Get your buddy ↗A little company for your workday
Meet the desktop companion that reminds you to drink, stretch, breathe — and call it a day. A friendly face, right when you need one.
SMALL MOMENTS, MADE PERSONAL
Choose a moment. See how a friendly reminder fits into your day.
Make time for yourself.
A little water, a little reset. Take a sip!
A BUDDY FOR EVERY KIND OF DAY
Water, stand and walk, eye rest, exercise, breathing, dance, meals, breaks and your own custom reminders. Choose the message and action that feel like you.
Repeat by minutes, hours, days, weeks or months. Switch individual reminders on or off. Reminders arriving together take turns.
Set office hours, early finish days and a work limit. Let Buddy remind you when it’s time to head home.
Choose a male or female companion and give them a name. Upload your own character action sheets with guided generation prompts.
Optional notification chimes play before Buddy arrives. Reminder messages appear on screen. Spoken reminders are temporarily disabled in the current release.
Optional wake phrase detection brings Buddy to your corner. Create a reminder using the form, or close the visit. Buddy leaves after saving, or after 30 seconds of inactivity. No spoken command conversation.
LESS SETUP. MORE LIVING.
A few simple choices, then Buddy takes care of the nudges.
Pick a companion, add a name and choose the left or right corner.
Choose an action, set when it repeats and write your message — or keep the default.
Close the window. Buddy stays in the system tray and shows up when it’s time.
AT HOME ON YOUR COMPUTER
Reminders and character files stay on your device. Normal use works completely offline. Internet is needed to purchase, download, activate or deactivate your license.
ONE SMALL PRICE. A LONG-TERM BUDDY.
One license. One active computer. Move it with you by deactivating on your old device first.
Personal reminders. A companion of your own.
Secure payment through Razorpay
No voluntary refunds after activation, except where legally required. Read the refund policy before purchasing.
GOOD TO KNOW
Yes. Closing the main window keeps MyDeskBuddy in the system tray. Right-click the tray icon and choose Exit to stop it. Your computer must be awake and the app running for reminders to appear.
Yes. Use the in-app generation prompts to create PNG action sheets, then upload and preview them. Idle and walking are required; missing actions use the idle pose. Still images do not create a true walking cycle by themselves.
Deactivate online on your current computer, then activate on another with your key and purchase email. Only one active server registration is allowed. Because everyday use is fully offline, a previously copied offline activation cannot be remotely revoked. Lost-device cases require support.
macOS support is being prepared and is not available to download yet. Installation requirements will be listed when a tested Mac build is ready. An unsigned, unnotarized DMG may require approval in macOS Privacy & Security.
The optional microphone feature detects only “Hey Buddy” locally to open the reminder interface. Spoken commands and conversations are not part of this version. You can also summon Buddy with a button.
After the server confirms a captured payment, your receipt shows your unique key and the available download. We also email your receipt, key and download link to your purchase address. Activate with that key and the same email address. Check your spam folder or use Find your receipt if the email is delayed.
