24 alternatives to AI Buddy
This is a weekend project I created due to my frustration with the classic terminal applications that have the issue that if I restart my Mac, then my Claude Code instances or my shell instances—are stopped, and I have to manually run them again. Plus, they are not quite optimized for running multiple Claude Code instances, so I created this project to address this issue.

It can also use your IP address while running browsers in the cloud, which helps a lot with roadblocks like captchas (https://docs.smooth.sh/features/use-my-ip).
