Spiral Buddy

Spiral Buddy

A quiet desktop companion for loud days.
Nothing saved. Nothing shared.

Spiral Buddy is a small desktop companion for moments when your brain is loud, but you still need to be at your desk.

It doesn’t try to fix you.
It doesn’t track you.
It doesn’t study you.

It just stays with you.

What it does

• Sits quietly on your screen
• Gentle check-ins like “How are you doing?” (you choose the frequency)
• A text void — type what’s in your head, press enter, it disappears
• Three companions to choose from:
  Lottie the otter · Bao the panda · Luna the cat

What it doesn’t do

• No notifications — nothing pulls you back in
• No accounts or signups — nothing tied to your identity
• No tracking, analytics, or data collection
• No advice, coaching, optimization, or productivity metrics

Privacy, by design

Nothing is saved.
Nothing is shared.
Nothing is analyzed.

Your thoughts stay on your machine.
There’s no server, no cloud, no backend.

Works on

• macOS
• Windows

This isn’t productivity software

Spiral Buddy isn’t here to make you better or more efficient.

It’s for:

• sitting with discomfort instead of fighting it
• staying present while working alone
• having something gentle nearby when things feel heavy

If it helps you focus, great.
If it just helps you breathe, that’s enough too.
