Overview

bigbud is an open-source AI companion workspace for macOS that gives you one place to think, write, plan, research, and build — whether you're coding, writing, analyzing, or exploring ideas. It keeps your projects where they are and lets you move between AI harnesses like Claude, Codex, Copilot, OpenCode, Pi, and Cursor as the work changes, so you're never locked into one. Switch between chats, projects, and ideas without losing the thread, and review every edit to keep longer work on track. A built-in browser lets you look things up, annotate pages, and pull useful context into your work without breaking flow, while an integrated terminal, system command execution with approval workflows, remote SSH project access, real-time streaming, voice dictation, and thread management round out the workspace. Originally built for developers, designed for everyone.
