buddylist
Chat with your coding agents like it's 2005
A free desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux that puts Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and OpenCode in an MSN-style buddy list. Use separate Git worktrees for separate jobs, or group-chat agents in a shared folder. Let them take turns, answer together or hand unfinished tasks to another agent. Review diffs, run terminals, preview your app and track PR checks beside the chat. Bring your own agent accounts; provider access and usage are separate.

The MSN-style interface brings back memories:D. What made you go with that design?

Love the MSN vibes. Bringing multiple coding agents together in one chat and letting them collaborate sounds super useful. Such a fun idea with a nostalgic twist!

I really like the idea of incorporating AI coding agents into a familiar chat style interface. I’m curious as these agents become more capable, could a buddy list evolve into a platform where multiple agents not only work side by side but also collaborate on the same project, sharing the context of their work with one another?

So fun! I would love skins for different nostalgic messenger apps: AIM, ICQ, etc.

Strong nostalgia vibes!

This makes me happy. MSN for coding agents is the most fun take on running several agents at once that I've seen. Can I add Hermes as a buddy, or is it just the four built in?

The shared project folder is the detail I like here. Switching agents mid-task is a lot less appealing if you have to explain the whole job again.

Hey everyone, I’m Safa, the maker of buddylist 👋Remember MSN Messenger? I built buddylist to bring that feeling to working with coding agents.Add Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and OpenCode as buddies. Bring them into a group chat, ask Claude to build a feature, then have Codex review it. They share the conversation’s project folder. You can also choose another agent to continue an unfinished checklist.Separate contacts can work in their own Git worktrees. Chat tabs and forked chats share the existing folder. Review diffs, run a terminal, preview your app and manage PRs beside the conversation. There are retro themes, nudges and winks too.buddylist is free for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux, with optional Buy Me a Coffee support. Bring your own agent accounts; provider access and usage are separate.Download or try the browser demo with scripted replies: https://buddylist.dev
