Some days you know exactly what to do. Other days you have a vague, heavy something you have been avoiding for a week, and every planner app you own just gives you an empty box and a cursor. Buddy is the planner you talk to. Say what is on your mind, out loud or typed. Buddy asks a couple of questions and turns it into a plan for today, broken into pieces that actually fit an afternoon. HOW IT WORKS 1. Talk or type. "I have a systems design interview Thursday and I have not started." "I have a spelling test and football practice." 2. Buddy talks it through with you and suggests a handful of tasks, for today or the week ahead. 3. You decide what goes in. Nothing lands on your day until you say yes. Then your day is a plan: Morning, Afternoon and Evening, with times if you want them. Tap a task to finish it. SAVE IT FROM ANYWHERE Share a link or a picture to Buddy from any app and it lands in Saved links. Open it later, say what you wanted from it, and Buddy turns that into a task. Nothing is fetched, and your saved list stays on your phone. IT ADAPTS TO WHOEVER OPENS IT Buddy asks your first name and your age band once, then gets out of the way. - Around 7 to 12: short sentences, plain words, emoji, and a bit of celebration when you finish - Students: assignments, revision, exam prep - Working: interview prep, certifications, side projects, deep-work blocks SEND A PLAN FROM YOUR AI ASSISTANT Planning with Claude, Claude Code or Cursor? Signed in and 18 or over, ask it to send the plan to Buddy. Tasks wait in Drafts until you add them. No assistant can see your plan.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your tasks and notes live on your phone, unless you turn on cloud backup. There is no account to create, no ads, and no tracking or analytics of any kind. What you say or show to Buddy goes to OpenAI so it can reply, with this week's tasks and the day a Talk is opened on, so the plan fits your day. Lock a task, or turn on Keep my plan private, and it is left out. Sign in with Google, Apple, or a phone number is optional, and only from age 13 for a phone number.
