Vibe Buddy is a small desktop robot that keeps Codex and Claude Code usage limits and task status visible while you work. See when your AI is working, needs your input, has finished, or has hit its usage limit—without opening another tab.
a menu bar icon or a terminal notification tells me the same four states for free and doesn't need desk space or a charge cable. I get the appeal, a little face is more fun to glance at than a status bar, but "fun to glance at" is a different value prop than the practical framing on the page. would be curious whether people actually keep it running past the first week once the novelty wears off, versus it becoming another thing sitting unplugged on the desk.
That little robot is so adorable, I can already imagine children trying to steal it from someone's desk :-). Keeping usage limits in view is such a practical idea.
@marying thanks. Will be happy to send you one of the first samples

Okay this is genuinely cute 😄 It's basically an AI-era desk alarm clock — except instead of telling you it's 9 AM, it tells you your agent is out of credits. Super minimal, oddly charming, and I can already see this becoming a staple on every developer's desk setup. Sometimes the best product is just the one you want to look at.
