Pick a pet fast

BuddyClaw keeps the core controls in the menu bar, so switching pet, style, and size takes seconds.

Keep memory local

Imports, notes, timeline events, and offline extractive answers stay on your Mac.

Stay privacy-first

The Mac App Store build keeps activity capture off by default until you explicitly enable it.
