Bluetooth discovery and sensory feedback depend on foreground/background behavior.
