buddylist
Free desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux that puts Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and OpenCode in an MSN-style buddy list: each agent works in its own Git worktree, or several share a group chat, with diffs, terminals and PR checks beside the conversation. Agents run on your own accounts.
