THE TEN-MINUTE PROBLEM
Your agent isn’t slow. It’s waiting for you.
You kick off a long task, switch to Slack, and come back to find it blocked on one tiny decision. Clippy closes that gap without asking you to move your work into another app.
HOW IT WORKSOut of the way.
Out of the way.
Until it matters.

BUILT FOR PARALLEL WORKSmall buddy.
Small buddy.
Serious range.
The control you need for agent-heavy work, without replacing your terminal, editor, or habits.
Always on the right window
Each buddy perches on its session’s own terminal or editor and follows it when the window moves. One click takes you back.
my-appQuiet by default
No ambient tool spam. A buddy appears when a session needs a decision, finishes a turn, or is waiting for your reply.
Answer the whole loop
Permission requests, plan approvals, questions, and final review all become useful, actionable cards.
✓ Approve a command✓ Revise a plan✓ Send feedback
One cast. Many sessions.
Run five agents in one folder and you’ll get five distinguishable characters—not one confused paperclip.

It doesn’t just notify.
It lets you decide.

UP AND RUNNING IN MINUTES
Give your agents a buddy.
Clippy is open source and built for macOS. Download the app, drag it into Applications (right-click → Open the first time — it’s unsigned), click “Install hooks” when it offers, and your next agent session gets a tiny teammate. Prefer source? The terminal path works too.
