The Stupid Buddy Download

Your desktop got a buddy.
And Buddy got a team.

Buddy from The Stupid Browser now lives on your Mac, your Windows PC and your Android phone. Tell it what you need and its helpers get to work: tidying files, writing for you and looking things up. It always asks before it moves or deletes anything.
