ClaudeBuddy for Windows

A tiny desktop pet that lives on your taskbar and knocks on the glass when your AI coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, or anything else — is done or needs your OK.

Windows port of [ClaudeBuddy for macOS](https://github.com/pooriaanv/claudBuddy-Mac) (v0.0.9), built with Tauri v2.

Features

**It knocks when your agent needs you.** A finished turn or a permission prompt brings the buddy up to the glass: it knocks three times (each character has its own knock sound) and shows who's waiting and in which project. Reply, or click it, and it goes back to its spot. Several sessions at once are queued.

**Or right where it is.** Settings → Behavior → Knock: *Big, in the middle* or *Right where it is* (same spot and size, just in front of every window).

**It has a life.** Sits, looks around, walks, dances, naps when you're away and wakes up with a yawn. Its eyes follow your cursor. Click for hearts; drag it around and drop it — it falls back to the floor. Drop it on an app and it stays in front of all your windows; drop it on the desktop and it goes back behind them. Every character meditates now and then; the ninjas practice kata, kicks, shuriken and the sword; Byte opens a laptop and codes.

**Quiet when you're watching** (optional): if the session runs in the Claude/Codex desktop app and you're already looking at it, the buddy shows a small `✓ project` tag instead of knocking.

**Settings** — 8 characters, size, mischief (Calm / Playful / Naughty), sound, knock style, open at login, English / فارسی, and one-click agent hooks.
