buddylist launches multi-agent coding chat
buddylist is a free desktop app that puts Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode into an MSN-style interface with Git worktrees, group chats, diffs, terminals, previews, and PR checks. [Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/products/buddylist-2)
The retro messenger skin is fun, but the real pitch is disciplined coordination across competing coding agents.
- –Git worktree isolation makes parallel agent workflows safer, while shared-folder chats enable handoffs and collaborative reviews.
- –Bring-your-own accounts reduce vendor lock-in, but developers still manage each provider’s authentication, quotas, and usage costs.
- –buddylist enters a crowded orchestration category alongside tools such as Cursor and Emdash.
- –The project is early-stage: its public repository says the source is private and currently notes that Windows is not supported yet, conflicting with the broader Product Hunt launch description. [GitHub](https://github.com/SafaElmali/buddylist?ref=producthunt)
