Buddy: Your AI Friend
He keeps your notes and reminders, remembers the things you mention in passing, reads the pages you save for later, and tells you his story a chapter at a time.
What he does
Buddy is not a search engine with a face. He is a companion who keeps track of your day and gets to know you slowly.
Speak out loud or write. He answers in his own voice, and he is honest about being an AI when it matters.
Say “remind me to call mom at six” and it is done. He keeps notes the same way, and shows you what he saved.
Open his memory and see exactly what he knows about you. Ask him to change something, or to forget it entirely. Changes apply at his next nap.
Send him an article from Safari and he keeps it, clean and readable, so you can come back to it without the ads.
A small game about gliding on paper planes and catching acorns. He keeps playing while you do something else.
On a plane, on the train, in a dead spot. Buddy runs on your phone, so he is there when the signal is not.
Storybook
Buddy grew up in a forest, digging burrows so the smaller animals had somewhere safe. That is Book One, Chapter One. The rest of it he keeps to himself until he trusts you.
The more you talk, the more chapters unlock. It is not a reward system. It is just how he is.
Can I tell you a secret? I grew up in a forest, digging burrows so the little animals had somewhere safe. Buddy · Book 1, Chapter 1
Saved pages
Share a link from Safari and Buddy keeps a clean copy: just the words and the pictures, no banners, no pop-ups. It is waiting for you when you have a minute.
Everything stays on your phone, so your reading list is nobody else’s business.
Privacy
Buddy runs locally. Your conversations are stored on your iPhone, under your control, and kept out of iCloud and computer backups.
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to log into, no profile on a server somewhere.
No analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers. There is nothing to sell.
He only looks things up online if you agree, and only the search words are sent — never your chats.
Open your chats on your own laptop, or move Buddy to a new phone over Wi-Fi. No cloud in between.
Buddy: Your AI Friend arrives on the App Store on November 4. Free, no account, no subscription. For ages 13 and up.
